You step onto the marina at first light and the boat smells of seawater and sunscreen; the crew checks masks while the engine hums a steady promise. By mid-morning the water opens up, a blue that dares you closer, and the boat slips toward coral gardens—Icacos for afternoon tours, Vieques for morning departures—each island offering clear shallows and reefs that host parrotfish and branching corals.

Wildlife
History
Vieques and the surrounding cays have Taíno and Spanish colonial history; Vieques later hosted U.S. naval operations, shaping local land use and conservation efforts.
Conservation
Operators ask guests to use reef-safe sunscreens and avoid touching coral; staying with guided groups reduces anchor damage and disturbance to marine life.
Reserve your spot on the All Inclusive Snorkel and Slide Boat Tour: Icacos or Vieques today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Arrive early to check in
Marina check-in times can be strict; arrive 30–45 minutes early to store belongings and get fitted for gear.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply sunscreen before boarding and reapply sparingly—oxybenzone-free formulas protect coral and reduce skin irritation in salt water.
Secure valuables ashore
Items not rated waterproof can be lost—leave valuables in your car or the marina locker if available.
Hydrate and eat a light breakfast
A light meal and water before boarding reduce seasickness risk and keep energy up for snorkeling.
Mask and snorkel (personal fit)
A well-fitting mask reduces fogging and lets you focus on marine life rather than adjusting gear.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects your skin and the coral ecosystems—apply before boarding.
