Snorkeling at the Grand Turks

5.00We had a great time with Vasco and his crew. He took us snorkeling (so many colorful fish), fixed conch salad for us, and took us to a private island where we got to swim with sting rays. Would do this tour again.
Waterless, land locked

1.00You must be able to walk in sand to the small boat unassisted. I am in need of assistance because I have a lot of walking issues, I use crutches. But put me in the water & I turn into a fish. I was not allowed to go so they owe me money for a unused trip.

5.00My family of 4 enjoyed this excursion in Grand Turk. I will say that the upgrade to stop at Gibbs Bay made the trip, it would have been a bit disappointing without that. Snorkeling was great with beautiful water and plenty of fish, but we were only there about 30 minutes and there were several other big boats. The stop at Gibbs Bay gave us a bit quieter time at a beautiful beach, with opportunities to swim, snorkel, or just sit on the sand. The crew from checkin to our captain and first mate, were great and took good care of everyone. I would definitely recommend this group to anyone stopping at Grand Turk.

5.00I highly recommend that anyone visiting Grand Turk sign up for this adventure! The guides are extremely knowledgeable about the island's history, and the entire operation easily placed Grand Turk as my family's #1 destination in the Caribbean. All the people, from the desk to the captains, made this incredibly enjoyable for us, and they definitely know the best areas to take people interested in exploring the wall. Sign up now!

5.00We were on island this week and joined all the cruise shippers on this early morning tour. Run and operated by a multinational family locals, it was a truly professional and spectacular tour. The Wall is “awe and wonder” underwater. Don’t miss this if you visit Grand Turk. Thank you, Crew 🩵🙏🏿
Bad experience

1.00Not worth the money. The guy with the blonde dread locks was extremely rude and unwelcoming. I would not recommend this tour.
Not worth it book a different boar excursion or something else

1.00I expected more from this excursion. Initially, we had difficulty finding the meeting location, but a very kind lady on the phone assisted us, which we appreciated. Kelly was pleasant and friendly; however, Jason, who asked to be called “Jay,” came across as rude and overly serious. I am not accustomed to being treated this way, and his attitude and frequent smart remarks made the experience uncomfortable. I travel frequently and have been on many tours, including excursions during this same cruise in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas, where we had excellent experiences. This was the first time I have felt disappointed by a tour due to the staff’s behavior. The excursion itself involved taking us to a very small island, which, in my opinion, was not worth the price we paid. Overall, the experience did not meet our expectations

5.00My family had a fabulous time with Exclusive Escapes Grand Turk. Their crew welcomed us aboard their boat, provided snorkeling equipment and a fun, jovial atmosphere for our excursion. We’ve never been to Turks and Caicos before and after this experience we definitely want to come back to spend more time here. Snorkeling in the pristine waters, playing with docile stingrays (even feeding them!) and then enjoying freshly prepared conch salad on a private beach made for an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this quality excursion.
Nothing to See but Dead Reef

2.00The reef is brown and looks dead. There were no fish. The water was turbulent and cold, even with my wet suit on. The boat trip itself - about 1/2 hr each way, was fine. On a previous visit to Grand Turk, we took the semi-submursible submarine, where we also didn't see much. Do a land based excursion!
We didn’t get the wall...

4.00We didn’t get the wall snorkel as they switched to another reef and stingray visit to Gibbs beach. We enjoyed it and it was a longer time.
