Exclusive Grand Turk Safari
Where Island Life and Wildlife Meet
Discover the untamed beauty of Grand Turk on this exclusive safari experience. Led by local residents, this tour offers a unique opportunity to witness the island’s iconic free-roaming animals — donkeys, horses, cows, goats, and chickens — as they live naturally among the island’s quiet communities.
This guided journey winds through Grand Turk’s residential backroads and scenic routes, where animals are often found grazing near homes or resting in shaded corners known only to locals. Along the way, guests will also visit the historic Grand Turk Lighthouse, the serene salt ponds — home to flamingos and coastal birds — and enjoy panoramic views that reflect the island’s heritage and charm.
As the only island in Turks and Caicos where people still live side by side with wildlife, Grand Turk offers a truly rare experience — one that’s both immersive and unforgettable.

Excellent customer service!

5.00I was unfortunately unable to attend this tour so my review is not about that as much as the communication, promptness and excellent customer service received. I can imagine the execution of the tour would have been as well.
Grand Turk- so so

4.00Great guide! There is not a lot to see on Grand Turk but our guide made it very interesting. We were on a cruise and thought it would be a nice overall view of the island for our entire party, some with limited mobility- which it was.
Fantastic Exclusive Grand Turk Safari & Island Tour!

5.00My husband and I booked the Grand Turk Safari & Island Tour as an excursion for when our ship would be in port on 2/6/26. I booked this tour several months in advance. As stated in the tour description, the meeting place was a short distance from the port and the best route was to follow the beach and walk on the sand. Well, shortly before leaving for our cruise I injured my knee and walking on sand was not an option. And of course I didn't think about this detail until 24 hours before our scheduled tour. I did not want to cancel this tour but wanted to know if they had any suggestions. I reached out to Exclusive Grand Turk Safari & Island Tour, while on the ship via the Viator app, with my concern and they responded almost immediately! Good news! They said they would send a taxi to pick me up at the port's taxi stand. They gave me detailed instructions on where, who and when to meet the driver. I was so happy and impressed! My husband and I met our taxi driver, Trevor, at the taxi stand and he brought us back to the meeting place(the picnic tables on the sand) to pick up the others for the tour. At this location we met Ray. I'm not sure if Ray was the tour company owner, manager, organizer or all of the above but he certainly was a cheerful, welcoming, efficient, knowledgeable young man! Ray got us all organized and sent the group of us(7 or 8 of us?) on our way with taxi driver Trevor, who actually was our tour guide. And Trevor was a fantastic tour guide! Trevor shared so many interesting facts and stories about this tiny beautiful island, and Grand Turk is absolutely stunning! We were each given a bottle of water to quench our thirst and a bag of apples and carrots to feed the donkeys at one of the stops. Trevor gave us instructions on how to feed and navigate the donkeys safely. The van was comfortable and the air conditioning worked great! I can't say enough good things about this tour, it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see and learn about beautiful Grand Turk. Thank you Ray and Trevor!!!
Questionable excursion

2.00Trevor, the tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and understandable. The van used by our group of 6, IMO, was not in a condition that would be considered adequate for use as a tour excursion vehicle. The amount spent for the excursion was not a good value either.
Amazing Tour Company

5.00Ended up being a private tour as others canceled on the day. They honored our reservation and so we ended up with a private tour which was fantastic. The stops were as described, we highly recommend.
