Detailed itinerary

1
Stop 1

Board our power catamaran for your snorkelling and beach adventure and make yourself comfortable as we set out on one of the most fun adventures available in Turks & Caicos. You will be picked up on Grace Bay Beach and then cruise along the North Coast of Providenciales, enjoying the views while relaxing on the Catamaran. We will head out to the Barrier Reef for our snorkel stop. Follow one of our experienced local guides on one of the most beautiful guided snorkel tours as we snorkel and explore the Leeward Reef, one of the healthiest living reefs in the Atlantic. You will see the usual residents like Snappers, Groupers, Sergeant majors, Trigger fish, Barracuda, Needle fish and sometimes Sharks Rays and Turtles. Leeward Reef is part of the Turks and Caicos Barrier reef network which is the third largest barrier reef system in the world.

Our guides will take you ashore and take you on a nature tour, a guided walking tour of this natural sandbar. This area which is home to a large family of Native Rock Iguanas, is surrounded by a series of sandbars resulting in a shallow lagoon area at the back. Our guides will take you for a walk along the lagoon, explain to you how the sandbar was formed and give you a bit more information about the area, history of the islands etc. During this part of the nature walk guides will point out baby turtles, baby sharks, bonefish, barracuda, mojarra and sometimes rays and flamingoes. Whilst guests take the nature tour those not interested in wildlife can happily swim or enjoy relaxed walks on the beautiful beach. Lunch is a selection of deli sandwiches, chips and salsa, fresh fruits and an open bar including beers, rum punch, mixed drinks, soft drinks and bottled water.

Stop 3

We do not usually stop at both Little Water Cay and Half Moon Bay. The location chosen is dependent on the weather. Both Islands are home to the native Rock Iguanas but Little Water Cay is where the National Trust operate their guided tours. If you wish to do this tour you will need $10 in cash per person.

4

After the Iguana Island tour we journey a bit further east and cruise along the North coast and cays and stop at one of the beautiful beaches such as Fort George to relax, swim, chill, hunt for shells and Sand Dollars or just roll around in the waves on the sand bars. Alternatively if you want to head out to the shipwreck for some adrenaline fuelled fun, then the choice is yours.

5

La Famille Shipwreck sits a couple of miles offshore has become a popular attraction for cliff-jumpers and explorers alike. This is an optional stop for the adrenaline junkies out there!

6

You will be dropped back off at the same location as you were picked up. Your itinerary is customisable so the above stops are just a guide. Let the Captain know your preferences and he can customise to your wishes. For example, more snorkel stops, you don't want to stop at Iguana Island..... not a problem.
