Our award winning kayak program has been exploring these waters for more than 20 years. They are ideal for the family, excellent for education and an amazing way to see significant Turks & Caicos marine wildlife; juvenile turtles, rays, juvenile sharks and birds.

The mangrove habitats make up a third of these islands. We love to teach our guests about these unique ecosystems and the important role they play while exploring and paddling through their channels. These tours are an absolute must for everyone visiting these islands.

I’ve done this kayak tour four times. I try and go every time I’m in tci. Bailey was my favorite tour guide yet. Very knowledgeable about all the wildlife. Very patient with kids (and adults lol). My favorite thing about this tour is the mangroves and seeing the baby turtles. We saw so many animals today: turtles, sting ray, osprey, sand pipers, barracuda, herons, cow fish, snapper, upside down jellyfish, needlefish, and a little dog named Luna hahaIguana Island is fun too and a great workout. I very much recommend choosing Big Blue Collective over any other company. They are much more knowledgeable and eco friendly. Book with BBC, you’ll be glad you did. Highly recommended.

We had a large group attend, courtesy of our company, and we very much enjoyed the experience with Mikey. We strive for eco conscious solutions as a company and this tour aligned with our efforts. We saw other companies with fancy clear kayaks being pulled through the mangroves but this is a national park and a very delicate eco system serving as a nursery for wildlife. I appreciated the education from our guide, the turtle sightings, and the workout!!

The tour was excellent. A small group of just 5 people, very nice and experienced tour guide Emily. We saw a lot of turtles, barracudas (small) and iguanas.

We did the two-hour tour with G as our guide. She was professional, friendly, and a good teacher. We saw some young lemon sharks, turtles, and fish while learning about the mangrove ecosystem and its importance. Highly recommended!
