Leisure Boat Experience, based right in Fajardo, offers a range of boat trips tapping into the natural beauty of the nearby keys and islands, including Palomino, Icacos, Culebra, and Vieques. These adventures draw visitors into clear turquoise waters and vibrant reefs that define this part of Puerto Rico’s outdoor scene.
Palomino and Icacos Keys provide half- and full-day excursions perfect for snorkeling amid coral formations and uneven underwater landscapes teeming with tropical fish. The sheer accessibility from Fajardo’s marina makes these trips ideal for travelers looking to blend ease with natural wonder.

Beyond the water, visitors can appreciate the area’s historical roots tied to Caribbean maritime trade and indigenous Taíno culture.
