5.00I did the sunset kayaking tour in Grand Turk with my sister and it was honestly such a beautiful experience. The views were unreal—the sky changing colors over the water made it feel so peaceful and special. It was the perfect mix of relaxing and fun. The director was super helpful, friendly, and made us feel comfortable the whole time. Everything was well organized, and you could tell they really care about making it a great experience for us. Definitely worth it if you’re visiting Grand Turk. I would 100% do it again!
Fun in the sea! 🌊🐠

5.00We had such an amazing time on our glass boat tour with Aquatic Escapes! 🌊🐠 My boyfriend, the kids, and I all loved every minute of it. The tour guide was super professional, really informative, and had us laughing the whole time. You can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do, which made the experience even better. The owner came along on the tour too, and they were just as friendly and welcoming—such great energy all around! Seeing the ocean life through the glass was so fun and interesting for the kids (and us too 😄). It was the perfect mix of relaxing and exciting. We would 100% do this again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun family activity! 💙
An enjoyable experience better enjoyed in Spring through Fall.

4.00The tour was fine and the drivers and boat driver were very nice. The clear boat was a new experience. Not anyone's fault, but we didn't see much interesting during the tour. That is the ocean - you can't predict when there will be wildlife present. The tour guide did say there is more wildlife in the summer and early fall - we toured in December. I thought the price was a little high for the type of boat ride the tour included.
Worth checking into. Beautiful mangroves and crystal clear waters. Great for couples or small family group.

4.00This was our first trip to Grand Turks. Family trip with two teenagers. We enjoyed the glass bottom boat tour, and would recommend it. We did have a little trouble finding the meeting point just outside of the cruise port gates, but our host, Compton, was polite, courteous, and a great and informative island guide. The boat ride all over the mangroves was beautiful. We weren’t able to see much marine life, but the guides were open that (like most open water tours) they can’t guarantee what life will or won’t be coming through at the time. The tour on the water was a little over an hour. Overall it was a fun adventure.
Absolutely Incredible Experience!

5.00I can't recommend this kayak business enough! From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and super fun. The equipment was in top-notch condition, the location was beautiful, and the owner clearly puts a lot of care into making sure everyone has a safe and memorable time on the water. Whether you're a beginner or more experienced, this is the perfect place to enjoy kayaking. We had an amazing day exploring, relaxing, and even spotting some wildlife. The customer service was outstanding — friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable about the area. I had to come back and brought friends with me this time. If you're looking for a fun and refreshing outdoor activity, this is it!
Relaxed ,informative and helpful

5.00Although a little difficult finding the connection ( which was resolved quickly by communicating) we meet two wonderful young men , Compton and Captain Hasani, who were very helpful and informative. Not only did we have experience the waters, where we saw a turtle and a sting ray and other aquatic life,but also learned much about the island. We enjoyed ourselves

5.00Had a great time with aquatic escapes, the clear boat provided such a beautiful scenery of the under water world. The boat ride was slow and sweet to embrace the surrounding nature of turtles, bird life, the mangroves and beautiful clear water. The crew at aquatic escapes provides safety and fun. Book yours today!

1.00I had a paid ticket for a 9:00 am Glass Boat Mangrove Tours Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos Islands on Sunday August 18 when I left on my cruise on August 16. When we arrived at the appointed meeting point (taxi stand at cruise port) there was no one from the excursion provider (Aquatic Escapes) to meet us. The people at the taxi stand suggested we look on the beach for Aquatic Escapes and we did so. There was an Aquatic Escapes excursion there, but not the Glass Boat Mangrove tour. We went back to the taxi stand and a kindly official lent us his cellphone to contact the tour and at that time I was told our tour had been canceled and that they would again offer the tour in October. Spent over an hour of frustration in the hot sun and disappointment.
