A Short, Scenic Hike
Groups can take an optional, roughly 45‑minute hike ashore led by the crew, adding a compact landward perspective to an otherwise water‑centric day.
Beach Time and Shade
For those who prefer to unwind, the package lets you spend the day sunbathing or resting under shelter on Icacos—turning the trip into a relaxed beach day as much as an active outing.
