Frequently Asked Questions
Is food included in the Icacos Island Beach Day Package?
No — food and drinks are not included. Icacos Island is uninhabited and has no vendors of any kind. You must bring everything you plan to eat and drink for the day. There is a small shop at Marina Puerto Chico where you can stock up before boarding. Budget at least 2 liters of water per person for a 5-hour day in Caribbean heat.
How long do we actually spend on Icacos Island?
The total tour is 5 hours, which includes approximately 25–30 minutes of boat transit each way. That leaves roughly 3.5 to 4 hours on the island itself — significantly more beach time than the 30–60 minutes most multi-stop catamaran tours offer.
Do I need to snorkel on this tour?
Absolutely not. Snorkeling is optional and completely self-directed. The crew will show you where to go if you want to explore the reef, but there's no obligation. Many guests on this tour spend the entire time on the beach and have a fantastic experience. Snorkel gear is included in the price either way.
What sunscreen is allowed at Icacos Island?
Only reef-safe mineral sunscreen containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide is permitted inside the Cordillera Nature Reserve. Rangers actively patrol the water and will ask swimmers using chemical sunscreen (look for ingredients like oxybenzone or octinoxate) to exit. Apply your mineral sunscreen at least 30 minutes before entering the water.
Is the boat ride to Icacos Island rough?
Morning crossings are typically calm and take 25–30 minutes. Afternoon trade winds pick up reliably after noon and can make the open-water crossing choppier. If you're prone to motion sickness, book a morning departure and consider taking a non-drowsy motion sickness tablet an hour before boarding. The water inside the Cordillera Reserve is calmer than the open ocean.
What Guests Say
We wanted a real beach day, not a 45-minute stop. This tour delivered. We had nearly 4 hours on Icacos and it felt like we had the island to ourselves by mid-morning. Bring your own food — the crew warned us and they were right.
Perfect for our family. Our kids are too young for structured snorkeling tours, so having the freedom to play on the beach at their own pace was exactly what we needed. $95 per person for that much time on an uninhabited Caribbean island is genuinely good value.
I'm a travel photographer and I came specifically for the light in the early morning and the golden hour before pickup. The crew was flexible and let me wade in for some underwater shots. Bring a waterproof case for your phone — the water clarity is unreal.
