The Short Answer

What's the Best Time of Day to Visit Icacos?

Most charters to Cayo Icacos depart in the morning, and there's good reason for that: the water around the island tends to be calmer earlier in the day, and winds often pick up as the afternoon goes on. Getting an early start also means arriving before the island gets as busy, since more boats tend to show up as the day goes on, especially on weekends and holidays. None of this means an afternoon trip isn't enjoyable too — it's still a great destination any time of day — but if calm water and a quieter island matter to your group, an earlier departure is the better bet.
