Turks & Caicos · GRACE BAY REEF SNORKELING TRIPS
27 reviewed
The barrier reef sits close enough to Grace Bay that most boats are anchored over coral inside twenty minutes. These are the snorkeling trips worth the fare: which ones run half days and which fill a morning, how many stops you get, what gear is included, and which handle nervous swimmers and small children well.

“Second time doing this tour. JJ and Adam were amazing. We had a full boat and the guys did a great job of taking care of us. Adam guided an amazing snorkel tour. JJ was super fun and played great music while guiding us around. My daughter said she wanted to go see turtles so he took us to a spot to see them. Rum Punch and sodas were great and appreciated. Lunch was ok, dry sandwiches but that didn’t put a damper on the day. I highly recommend this. It’s a great day.”

Luxury half-day snorkel sail from the Ritz-Carlton in Providenciales, with Barrier Reef fish, picnic lunch, open bar, and beach time.
“This was a 10/10 excursion. If you're looking into booking a boat ride/ snorkel go for the luxury catamaran. The boat was great, there was a full open bar, two (clean) bathrooms on board and a great lunch spread that was served to us. Due to the hurricane/ rough conditions we couldn't snorkel at the reef. The captain was very apologetic and took us to snorkel at the mangroves and Nosh's ark. The current there was also very strong, but nowhere near as bad as the reef- so the captain definitely made the right call. We then went to iguana island, which was stunning. From the crew, the service snd…”

“We had an excellent snorkel tour with Captain Vasco and shipmate Kelly. They took care of us and insured our safety throughout the day. The snorkeling was wonderful in the clear water of Grand Turk. We saw many fish of different sizes colors and kinds. Kelly found a conch on the bottom and later made a tasty ceviche when we stopped on an uninhabited island. We were able to touch and even hold stingrays that came near our beached boat. This was a memorable snorkel experience and the best tour that we took from our cruise ship. I would schedule it again if we were ever to visit grand Turk…”
