Group Reef, Beach and Sandbar Tour

Description

Embark on a captivating journey along the stunning north shore of Providenciales. This tour offers the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty — from vibrant coral reefs to secluded beaches with native Rock Iguanas and ending at a breathtaking Sandbar.

Tour Highlights

Snorkel at the Barrier Reef: Dive into the underwater world of the Turks & Caicos Islands, where colorful coral reefs and an abundance of marine life await. With crystal-clear visibility, you’ll have the chance to spot the usual residents like Snappers, Groupers, Sergeant Majors, Trigger fish, Barracuda, Needle fish and sometimes Sharks, Rays and Turtles along with sea fans, tube sponges, barrel sponges, flamingo tongue snails, tunnels, ledges and corals. Leeward Reef is part of the Turks and Caicos Barrier reef network which is the third largest barrier reef system in the world (in water snorkelling time is usually approx 45 mins)

Guided Snorkeling: Your experienced guide will ensure your safety while providing fascinating insights into the marine life you encounter, ensuring you make the most of your snorkeling adventure.

Rock Iguana Encounter: After your snorkeling adventure, cruise to Half Moon Bay or (if sea conditions don’t permit) to Little Water Cay. Here, you’ll encounter a large population of native rock iguanas in their natural habitat. Stroll along the picturesque beaches or take a guided walk to learn about the island’s unique ecosystem and the history of its fascinating inhabitants. The area is home to a large population of Native Rock Iguanas and is surrounded by a series of sandbars, creating a serene shallow lagoon at the rear. As you walk along the lagoon, your guides will share the story of how the sandbar was formed and provide insights into the local history and the surrounding environment. Along the way, keep an eye out for baby turtles, baby sharks, bonefish, barracuda, mojarra, and, on occasion, rays and flamingos, making this walk an unforgettable nature experience. Alternatively you can simply relax on the beach or swim in the shallows. If we stop at Little Water Cay instead of Half Moon Bay the National Trust may charge a separate admission fee, see website for details (https://turksandcaicosnationaltrust.com/little-water-cay/). Such a tour is optional.

Scenic Beach Cruise & Sandbar Stop: Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins and seabirds as we cruise along untouched limestone cays and dramatic coastal cliffs until we reach near Sand Dollar Cove, and the breathtaking sandbar between Fort George Cay and Pine Cay. Wade in the shallow, crystal-clear waters, hunt for shells and snap the perfect social media photo.

Fresh Lunch & Open Bar Onboard: Fresh fruits are served after snorkelling and sandwiches are provided towards the end of the tour after beach time. For the morning tour this will be around lunch time but for the afternoon tour, sandwiches are served after snorkelling. An open bar is available after snorkelling.
