What To Expect
Start your 8-hour island adventure with convenient pickup at your Providenciales lodging. Transfer by comfortable tour vehicle to the tour office at Alexandra Resort, where you'll get fitted for snorkel gear.
Board the boat and cruise along the long, sandy stretch of Grace Bay toward your first snorkeling stop at Leeward Reef.

On Ft George Cay, explore the uninhabited shores while the crew prepare an island-style barbecue lunch, including grilled fish, lobster (in season), chicken, garlic bread, corn and peas n' rice. Sip drinks from the open bar as you chow down.
After lunch, head for Shell Island, where you can beach comb for unusual shells or go snorkeling in search of sand dollars. Your last snorkeling stop is at Pine Cay reef; keep an eye out for giant brain coral, elk head coral and the endangered Hawksbill Sea Turtle.

I HIGHLY recommend this excursion with Caicos dream Tours!!! We did the full day. 8 hours!! So worth it. 2 snorkel locations. Several different islands including Iguana Island, sand bar to look for sand dollars, lunch on a beach. This was outstanding to say the least!!! Grilled lobster, BBQ chicken, corn, rice, bread and fruit. I have eaten lobster 2 times in 2 very nice restaurants while here. This grilled lobster beat both those restaurants. And the restaurant lobster was great. The captain and crew were beyond amazing! Snacks and drinks on the boat. Very very accommodating! If I could give 10 stars I would. Do the full day tour!! It’s so worth it!

Captain pop and his crew were great. Actively searched out whales and dolphins which we got to see both. Food was delicious. Very glad we opted for the full day tour. Would definitely do it again.

Best day trip ever!!! Our boat guides were funny and educational about the area too. The day was magnificent and our lunch on the little island was some of the best food ever cooked for us right there while we played in the water. I will be doing this excursion every time I’m blessed to go back to Turks & Caicos

I would never do business with this company again. Despite clear communication the day before about severe travel delays caused by airspace restrictions and weather, they showed absolutely no compassion or flexibility.
Our flight was delayed over seven hours—we arrived at 8:45 pm instead of 1:30 pm. The airport was flooded, getting our rental car was a nightmare, and when we finally reached our Airbnb at midnight, it was partially flooded and we spent hours cleaning up water. I explained all of this and pleaded to reschedule, especially since they had availability on other days. They refused.
Travel issues happen, but empathy and grace are a choice. Their response was cold and disappointing, and it left us feeling completely dismissed during an already exhausting and stressful situation.

Such an amazing experience! Our tour guides were very fun and knowledgeable of the island. They made sure we felt safe when snorkeling, they cooked us an amazing lobster lunch, they made sure we were always taken care of! I will be doing this excursion every time we go back to Turks.
Christine_C, Jul 2025
Absolutely incredible day! We had so much fun snorkeling and saw so many beautiful fish, barracuda, shark, stingray, dolphins and sea shells! BBQ lunch on the beach was delicious. Our guides really made the day, they were energetic, engaging and fun. Def book for your next trip to Turks and Caicos, you will be so glad you did!

Our family had a fun, full day on the water. The snorkeling was good, iguana island was fun, we found starfish (go out about 4" with your mask), ate lunch with the seagulls, found conch shells and enjoyed the beautiful water. We've done several boat cruises in other countries and I wouldn't put this one at the top for the food. The mains were good, but the sides were so-so. The rum punch is more punch, but that's likely a good thing with folks being in the water & sun all day.

This was absolutely a beautiful and extremely awesome day on the water! The crew was spectacular! Everything we saw was so amazing! The sand bar was so beautiful, enjoyed snorkeling and loved Half moon bay! The lunch prepared was outstanding! Stunning views on the water!
Becky_B, May 2025
I loved that picked us up on the beach in front of our hotel. Crew was super friendly, helpful and checked in on everyone to make sure every need was taken care of. They took us to some amazing places. We saw dolphins, nerf sharks and a lot of fish. It was my favorite day of this trip.
Holly_R, May 2025
The tour was fantastic. Our captain, Shine, was low energy, which for us is fine. But it would have been nice to have a little more information provided about the area around us. The first snorkel stop was fantastic. Amazing reef. We even saw a shark. We also loved our time at Half Moon Bay where the iguanas were. It was beautiful and even better than we could have imagined. After that, the tour kind of went downhill. As we approached other islands we were told to get off the boat and "check things out". We were also told we would be seeing the shipwreck and the tiki bar, but we did not stop at either location. Our captain seemed like he was over it at that point. We were dropped off before 3pm, so I thought we still had time. There was some rain approaching, so maybe that is why we came back. But no explanation was given. The lunch was fantastic. Delicious food and plenty for everyone to eat as much as they wanted.
Overall, we enjoyed our day. However, I could see how it could have been much more enjoyable with a more involved captain.

Very nice day! We were picked up at 820am and returned about 430pm. We arrived at our first location at 930ish to check out the turtles for a minute and then iguana island where we spent 45 walking around. Next we snorkeled at our first spot for about 45 minutes, but feels like 20 unfortunately. Next we arrived at the most beautiful spot for lunch, with warm sandbar waters. Lunch was great! Then headed to a 14ft deep spot to jump off boat or slide. Next we snorkeled at our next spot for about 15 minutes. Overall a good day to explore and see things. You definitely do not snorkel long, which is upsetting, but still cool to see it all for a quick time. JJ and Adam were fun and nice!
Verlinda_D, Mar 2025
It was amazing. The entire crew was very knowledgeable and experienced. They wanted to make sure everyone was happy and enjoying themselves the entire time by checking in on us . It was relaxing, their jokes were funny, fun, and adventurous and the 8 hours went by fast. The food was the best and enjoyed the heck out of the lobster, I slide down the slide on the boat and that was fun too…. Just book it! You won’t regret it!!!
George_H, Jan 2025
We saw so much of this beautiful island with an exceptional crew with plenty of delicious food and rum punch.
Melanie_B, Oct 2024
We had a great time on this excursion would highly recommend. We went to two different snorkeling spots, a sand bar where we found sand dollars, ate lunch on a beach where we found conch shells. The lunch was awesome and filling. We had a great time would do it again.
Sylvia_G, Jul 2024
The whole day was as spectacular! I was worried that a whole day trip might be too long, but it went by quick!! There was shade under the covering and the captain kept things moving along at a steady pace so we never spent too much time or too little time at any of our stops. Snorkeling, searching for sand dollars and the bbq lunch were highlights for my husband and me. There was plenty of food and drinks all day. Captain Kwee kept us entertained and proved very knowledgeable about the everything.
We highly recommend this excursion!!
Juliana_G, Jul 2024
Wonderful locations, great food and a fun captain! We stopped at several locations that were all amazing, and couldn’t be seen without a boat. Well worth the price.
Lisa_D, Apr 2024
Really wonderful day! We went to several spots to snorkel and explore. The lunch was delicious and a special treat was having JoJo the dolphin follow our boat for quite awhile. Very professional crew and we covered a lot of places in our full day.

Thank you guys for choosing caicos dream tours!
Amanda_M, Dec 2023
Tito and Rel were great! The water was a little choppy when we went out due to the wind, I thought the snorkeling was still great…my friend was really nervous about it and didn’t go very far out. We snorkeled twice, had a fantastic lunch, went to a sandbar and half moon bay (iguana island). I thought the experience was amazing would definitely do again!!! Calmer waters would have made it better, but you can’t predict the weather!
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Thank you guys for joining our excursion! Thank you for shouting out Tino and rel we are glad that you guys enjoyed.

Amazing crew , great snorkel and great food
Will definitely return and recommend !
The sights was breath taking
John_F, Aug 2023
Snorkeling along the 2 reefs and seeing the dolphin Jojo and his family swimming right near our boat was awesome. Eating a delicious barbecue lunch on the beach then going for a relaxing swim made it a perfect day. The captain Kwee and his first mate told us many interesting historical facts concerning the islands and seemed genuinely engaged with everyone on our trip. Thanks again for a perfect day!
Randy_P, Aug 2023
The snorkeling was great. More snorkeling less cruising!
We were only able to snorkel for two 30 minute sessions all day. We were wanting more snorkeling! Crew was fantastic, bbq nice, drinks great.
More time needed on that fantastic reef!
Carlos_P, Jul 2023
The crew , BBQ and snorkeling opportunities were superb !
Definitely something you want to do while you visit Turks and Caicos !
shereeapplin, Jul 2023
We had a great time, would totally do it again. Love being picked up from the beach of our condo. And saw some great places.
Naeemah_H, Jun 2023
When I thought of full day tour I couldn’t imagine what we could possibly be doing the whole time but it was well worth it. Kids are allowed on this tour and I was first skeptical about this but I had a blast with them too! The captain Pop and his crew were amazing!
Alexandria_M, Jun 2023
Such a wonderful experience! Saw lots of beautiful reefs, turtles, dolphins, stingrays, 3 different reef sharks and so many colorful fish! Stopped to find sand dollars and visited Iguana Island. The captain and crew member were fantastic, very friendly and knowledgeable! I cannot recommend this tour enough!
Aleace_B, Feb 2023
The island hopping and snorkeling were awesome! Great lunch on the island. This trip was so much fun!
jennifer_c, Sep 2022
What an amazing day! Well worth the money! The sights were phenomenal! Kwee (our captain) and his partner were just wonderful! The day trip was the best excursion I’ve ever been on.
John_E, Mar 2022
The trip was excellent. The crew was really fun and the Captain was really helpful and inspiring. He cooked a great BBQ (Some of the best grilled lobster tail EVER) along with snapper and BBQ Chicken.
My girlfriend can't swim so he helped her snorkel alongside the boat so she could still participate.
My only complaint is the boat itself (Dream chaser). IT DOESN'T HAVE A ROOFTOP LOUNGE!! Big Boy has one and island dream has one, but the boat used for full day tours doesn't have a roof. So that was a big thing for me but otherwise great trip.

This is a must do, fun snorkeling but even better beach destinations. The time is broken up so there is no boredom. fun, fun, fun!
