Why Icacos suits families

The cay has a long, shallow, calm beach and a gentle reef close to shore. Kids can wade, build sand castles, and try snorkeling in easy water.

Best tour type for kids

Skip the loud party catamarans. A small group catamaran or a private charter gives a calmer ride, more attentive crew, and flexibility for nap and snack times.

Safety basics

  • Life vests for young kids, included on tours
  • Go in the morning for the calmest seas
  • Reef safe sunscreen, hats, and rash guards
  • Water shoes for the rocky beach entry

What to pack

Bring snacks, extra water, towels, and a change of clothes. Tell the operator your kids ages when booking so they prepare gear and seating.

Make the crossing easy

The sail is short and usually calm, but a small motion sickness remedy helps sensitive kids. Sit mid boat where the ride is smoothest.
