Beautiful Trip with Great Energy & A Few Areas for Improvement
Overall, the Icacos Snorkeling and Beach Trip with East Island Excursions was a wonderful way to spend the day! The atmosphere on board was lively, the staff were upbeat and professional, and the energy from the crew really set the tone for a fun and relaxing experience.
The boat ride itself was smooth and enjoyable, and the destination, Icacos, is absolutely beautiful! The beach was stunning, with crystal-clear water and soft sand that made it a true island escape. Snorkeling was a highlight, we had the chance to see some really amazing fish up close, which added a fun and memorable touch to the adventure!
Also, I have to give credit where it’s due, the music playlist on board was phenomenal! It created the perfect vibe and added even more energy to an already fun day.
That said, there are a couple of small areas where I think the experience could be even better. Some of the snorkel gear I received was slightly defective, which made it a bit difficult to fully enjoy the snorkeling portion of the trip. I’m not one to complain in the moment, as I like to be fully present and soak in the experience, but I wanted to share this feedback in a constructive way. A quick equipment check beforehand could really elevate the experience for future guests.
Also, while I appreciated that lunch was provided, the sandwich meat could have been of better quality. The fruit was great and there should definitely be more. The bread was delicious, soft and fresh, but the overall lunch offering felt a bit underwhelming, especially compared to how well everything else was handled.
Lastly, if possible, I think extending the beach and snorkeling time would make the trip feel even more complete.
That said, I still had a great time and would absolutely recommend this tour, especially for anyone looking to relax, swim, and soak up the sun in beautiful surroundings. With just a few tweaks, this could easily become a grand slam, knock-out the park, five-star experience.
