Icacos Island (Cayo Icacos) Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit Icacos Island in 2026?

While it’s free to visit Icacos Island, the only way to get there is by boat, and many travelers opt to join a tour rather than organize their own transport. Day trips to Icacos Island, including round-trip transport by catamaran or water taxi, start around US$100 per person.

Q: Is Culebra or Icacos better?

That depends. If you want more tourist facilities—including restaurants, hotels, and shops, then Culebra is your choice. Icacos, on the other hand, is smaller and more off the beaten path, so it's great for those seeking a more remote island experience. Both have great beaches and offer excellent snorkeling opportunities.

Q: How do you get to Icacos Island?

You can get to Icacos Island by boat from either Fajardo or San Juan in Puerto Rico. Choose from a water taxi or an organized day tour. If you travel to the Las Croabas port in Fajardo, you can get a boat that takes you directly to Icacos Island.

Q: Is Icacos good for snorkeling?

Yes, Icacos Island is fantastic for snorkeling. The island can only be reached by boat, and the ocean around it is home to colorful coral reefs, fish, sea turtles, and crustaceans. For ease, lots of travelers choose a snorkeling day trip with equipment provided, as well as lunch on the boat.

Q: How long is the boat ride from Fajardo to Icacos?

It takes around 15–20 minutes to travel by boat from Fajardo to Icacos Island. You can catch a water taxi from Las Croabas in Fajardo, and these are usually scheduled every 30 minutes throughout the day. You can also book a private boat charter or go on an organized tour.

Q: Can you kayak to Icacos Island?

Yes, it’s technically possible to kayak to Icacos Island from Fajardo. However, it’s not recommended due to the distance and the choppy, open water conditions. Instead, it’s best to go on an organized snorkeling tour that involves a boat trip to get to Icacos Island.

Great way to experience the island!

We loved it! Everyone was super friendly and helpful. It was a really great, low-key way to experience the island. Our week in Puerto Rico was full of red flag beach days, so it was extra nice to get in the water and snorkel. The reef just off the shore had a bunch of fish that were easy to see. Great time!
