Exceptional experience! - My family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids ages 5, 7, 10) took this private tour in December 2024. It was the absolute highlight of our trip to Puerto Rico. The boat was large and very comfortable, and put me at ease with my 3 kids aboard. As I compared tours some of the boats were smaller and less equipped, and I was happy we were on this boat on a relatively choppy day. Our captain was amazing, made us comfortable, had ample snacks/lunch/beverages on board, and had water floats. A+++ all around, thank you!

A great time on water - We had an absolutely incredible experience on our private boat tour departing from Marina Puerto Chico! From the moment we boarded, everything was smooth, professional, and fun. The captain Carols was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout the day. Our first stop was the stunning reef area off Cayo Icacos, where we enjoyed some of the best snorkeling we've ever done. The water was crystal clear and full of vibrant colorful fish. Kids said they wanted to stay more time here! After snorkeling, we relaxed on Icacos Beach, a beautiful, remote spot with powdery white sand and turquoise water. It felt like paradise, perfect for sunbathing, swimming, or just taking in the views. Next, we headed to Isla Palominos, where we had the unforgettable opportunity to see sea turtles in their natural habitat. It was such a peaceful and magical experience to watch them glide gracefully through the water. Our guide was respectful of the wildlife and made sure we observed them safely and responsibly. This tour was the highlight of our trip to Puerto Rico.

The best day of our family, vacation by far! - I’m always a little skeptical about these tours, but this one did not disappoint! From the courteous staff and captain Carlo to the thoughtful care and attention of ensuring that we had everything we needed to make our day the most enjoyable it could be. The snorkeling was spectacular. The sea turtles were adorable. Because we were staying at El Conquistador, during our stop at Palomino Island we were able to use all of the amenities there! A perfect way to end a perfect day. Thank you again, Carlo and the entire team at Encanto tours!

Great day trip - Captain Carlos was the best. He really is skilled at making everyone feel comfortable and taken care of. Private charter was definitely the way to go and gave us the flexibility to choose how long we wanted to stay in a spot. We saw so many different fish in the clear water of the snorkeling area. Turtles were fun to catch glimpses of. Palomino shoreline water was murky for snorkeling but one of the boat captains spotted a big manta ray. That was a cool experience to see up close. Our group had a great time and would recommend this trip.

10/10 would do again - What an amazing experience, I will never be able to take a boat tour with others again. The private tour for just me and my family was worth every penny. Carlos was a great host and captain. He brought sandwhiches, chips, soda, water, and local beer. We brought other drinks and He added them to the cooler. We made 3 stops and one pass by. Snorkeling was amazing and so were the beach stops. We did a pass by of the turtle area and saw many turtles. It is a protected area so no snorkeling here. Still an amazing time watching the turtles. The 4 hours was just enough.
