We had a group of 8 and the crew was fantastic! We did not experience anything but excellent service. The crew was very engaged and kept the trip fun, specific instructions were given regarding lunch and times of departure. Would definitely do again.

The crew was so friendly and welcoming, the food was outstanding, the drinks were even better and they didn’t stop serving! We had a child (7 years old) who had never been snorkeling and the crew did great having what he needed to learn. Will absolutely be back to enjoy! Keep up the amazing work!

Went with a big wedding crowd. My 7 and 2yr olds LOVED the trip!! It was awesome. The crew was excellent (im a sailor in MA). Professional, courteous to everyone, great service and funny as heck. It was a very nice trip my kids and us will never forget! Thank you guys! Will see you again this winter!

Keep up the good work.

Recently booked a snorkeling tour to Icacos and it was amazing. The prices were fair and they were able to provide transportation from Viejo San Juan for an additional cost. The crew was amazing and took care of us. They were very attentive and they kept the drinks coming. The water conditions weren’t the best for snorkeling but they did their best to find us s spot. Accessing the beach required to swim from the boat. It wasn’t ideal but made it fun. I intend to book again on my next trip to PR. Next time it’ll be Culebra. Keep up the good work. I would love to hear more reguetón and more Latin music next time.

Icacos Island tours

Not all day tours to Icacos Island Puerto Rico are created equal. You’ll want a reputable tour operator that creates an immersive experience and has the amenities and timeframe you’re looking for.

  • Icacos Island Catamaran Cruise. This full-day cruise is honestly a perfect way to spend a day visiting Cayo Icacos! Expect lunch and tropical drinks, too.
  • Icacos Island Boat Trip. This 1/2 day cruise just offers light refreshments instead of a full lunch. I love that this tour also offers umbrellas to lounge at the beach.

Tours to Cayo Icacos leave from Fajardo, so you’ll have to consider transportation to the marina, depending on where you’re staying.

I personally enjoyed the Catamaran cruise from Fajardo . This tour struck the perfect balance between adventure and comfort, while providing enough time to relax and adventure on the island as a full day tour.

These tour itineraries are thoughtfully crafted, offering a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration of this uninhabited island. From basking in the sun on the pristine beach to snorkeling adventures, you’re sure to have a good time!

What to expect at Icacos Puerto Rico

Immerse yourself in nature’s beauty, as Mother Nature really nailed it with this island! Create moments that linger in your memory long after your trip concludes.

The way to the island is about a 30 – 45 minute boat ride. You’ll see the beautiful coast of the mainland and Tortuga Reef as you go from Fajardo to Icacos Island.

As you pull up to the from the scenic catamaran ride to the island, the water goes from vivid blue to bright teal – a breathtaking sight to see in the Caribbean!

Your tour should ensure that you have ample time to soak in the sun, explore the underwater wonders and even enjoy water activities.

Amenities on the island

Well, there really aren’t any! Instead of restrooms and restaurants, you’ll see coastal forests, sand dunes and beaches! You’ll need to rely on your catamaran for a restroom and food.

Oh, and make sure you bring the proper beach gear with you – list is below!

Lunch during your tour

Your lunch or food options will vary based on the tour you select . From seafood wraps and tropical fruits to deli meats and alcoholic beverages, there’s a variety of items served on the tour boats and catamarans.

Pro tip: being out in the sun is dehydrating. Remember to drink water and reapply the mineral sunscreen !

Oh, and if you’re prone to motion sickness, be sure to get a full belly so it doesn’t get worse.

Can I swim at Cayo Icacos?

Of course! Icacos Island boasts unspoiled, powdery white-sand beaches and is surrounded by vibrant turquoise waters. So swim until your heart is content! Just be sure to watch for other boats and large waves.

And while most destinations I recommend water shoes , Icacos Puerto Rico isn’t one of them! Similar to Flamenco Beach in Culebra , the luxurious soft sand under toe is amazing!

You’ll want plenty of reef-safe sunblock , a beach hat and rash guard to protect yourself from the sun, though. More recommended items to pack, below.

Note: during the summer months you’ll see some sargassum (seaweed) in the area. This is common across the Caribbean!

Snorkeling at Icacos Island

The island is surrounded by vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life. Whether you’re an experienced snorkeler or a novice, the opportunity to explore the underwater wonders of Icacos amongst the best snorkeling in Puerto Rico.

Your catamaran will have to transport you from the swimming area to the snorkeling area, which is just a few minutes’ drive away. Full day tours will allow you to spend 30 – 90 minutes of snorkeling , complete with all the necessary gear.

The crystal-clear waters provide visibility that allows you to witness the kaleidoscope of colors beneath the surface at Cayo Icacos.

For those new to snorkeling, fear not; the tour provides equipment and guidance, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all skill levels.

My group saw many fish and colorful reef. Remember the reef-safe mineral sunblock to continue to protect our oceans, reef and marine life!

Tips for visiting one of the best islands in Puerto Rico

Icacos Island Puerto Rico from a distance with boats and island plus teal water

The journey to the island, soaking in the beautiful scenery on the island and snorkeling through the reef provides such a sense of adventure! Here are a few more tips to help ensure your day goes smoothly.

  • Icacos Island is busy. It’s not exactly a hidden gem anymore, with a dozen or more boats coming daily. Although you’ll want to step onto an unspoiled island, surrounded by the beauty of nature, consider the other 100 people that will want to do the same.
  • Take advantage of water activities! Whether your tour offers a slide, floatables or sun umbrellas and loungers, you paid for it so be sure to enjoy it!
  • Use a dry bag during your day. Catamarans are wet places so to ensure your towel, phone and money doesn’t get wet, keep them in a dry bag.
  • Motion sickness medication is your friend.  If you get queasy while boating or snorkeling, then grab your  motion sickness remedy  or whatever you need to help you feel your best while on this trip!
  • Leave no trace.  It’s often used in hiking and outdoorsy travel, but it’s so important to leave this island with zero evidence that you were there.  Don’t bring back sand or rocks, don’t disturb vegetation or marine life and definitely no littering.
  • Don’t touch or stand on coral.  One single fingerprint can kill coral from the oils on your fingers. This fragile ecosystem has a lot to contend with already. Don’t touch or step on coral here, or anywhere in the world’s oceans.

What to pack for the day

As promised, here are the beach essentials you’ll need for your time in Cayo Icacos…

  • Ocean-safe mineral sunblock.  Chemicals in traditional sunblocks kill our reefs and are harmful to marine life. Use  mineral sunscreen  when at Icacos Puerto Rico (or any other beach for that matter!)
  • Sun hat  or  rash guard .  Minimize how much sunscreen you use and the time it takes to apply it, cover your skin with a sun hat and/or rash guard. They even make  rash guards with swimming suits that are super cute.
  • Underwater camera.  Capture photos of you and/or your loved ones in the water, not to mention all the amazing fish and reef!  This is the GoPro I used at the island, and so many other places, like discovering the best things to do in Kihei Maui. Don’t forget the  float strap accessory !
  • Dry bag.   If you want to take your phone, a  power bank  or even extra  GoPro batteries , use a dry bag! I have  this dry bag  in orange and it’s the perfect size to carry by itself or to place inside a beach bag.
  • Beach to wel. Most tours don’t offer beach towels because they’re towing the other essentials like food, drinks and snorkel gear. I love this quick drying beach towel with a hidden pocket for your cell phone, cash or keys.
  • Hair care. Protect your hair from the salt water and windy boat. Bring leave-in conditioner , comb or other essentials with you.
  • Cash for tip. While you’ll pay for the food and tour in advance, don’t forget to tip your tour guides! A 10% tip is customary for this type of thing in Puerto Rico.
  • Travel insurance. Literally anything can happen while you’re on vacation! Take travel insurance with you on your trip to Puerto Rico and Icacos Island.

Icacos – A Secluded Island Paradise

Icacos Island

Icacos is a small island off of the east coast of PR. It has a nice beach, with white sand and beautiful crystal clear water. An Island Paradise!

When family visits, this is a day trip they always want to do. Of course you can visit the island for a short while on one of the catamaran snorkel trips which will supply you with everything you need for a day of fun. But if you have all the supplies needed for a beach day and like to spend the day and explore on your own, a water taxi ride over might be for you! That is what we do almost all the time we go and we always use Captain Mingo with Punta Brava water taxi.

We recently went to Icacos for a day of quiet beach time and snorkeling. The boat ride took us only about 10-12 minutes from the boat launch in Kayak Village. It was a bit windy, but the trip was not bad at all – very few hard bumps or splashes. It is easier in smoother seas, and it is always calmer on the way back! Before dropping us on the island, Mingo knew we wanted to snorkel, so he took us to a snorkel spot and we all jumped in while he waited for us on the boat.

When we decided we had snorkeled enough, we got back on the boat and the Captain showed us a few other snorkel spots we could do from the shore and then dropped us off. He also let us borrow some swim noodles! We set a time for a pick up and we set up our spot for the day. This is the beach where the snorkel boats dock for a few hours, so it is a little busy for a while, but eventually, they all leave and we had the beach area almost all to ourselves! Locals with boats tend to dock on either side of the beach area, which is roped off for swimming, so it leaves a nice open space for enjoying the beach. The sand was white (bits of coral and shells), the water was clear and blue, and we had just little waves lapping the sand. It has a nice sandy beach area. The captain gave us the tip: Stay on the sand if bare-footed. If you go into the foliage, you will step on lots on sand burrs.

Icacos Island

There used to be more sand along the shorelines in either direction from the beach area, but the hurricane took that away. But you can still reach the snorkel reef and other areas to explore by walking along the shoreline. Depending on the weather and current, it may be safe to go out and around, beyond where the boat snorkelers have killed the reef. If you are good swimmers, you can get to areas that are healthy and have all sorts of animals. We saw sting rays and octopus, and lots of little fishes and a number of large schools of fishes. The coral was alive and there were many different varieties. But if the weather/current isn’t good, don’t try it! After our lunch, we went for a walk, further exploring the island. We found an area of water grass were conch hang out- we were able to find some live ones and many neat shells of dead ones. There was also an area with tidal pools that I bet kids would love to splash around in. There is even a way to get to the other side of the island! Once done exploring, we cooled off in the water. Mingo showed up right at our agreed upon time to take us back to the dock. Where he docks at Kayak Village there are bathrooms and showers. So we cleaned up and were all set to go to dinner. All in all a great day!

There is nothing on this island, so you need to be self sufficient and bring whatever you need/want for a beach day. We had packed towels, lunch and beverages, shade tent, sunscreen, bug spray and sturdy shoes and a drone. And bring a trash bag to take your garbage back with you. The beach was relatively clean, but it could use a cleanup – some trash washes in with the tides, and some people don’t care and leave their trash behind after their visit. There are no facilities on this little island.

When we last went, prices were about $60 round trip/pp. Prices vary by the number of people in the group, where you go and how long you stay with the boat. Mingo takes payment at the end of the trip – so you know he will be back to pick you up at the end of the day! I know on of the boats has an online payment system you book ahead of time. You choice.

If you're happy, let them know it — Don't forget to tip your your bartender, tour guide or trip operator if you enjoyed yourself. Gratuities are appreciated and typically aren't included in the price they charge you.

7 days/week. Call to set up your times.

Allow 5 hours minimum. But you set the times you want to come and go.

phone: We have always used Captain Mingo with his bright yellow boat Punta Brava. 787-383-6509. He does not have facebook or a webpage, just call…he is fully bilingual. We felt he was very good – he called to reconfirm our reservation, and was very flexible about dates and times of pick-up and drop-off. And he is an authorized tour operator for the islands. Tell him you heard about him from Gwenn and Ray!

Other water taxis: Other Taxi Boat Operators East Coast Water Taxi (787) 518 8337 Sea Promotions PR 787-645-2247 Cariduro Water Taxi (787) 562-4226 Other captains that may be available: Mandibula Water Taxi (787) 909-0226 Captain Domingo 787-299-2830 Captain Reynaldo 787-562-4226 Don Julio Boat Charters 787-435-6675 or email at [email protected]

Capt Mingo and most of the water taxis go to “Kayak Village” by Las Croabas.

From Route 3 take Ave. El Conquistador (follow the signs to El Conquistador resort). When you get to the “tee” in front the of the resort, turn left onto Road 987 and follow it almost all the way to Las Croabas.(The is currently a detour up the hill after the waterpark/food truck park, once over the hill, Kayak Village is to the left). On the left side you will see Kayak Village. There are bathrooms and showers and plenty of parking. Just walk to the boat dock, Mingo has the yellow boat.

It takes about 45 minutes to drive there from Ri­o Grande. Would be about 1.25 hr from SJ.
