The experience begins with snorkeling at a single designated reef site, selected by the captain based on real-time sea conditions to provide optimal visibility and safety. This reef stop features coral formations and marine life representative of Grand Turk’s surrounding waters.
Following the snorkeling portion, the tour continues to Gibbs Cay—an uninhabited island known for its powdery white sand and shallow turquoise flats—where guests can enjoy time in the water alongside stingrays that naturally inhabit the area.
Along the way, guests may observe the captain free diving for live conch. Upon arrival at Gibbs Cay, our team will conduct a live conch demonstration and prepare fresh conch salad to enjoy.

Unfortunately our cruise ship was unable to dock at Grand Turk due to high winds. I messaged the tour company to inform them and then communicated directly with Viator to request a refund. Viator quickly requested a refund from the company on my behalf, and once it was confirmed that the ship never docked I received the refund. This process took about six hours.

This snorkeling trip was absolute well worth it and a highlight of our trip to grand Turks! The staff were very friendly and informative. We were in the water for the perfect amount of time, and saw many different fish. The conch diving was extremely impressive and the ceviche was delicious. My favorite part was the visit to Gibbs Kay - the little remote island was stunning and the sting rays were so cool.

The highlight of the tour was swimming with the sting rays. Crew was great, Ceviche was delicious! Felt very safe, the crew kept a close watch on all the passengers while snorkeling- was a windy day and water was choppy! Definitely use the inflatable vest while snorkeling, so you can really enjoy the experience!

Amazing activity. Saw tons of fish snorkeling at the Great Wall, had plenty of time. Then went to Gibbs Cay, basically your own beautiful beach. Sting Rays swam right up to us. Kids loved it. Captains brought great energy and excitement. They wanted us to have fun.

This tour was amazing! I highly recommend this tour.. The water was Crystal clear. The snorkeling was vibrant. The rays were magical. The ceviche was delicious. The boat captain was knowledgeable and handled an unexpected emergency situation that arose with calmness and efficiency which may have saved a person's life on the boat. I can't recommend them enough!!!!

Incredible tour. Locals and privately owned business. Only 17 or 18 on our tour and very personalized. Great Snorkeling and then a trip where 2 folks dive for Conch. They brought up a few then we continued to Gibbs Cay (small island) spent some time on the beach and mingled with the stingrays in shallow water. They made us fresh Conch ceviche. Wow. Would absolutely recommend this tour and operator / business. Much more in depth and personal than the overcrowded cruise ship tours.

The local guides were amazing and did a fabulous job explaining the culture and history of Grand Turks. We felt well cared for and enjoyed the smaller group compared to the other bigger snorkeling excursions. The guides diving for conch was incredible, and our kids loved being up close and personal to the stingrays.

It looked a little sketchy at first, off a ways from the cruise ship dock -- nobody else heading in the same direction, but when we got there (the second to last party), we had a great group of people already to go. They divided us into two groups of 16. We waited while our first mate dove and caught the conchs (for fresh ceviche later), then we had a great 45-minute snorkel in the warm, clear Caribbean water. I only wish they had some sort of "fish chart" to help us identify all the beautiful fish we saw! The rum punch was tasty after the snorkel, then we pulled up to a quiet beach to relax while our first mate made our conch ceviche. We enjoyed the sting ray encounter with "Gypsy" (my husband got to kiss her!), and loved the time on the beach as well. The ceviche was so fresh and tasted great. The ride back went quickly and we were sad to end our adventure. I'd recommend for anyone to try!
