Keys VIP Snorkel: Transformative Private Ocean Escape

We did the half day, 4 hour tour. Carlos was our guide and he was awesome! He was knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. The snorkeling was fun and we were able to see a ton of marine life. The beaches he took us to were beautiful, uncrowded, and relaxing. The boat was very nice and well stocked with beer, water, and soda. Sandwiches were served with chips which made a nice snack after swimming. We would definitely recommend Carlos and Encanto boat tours if you’re in Puerto Rico!

- Positives: Great captain, well planned excursion - Negatives: Not too communicative (make sure to reach out ahead of time), snacks are okay, the boat seating is not comfortable and worst is there is no bathroom on the vessel

Our Captain Jamil was excellent- so nice and knowledgeable and responsible. He takes pride in ensuring everyone (even those not on our boat!) is safe and the environment retains it's natural beauty. The snorkeling was fun- spotted several schools of beautiful fish. The beaches were pristine and perfect for relaxing. We saw several turtles and a stingray on the way to the beach. Last of all, the cooler was stocked with refreshments! Would highly recommend for those looking for a private excursion to the small islands near Puerto Rico!

I was on an excursion on November 11 with Captain Jose and his crew. We had a bit of a bumpy ride on the way out and they took very good care of those in my group that got sick. The location for snorkeling and the beach was amazing! I highly recommend asking for Jose to be your captain! Food was good and the rum punch kept coming! Thank you Jose and crew!

Fantastic experience. Our guide was amazing and even though the seas were a bit rough, we had a great time. The boat was perfect for six people.

I booked a private boat tour for my birthday. Jamil( sorry if I spelled wrong) was our captain. We were able to bring our own drinks and food onboard. The tour did come with sandwiches, chips, beer, water and soda so we didn’t have to. This tour was hands down a 10/10 and was the highlight of our trip to PR!. We visited 2 separate islands/beaches and were able to get in the water which was sooooooo nice! I will definitely be booking this tour again on my next trip!

Icacos is gorgeous with crystal-clear water and soft white sand. The trip itself was fun, but booking and communication were frustrating. I accidentally booked for 6 instead of 7 and couldn’t reach anyone until the day before while on another excursion but cell service was bad so it was hard to hear the personx of. We also arrived 30 minutes late, so one person had to take a water taxi. Captain Jamil was very efficient and helpful once we were on the water, but his delivery often felt harsh and scolding, which took away from the celebratory mood. Tip: double-check your booking details and read everything carefully before you go.

We had an amazing private charter with Carlos! We discovered breathtaking island sites, including the pristine white-sand beaches and vibrant turquoise waters of Cayo Icacos and Isla Palominos. Our captain, Carlos, truly made the experience exceptional with his friendly demeanor, attentiveness, and wealth of knowledge. The onboard amenities elevated our trip, from the delicious snacks and lunch provided to the relaxing atmosphere. It was a truly perfect day on the water. Highly recommended!

It was an amazing tour! Saw so many wild life turtles, a manatee mom and calf swimming, and many fishes!

Our tour guide was Jamin who was amazing and deserves 5 stars. This tour was great and so much fun! We were provided amazing ham and cheese sandwiches and chips and many beers, sodas and waters. We visited 2-3 beautiful islands with crystal clear waters. The experience was great and I would do it again.
