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. *All timings are approximate, in water snorkelling time is usually approx 45 mins
Half Moon Bay
We do not stop at both Little Water Cay and Half Moon Bay. The location chosen is dependent on the weather. At Half Moon Bay 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. Alternatively you can simply relax on the beach or swim in the shallows.

Highly recommended even if you don't snorkel

5.00Very fun trip even though we didn't get to extend the sails. The captain and crew were great ensuring we had a safe and enjoyable time and that all our needs were catered to. Some of us snorkeled, some didn't, all had a blast. The guided tour around Half Moon Bay was an unexpected hit. It was beautiful and the iguanas were very cool! After snorkeling they opened up the bar and we enjoyed lunch, cocktails and beers, but I wouldn't call this a booze/party cruise if that's what you're looking for. Very family friendly and great music at just the right volume.
Great tour!!

2.00Would NOT RECOMMEND! The overall experience was well coordinated, however the snorkeling was very short — only like 30 min of the overall experience. Also, while one of the two interactive crew members was friendly, the other old crew member, the bartender, was extremely rude and grouchy. At the beginning of the tour we asked which reef we were going to and he mocked the question and snubbed us. Then before we were going to one of the beaches, they announced that we could take drinks onto the beach. When my friend went to ask the bartender if he could top off his drink, the man berated him and said he had no manners. It was honestly bizarre. The guy is like bipolar or something.
So much fun!

5.00It was a wonderful time-the team on Ocean Vibes were fantastic-I would suggest the guys should review basic snorkeling techniques with mask and snorkel prior to getting to the reef for those who are inexperienced. Great day overall! Good vibes-great times-beautiful locations!
Best Day Ever

5.00Snorkeling tour with Captain Arington and his crew was more than I ever dreamed. The crew took us to what I can only assume are the exclusive hangout spots for marine celebrities! Fish were everywhere, sea turtles casually gliding by like they own the place and we even got to watch the dolphins scratch their backs on our boat. They also took us to Half Moon Cay where the iguanas were posing like they knew we’d be taking pictures. The crew not only were top-tier guides, but they also doubled as chefs, bartenders, hype squad, and all-around good vibe coordinators. They kept the drinks flowing like we were at a floating beach club and made sure no one went hungry. By the end of it, I wasn’t sure if I should leave a review or nominate them for the “Best Day Ever” award. 10/10 would absolutely trust them again with my life, my lunch, and my beverage schedule!
Beautiful
