Awesome day

5.00Our family had a great time on this tour. The staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcomed. Watching them pull the conch from the ocean and then making us a salad from it was awesome. My wife is not a swimmer, but she was comfortable with getting into the water up to her waist, and our tour guide was more than helpful to bring the stingray to her so she could feel it on top and bottom. Our weather was perfect and the water was so clear. This was an experience we will never forget. The gentleman who we signed in with in the shack was able to walk us down to the beach and made sure we spoke with the people who rented out the lounge chairs and umbrellas, so that they would be reserved for us once we returned from our trip to spend the rest of the day swimming and relaxing.
I want to go back! Must do excursion!

5.00I am so glad I didn't cancel this excursion. I didn't think it was going to be as eventful as it actually was. The snorkeling was great! Saw lots of schools of fish. The ceviche was so good and the sting rays were so gentle and not afraid to interact with our group. I'm a shell collector and found some to add to my collection. The island we stopped at was nice and clean and the water was pristine! Jay Jay and Kelli were great tour guides and made the tour fun!
Everything lived up to...

5.00Everything lived up to the description plus some! Snorkeling was great with the captain throwing fish food to attract all the tropical fish around us. Stingrays and Conch was also amazing. Expect to learn a lot about the small island of Grand Turk and the wildlife you interact with. Waters were a little rough when we went so if you get seasick be prepared. Amazing service and would def do again.

Best Excursion we had all week on our cruise

5.00What a fabulous time we had with Exclusive Escapes Grand Turk! The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. This tour is so much more personalized than the tour you book from the cruise ship. We ended up being the only four they took out as the other family had an emergency. It turned out to be like our own personal excursion!! They stopped to do a conch dive and my husband and son-in-law got to try it as well, something the cruise ship tour did not offer on their tour. My husband even got down to the bottom around 40 feet and got a conch!! We got a demonstration with the conch on the small island, which the cruise ship tour did not offer and their people came over to watch our tour guides. Our tour company waited for the cruise ship tour of 50 or so people to have their turn with the stingrays (which was not much time as there were so many people who wanted a chance to hold a stingray) and leave before our time with the stingrays. We were the only people left on the island, so we got a lot of time experiencing the stingrays and getting pictures, it was incredible!! I would highly recommend booking a tour with Exclusive Escapes over the tour offered on cruise ships. They guarantee you will be back before your ship leaves or else they have to pay to fly you to the next island the ship is going to. Trust me, they don't want to have to do that so there is not concern on missing the ship. You will get a much better experience and so much more time with the Stingrays with Exclusive Escapes Grand Turk, you will not be disappointed, it was the best experience we had all week.
THIS is the stingray tour you need!

5.00Our party of 4 missed the booking on our ship so I asked my agent what stingray tour should I do and they highly recommended this one. I booked it and am sooooo glad we did! Capt JJ and Ray were literally the best to take us! We could not have asked for a better time! The knowledge they had of the ocean and the island was incredible! Plus they were THE best hosts! Funny does not even begin to cover their personalities! We enjoyed the boat ride to the snorkel area where my husband wanted to get in (but he is not a great swimmer) JJ and Ray both spotted it immediately and went over to keep him calm. It was awesome to watch. They stopped the boat to pick up trash in the ocean! Love that! They told us that this is their playground and have to keep it clean! Then they free dove 30 feet to get conchs for us! It was amazing! We headed to Gibbs Cay for the stingrays and they made our ride so fun! The stingray stop along with the schooling of the conchs made that stop that much better. JJ picked up “one of his girls” as he stated. Her name was Sara. She was a beautiful stingray that just wanted to hang out in his lap. It was precious! We got to touch her and love on her while she was carefully cared for by JJ. Ray prepared our conch salad and gosh it was amazing. The ride back we danced and drank some punch and had the best time! Truly two of the best guys you’ll ever meet! We are so happy to have been with them for the day! Sad to see how many people did not tip them in the end though. We did!!!! They deserved every bit! Thank you again JJ and Ray for making our day in Grand Turk the best day! You guys rock!!
Loved this excursion!

5.00They did a wonderful job! Will definitely recommend to everyone! It was a wonderful excursion to do and the staff were so friendly. They even made sure you captured great pictures to remember your adventure! Loved the small crowd and the price was well worth it, and the length of time was good. I just wish it was even longer because it was such a great atmosphere and adventure!
What a great excursion!

5.00The trip was a great experience! The lady who greeted us was very professional, reassuring re the slight rain delay, patiently answered the same questions from each customer as if it was the first time she had heard the question, always smiled, exuded calm, and delivered on everything she promised. The boat captain was also excellent. The boat was in great shape; fast & powerful. We started with a dive at the Reef's "wall", where we had plenty of time to enjoy the fish and reef after a safety briefing. All equipment we might need was provided. He and his mate worked seamlessly to anchor the boat when we arrived at Gibbs Cay, where we enjoyed conch harvested from the sea on the way. You can't get any fresher than that. The captain knew loads about the anatomy and uses of conch, answering our questions in an educational and entertaining way. He also was expert at handling the local sting rays, providing us an opportunity to touch one, while keeping it in the water and calm, but only after telling us how to safely approach the sting ray. Water and rum punch was included. He and his first mate made conch ceviche on the beach in front of us; it was delicious. We were the only people on the beach. It was beautiful and great fun. He effortlessly customized the experience to the variety of ages and personalities on the boat. I HIGHLY recommend this excursion.
PERFECT!
