A snorkel cruise with a slide

Snorkeling Puerto Rico runs a five-hour snorkel cruise to Icacos from Marina Puerto Chico in Fajardo, on two boats, the Medusa and El Kraken, with lunch and drinks on board. Pick it for the water slide on the Medusa, which is the hook for kids aged 6 and up.

About this experience

Snorkeling Puerto Rico sails from Marina Puerto Chico in Fajardo. Getting in is a small puzzle the first time: parking is free outside the marina gate, you tell the guard you have a reservation with Snorkeling Puerto Rico, then check in on the rooftop of Sabalo's Marina and Grill. The trip runs five hours.

Two boats share the cruise, the Medusa and El Kraken, and the listing puts the water slide on the Medusa. The listing describes the trip as going to Icacos Island. Lunch, soft drinks and rum-based drinks are included, and the bar on board serves alcohol to guests 21 and over.

Check the fine print on who can come. The listing says it isn't suitable for children under 6, pregnant travellers, people with mobility impairments or wheelchair users. If your kids are younger, the Double Dip takes ages 2 and up, and the Swim, Snorkel and Relax boat lists a reef stop and then about 90 minutes on Icacos.
