Amarilin Alamo, a certified tour guide, and her husband, Néstor Martnez, founded Island Kayaking Adventures (IKA) in 1998 to share their love of nature and Fajardo’s unique environmental characteristics, such as the bioluminescent bay/lagoon known as Laguna Grande.

Now, his son Néstor Martinez Jr., a certified tour guide, and his family are proud to carry on their parent’s legacy by showing their guests the island’s natural wonders.

Furthermore, their combined expertise in Marine Biology, First Aid, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), lifeguarding, and swimming enables these guides to take visitors beyond adventures, educating them about their surroundings and creating life-changing experiences.

For the past 20 years, Island Kayaking Adventure has run tours for visitors worldwide. We are dedicated to providing the best experience possible while also being environmentally conscious. Our tours are certified and endorsed by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company.

We’ve also had the pleasure of welcoming a professional staff that has become a part of the family over the years.

FAQ's

No experience is necessary on our trips! Our tours are perfect for beginners. We provide all the equipment you’ll need, and it’s exceptionally stable to help you feel secure on the water. Plus, we start with a fun and easy Kayaking 101 lesson to get you comfortable and ready to enjoy the adventure. It’s all about having a great time and experiencing something new! Fitness Requirement: You will paddle moderately for two miles! All participants must be reasonably fit and agile to get in and out of the kayak and able to sit at a 90-degree angle with their legs forward.

Rest assured, knowing how to swim is not required for the tour. We prioritize your safety and provide everyone with life jackets. Additionally, the water canal we paddle through is mainly 3 to 5 feet deep, ensuring a secure and enjoyable experience.

Tandem kayaks are much wider and extremely stable, designed to prevent tipping over. To ensure safety, they have a weight limit of 225 lbs (102kg) per person. — When loaded to its maximum capacity, the kayak will lose stability and maneuverability if the weight limit is exceeded. That is why it’s important not to overload a kayak beyond its weight capacity.
