Icacos Island (Cayo Icacos)

Cayo Icacos , Fajardo, Puerto Rico, 00738

The Basics

A white sand beach rings a forested grove at the center of the tiny island, where waves and wind are almost the only sounds. Offshore, schools of colorful tropical fish inhabit a system of coral reefs. Snorkeling cruises to Cayo Icacos are a popular option for mainland visitors, and boat tours typically leave from Fajardo or even San Juan. Motor boat and catamaran cruises allow you to swim from the safety of the ship’s deck, explore the colorful reef below, and go ashore to stroll along the beach and visit the green center of the island. It’s also possible to visit Icacos as part of an island-hopping tour.

Eli, Danty, Robert and Micheal we’re so welcoming and awesome the whole entire trip. They provided us with happy drinks the whole entire time to keep us hydrated in the heat and delicious food to keep us energized . The vibes of the crew were everything! The crew is knowledgeable and prioritizes your safety, I give them a 10 out of 10. We are definitely booking with them again when we come back ! I definitely recommend!

Icacos Island All-Inclusive Snorkel and Boat Tour
Snorkeling & staff were amazing. There's not much to do on the island & our tour was a little more crowded than I would have expected on the boat (over 30 people.) Food was okay.
The crew was amazing!...

Icacos Island Catamaran Day Sail from Fajardo
Truly enjoyed this trip! Giving 4/5 stars for the reason that others were given partial refund for the lack of snorkeling due to weather and I was told no partial refunds! The staff on board was amazing!! Extremely attentive, concerned for safety since the water was rough, they made sure we had fun!! Lunch was excellent, we were treated like royalty on this trip!

Icacos Island Boat Trip and Beach Day Package from Fajardo
What an amazing experience!! What’s included for the price is unheard of. Our guide Jesus was phenomenal. If I could give them 10 stars I would. The beach was out of this world and their guided tour and snorkeling experience was amazing.
