Detailed itinerary

Meet La Famille Express. This is a Soviet-built ship from 1953 that ended up stranded off Providenciales during Hurricane Frances in 2004. Originally used for oil rig support, then cargo runs in the Caribbean, she now rests on a shallow sandbar in the Caicos Banks. She surrounded by clear blue water and tons of marine life. A favorite stop on our tours!

Snap your shots from the boat, though; she’s not safe to climb.

Stop 2

Little Water Cay, just off the coast of Providenciales, is home to the endangered Rock Iguana, found only in Turks and Caicos. That’s why locals call it Iguana Island! ️

It’s a peaceful nature reserve with boardwalks, soft white sand, and clear shallow waters. Please spot the wildlife without disturbing their habitat. We love stopping here on our tours to learn a little, explore a lot, maybe make a few scaly friends while also having a beach BBQ.

Keep your camera ready, these iguanas are very photogenic!
