We enjoyed this tour so much! Our boat was captained by Viguel & Anderson who were nothing short of wonderful; hospitable, safe, and friendly. It truly was a highlight of our Beaches Turks & Caicos stay! On our way out, we saw wild dolphins (even a baby), received some historical and geographical facts about the island, and enjoyed the wind in our hair while riding on the bow. The Conch collection at our snorkeling location was plentiful even though they were too deep down for most of our family even though we are decent swimmers. Our 11-year-old daughter—who is on a swim team—was our family’s only successful retriever. Even so, Anderson helped collect many tasty and beautiful crustaceans from the ocean floor for the rest of us to enjoy and even take home as a memento (the clean shell, scrubbed/brushed by locals on the beach when we returned $$). Our boat ride was safe and fun, we were able to see a good amount of wildlife while snorkeling, and the ceviche was delicious! My 9 & 11 year olds ate it, too! I highly recommend this tour; especially for those who are great swimmers or for those who are easy-going whether the Conch is personally reachable or not. It was enjoyed by all in our group! *Side note: We were shocked and surprised to see very few tipping passengers besides ourselves. Throwing these guys a little extra $ for their efforts is probably very appreciated.

This was by far the most fun activity we have done Not only caught conchs but cleans the and made ceviche Saw crabs eating the rest of the conchs

They cancel and steal your money!

Karin_C, Dec 2025
If i could give this zero stars I would!! The fact is the tour never happened. They cancelled it the night before claiming weather the next day but the weather and conditions were perfect. I told them to refund me because we could not go on the next date they offered as we were going to be home. Needless to say…never received any notification email of the cancellation or credit!! Horrible!! Will be disputing with Victor as they STOLE $560!!!!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Krysta_F, Oct 2025
First they gave us the wrong pick up point and luckily our taxi driver Earl got us to the right location. Beautiful waters. Not much on iguana island to see but we did by drive by Jason Aldeans house. We did get a conch shell to take home. Tour guides were helpful

A fun (& delicious) adventure out on BEAUTIFUL Turks & Caicos waters!

Dan and Anderson were great hosts. They dove for conchs and made a nice ceviche. We had 16 people on the boat total and were all comfortable. We stopped in two locations to dive for conchs. After the conch hunting we stopped on Iguana Island and explored while they prepared the ceviche. It was a nice 3 hour trip which was just perfect for us.

Knowledgeable guide who made sure we had a great time. We saw turtles, sharks, conchs, and of course the mangroves.

Highly recommend

Teck_K, Mar 2025
Great excursion. Pick up was a bit disorganized as we did not get specific info about meeting point, and it took awhile for them to respond to my message on the app. That being said, everything else went smoothly aside from the late start (but they also ended later to make up time). Crew was professional and I appreciated that they took their time to go over safety info so clearly, safety was a priority. They made sure we all got a conch, and kept us entertained. Highly recommend.

Shelling adventure

charlotte_c, Sep 2024
Manny and Rushawn were amazing. They took excellent care of everyone on board and made sure everyone got a shell! Highly recommend :)

Even saw Dolphins

Michele_M, Aug 2024
A great excursion right from the start. The captain and his first mate were friendly and informative. Showed us how to dive for the conch and taught us how to clean them. Went to a beautiful beach where we were able to snorkel. They made the best conch salad from what we caught. The waters in T&C are absolutely the best. On the way back we stopped in an area that had Mama, Papa and Baby Flipper. What an amazing surprise. They were beautiful. Great trip would highly recommend

Wor the the trip

Tracy_M, Aug 2024
This was a great tour. The guide took us to a great spot to search for the conch shells and assisted us in finding them. He showed us how to clean them and make a salad and then we went to iguana island to swim. It was raining, but we made the best of it. We did not see the abandoned ship or find other shells on other islands but still a fun time. Worth the trip. Very friendly guide. Great experience.

Amazing

Jasmine_Y, Jul 2024
This excursion was so fun! The ceviche was delicious and we got to keep our shell/sand dollar. The private beach was soooo pretty. Would definitely recommend

Great morning and lunch!

Samantha_W, Jun 2024
Captain John and Rushane were AWESOME! Made sure we had drinks, snacks, and everything we needed the whole time. The day before our pickup time changed from 9:30 to 9 am so we could pick up others. we got started early though and ended up with a little more time on the boat. Loved 'hunting' for conch, wathcing the process, and eating the DELICIOUS sushi! They seemed to have to combine excursions which was great for us- we got to drive by the shipwreck and see iguana Island although I am not sure that was in the original plan for the scavenger hunt. Had such a fun day and so happy we got to do it so much!

Great captain and great...

Jonathan_G, Jun 2024
Great captain and great experience We had a blast, the island was beautiful Boat ride out was amazing as well

Would not recommend

Jessica_G, Mar 2024
Tour itself was good, but pick up location wasn’t clear, had to be changed the morning of with no notice, tour was cut short by an hour as a result. Ended up having to take a van to the headquarters and waited, only ended up with a 2 hour experience and people on site not helpful. Overall would not recommend.

Caribbean Cruising Conch Scavenger & Ceviche

Jenny_N, Mar 2024
Had a great time! The ceviche was fantastic and the crew was awesome. Highly recommend Caribbean Cruisin'

Great experience and a lot of fun.

Josephine_L, Feb 2024
For an entertaining adventure, take this cruise. The crew were funny and helpful. We had an unexpected sighting of a couple of dolphins! The only negative I would say is that they should serve a sandwich to those of us who do not eat raw food, like conch. But overall, it was terrific. We especially loved the rum punch! A terrific outing.

Amazing and fun experience

Ada_S, Oct 2023
The tour was amazing! We had so much fun riding on the boat and snorkeling for conch. The guides made an excellent conch ceviche at the end too!

fun activity

Jisun_A, Aug 2023
Overall the trip was really fun and great. the captain and his partner was very nice and friendly and made the trip enjoyable. However, the boat pickup was 30minutes late and nobody reached out to us and I had to call them to make sure it was still happening. When we were finally picked up there was no apology or reason given so I was bit on the fence about the trip in the beginning. But it all turned out well and we had a great time.

Conch Hunt

Michael_L, Jul 2023
The snorkeling and looking for conch was great and a lot of fun. The captain gave great explanations about the excursion and his expectations. The best part was the conch salad and being able to watch its preparation. The salad was well prepared and tasty.

Amazing conch adventure!

Stephanie_W, Apr 2023
What an amazing time! We all had a blast looking for conch and enjoying the tasty conch ceviche after. Captain Jerry was totally awesome! Highly recommend this excursion!

Wonderful time! Jerry and...

Alexandra_M, Mar 2023
Wonderful time! Jerry and John were great. Conch were few and far between but the overall trip was really good.

Great Escape

Beautiful adventure❣️🏖️ Had great time. All In one to enjoy time at Islands. Well organize. Thank you

Family friendly adventure

DANIELLE_S, Dec 2022
Fun experience snorkeling and hunting for conch. Bring sunblock and a dry towel. Boat gets wet, so dry bags are good too. Leave hats at home, they will blow away when the boats going fast. After snorkeling, boat heads to a sand bar for swimming, sand dollar searching and relaxing, all while the captain and mate prepare the most delicious conch CEVICHE. Plenty for everyone on the boat (but probably pending the success of the days catch). Chips and salsa for the non ceviche eaters. Beer/soda/water/rum punch all available throughout the day.

Wouldn’t bother doing again. Go with private tour

Colleen_H, Dec 2022
People were nice. However we didn’t catch any conch. It was very hard to dive as deep as needed to see the conch or to much less grab them. As expensive as it was we got one conch to bring home with us and it’s cracked. That was sort of the point. If you want to get conch book a private tour as this boat is packed and you probably won’t get to catch anything neatly impossible. Only one passenger of the roughly 25 of us got anything from the water. Would have appreciated more guidance once in the water. Wont rebook this way.

Family fun

Sheree_S, Jul 2022
Great time. Finding conch is harder than it looks. However, capt. clay made it look easy. Fun atmosphere for the entire family.
