Where the boats leave from
All Cayo Icacos tours depart from Villa Marina Fajardo or Puerto del Rey Marina, both in Fajardo on the east coast, 50 minutes east of San Juan and 20 minutes from Luquillo.
Option 1: Rental car (recommended)
Drive PR-26 east to PR-3 south to Fajardo. Easy 50 minute drive, marina parking $5 to $10 a day. Best for flexibility and combining with El Yunque or the bio bay.
Option 2: Rideshare or taxi
Uber and Lyft run $60 to $80 each way from San Juan to Fajardo. Taxis cost more. Practical if you do not want to drive but expensive round trip.
Option 3: Tour with hotel pickup
Some operators offer round trip transport from San Juan resorts for $30 to $50 per person. Convenient with no car. Pickup is around 7:30 to 8 am.
