We arranged a private charter to Icacos and Palominos with Escape to Paradise Puerto Rico. Our Captain Adriana, and her deck mate Syd, were fantastic! They were super hospitable, attentive, energetic, and really prioritized safety. My husband, my two teens and I had a great time. The snorkeling was great, and we got to relax in the beautiful crystal clear water with drinks and all. We couldn’t have asked for a better day, This female crew went above and beyond to make our experience a great one.
Spectacular!!!! It was nothing less that spectacular. Amazing is not even enough. That word doesn’t cover it.
Sid, the first mate was gorgeous inside and out. She was friendly, knowledge and kind. She pointed out areas in the reef to look more closely at, explained the ecosystem and showed us the largest jellyfish we’d ever seen. She was our bartender, our server and the best host we could ask for.
Jon, our captain, was phenomenal. He was pure energy and it was contagious! We had a spot of rain and the fun started right there. He was all about leaning into it and within minutes, we were seizing the moment to see colorful sea life, gorgeous beaches and listening and dancing to music in the sand.
I cannot tell you what a blessing it was to have the day we did with this phenomenal crew! I will never book with another company and I will go private every time! It’s worth it and in the end, you spend the same for private service. Definitely more bang of your buck! You set the pace and the itinerary. Full control in a clean gorgeous boat racing to paradise! Can’t beat it!
We booked the half day last minute and it was sooooo worth it!!! Jon and Syd(spelling) were fantastic. It was just our family of 4 along with them and they were so wonderful with our kids (7&12yrs). They provide sandwiches, chips, drinks! It was a great way to relax and just have fun. The snorkeling was super fun as well and we seen lots of beautiful fish. We also hung out on the island for a long time relaxing and the kids snorkeled and swam. Book it you will have so much fun!
If you’re on the fence about booking this private charter tour, click CONFIRM now (and ask for Syd and Adriana 2)! We had Adriana 2 as our captain and Syd as our guide; they were nothing short of an incredible team. We are a family of 5 with 3 kids & everyone had an amazing time. They gave us the freedom to choose how long we wanted to stay at each location and continually checked in to see if we (kids included) needed anything. The snacks, sandwiches and drinks were perfect for the time out on the water. We all had a great time seeing the reef, many types of fish and multiple sea turtles! This is a must-do if you’re looking for an unforgettable experience for your group or family!
We spent a fantastic half-day with Escape to Paradise Puerto Rico on their full-service charter adventure, and it was easily one of the best days of our trip. Adriana and John were incredible guides—warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the reef, the island, and its wildlife.
We’re a family of five, and they made everything easy and fun. From the high-quality snorkeling gear to the floating mats and noodles, they had everything we needed to relax and explore. They provided snacks and lunch for everyone, and let us trust their lead on where to go—and they absolutely delivered. Icacos was stunning, and the reef snorkeling was unforgettable.
The boat was clean and comfortable, and having access to a freshwater shower afterward was a huge bonus—especially before heading to dinner or back to your hotel.
If you’re debating between a half-day and full-day charter: book the full day. We would 100% go back and do this again, but longer next time. It was the perfect mix of adventure and chill, and we left with great memories and salty smiles.
Highly recommend.
