Reef first, then the beach

About this experience

Tena Rock Corp, which trades as Al Este Puerto Rico, runs this from Villa Marina at 200 Ave Marina View in Fajardo. Check-in is an hour before departure. The boat is a 46-foot motorboat and the listing caps it at 40 guests, about half what the big catamarans carry.

The order is reef, then beach. Guests describe a ride of around 30 minutes, about an hour of snorkeling and roughly 90 minutes on Icacos. Snorkel gear comes in kids' sizes and there are floats. On board you get sandwiches, snacks, fruit, unlimited soft drinks, rum cocktails and beer.

Two things to check. The ages don't quite agree on the listing: one section says not for under 5, another says 4, so ask before you book with a four-year-old. The trip isn't suitable during pregnancy. The listing also flags it as likely to sell out, so book early for weekends and holidays.
