Fajardo Mini Boat Snorkel Safari

2.Fajardo Mini Boat Snorkel Safari

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,053 reviews Top rated

Review of Fajardo’s mini boat snorkel safari, with Icacos, reef snorkeling, beach time, pricing, safety, and practical tips.

“With an absolutely perfect day - blue skies for miles, bright sunshine and calm clear water - this trip was the highlight of our stay in Puerto Rico! Excellent staff, Kevin and Jose, were a most important element in our fun as they went from guides to friends in short order. Inflatables are a blast and a fine way to access an outstanding reef for snorkeling where we were joined by parrotfish, blue tang, jacks, and a whole host of other beautiful fish. A special treat was communing with a big, friendly barracuda and a most curious cuttlefish which changed hues to match the reef's colorful background.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 504 reviews · from $38

Explore Langkawi’s Kilim mangroves by small boat, with wildlife, caves, lunch, beach time, hotel pickup, and an expert guide.

“We had a fantastic time on this tour! Our guide Fauzan was highly knowledgable about the caves, animals, and mangroves. He was friendly, very funny, and made sure we all had the chance to see the different wildlife we encountered on the trip. Our boat driver Kiran was also brilliant, spotting animals and manoeuvring us to get a good view. We liked the emphasis on ethical tourism, respect for the wildlife, and the company’s “no feeding” policy. Lunch was delicious and pick up and drop off were smooth and easy. Great operator and great way to see the Geoforest Park!”

9.Green Canyon Jeep and Boat Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 289 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $30

Review of Side’s Green Canyon Jeep and Boat Tour: off-road fun, lunch, lake scenery, Manavgat Waterfall, costs, tips, and drawbacks.

“Jeep Safari is a great day out and would highly recommend. Johnny Cash & team looked after all the guests and were a charismatic bunch! Saw some wonderful sights including the Green Lake which included a boat trip, Manavgat Waterfalls and numerous landmarks I.e a huge dam, ancient ruins and the green canyon. Lunch was delicious and it felt so free to be stood up in a moving jeep whizzing through the countryside. Only downside was I got my hair wet in the water fight with other jeeps which I’d rather not have happened, but on the plus side it did cool you down a bit so not all bad.…”
