All inclusive Cayo Icacos catamarans bundle lunch and open bar into the price. Whether that is worth it depends on how you like to spend a beach day.
Quick Answer: An all inclusive Cayo Icacos tour is worth it if you want lunch and drinks handled and plan to enjoy the open bar, since buying separately costs more. If you barely drink, a basic tour saves money. See all inclusive Icacos tours.
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.
