What all inclusive means here
An all inclusive Cayo Icacos catamaran bundles the sail, snorkel gear, lunch on board, and an open bar into one price, usually $120 to $150 per person.
When it is worth it
If you plan to eat on board and enjoy a few drinks, the bundle beats buying separately. There is nowhere to buy food or drinks on the uninhabited cay, so packing it in is convenient.
When a basic tour is enough
If you barely drink and prefer to bring your own snacks, a basic snorkel or beach tour without the open bar saves money. Just confirm you can bring a cooler.
What to check
- The lunch menu, hot meal versus sandwiches
- What the open bar includes, brands or generic
- Whether snorkel gear is part of the package
- Group size, since all inclusive party boats can be crowded
The verdict
For most travelers who want a relaxed, handled beach day, the all inclusive tour is worth it. Light drinkers on a budget can skip it for a basic tour.
