Best half day snorkeling outfit on the island in my opinion. Conch ceviche was excellent and our guides Pop and DJ were great. They really went out of their way to make it a great experience.
Went snorkeling with Caicos Dream Tours and it was the highlight our trip. The crew was very professional, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. The boat and snorkel equipment was top notch. Lunch was fresh from the ocean and prepared by the crew. This is a must do on the island.
We were picked up at the beach in front of our resort. We were given a safety briefing and then headed out to a reef for snorkeling. The underwater views were stunning. The crew provided appropriate activities for different levels of snorkeling/swimming skills. After snorkeling we could slide off the on board slide into the sea. We were offered deli sandwiches, Conch salad (that we watched them make), rum punch, local beer, and soft drinks. Next we headed to Iquana Island. We were shown how to remove a Conch from its shell and had about an hour to explore the island and hang out in the water. We were then dropped off back at our hotel. The crew was friendly and happy to answer questions about the local area. We didn't have our kids with us, but I appreciated that the crew was aware of children that were there and would change songs on the radio if they weren't appropriate. We even saw Jojo, the local dolphin!
We booked through the Gansevoort, which highly recommended this tour. The boat picked us up promptly from the beach. From there we spent about 30 (hot) minutes picking up other guests up and down Grace Bay as well as making a stop for snorkel gear. (An easy fix would be to ask guests upfront for their flipper and buoyancy belt size rather than make this stop.) Once on our way we enjoyed a gorgeous and smooth ride out to the reef for some snorkeling. We had an hour to explore the reef with our guide and while we didn't see any spectacular fish, it was a fun experience. The only negative was that we had a lot of flippers to the face given the number of snorkelers in the group. Back on the boat, we enjoyed beverages and lunch, which was decent. The crew and fellow passengers were all exceptionally nice. Final stop was Iguana Island which was absolutely stunning and the highlight of the trip. We watched a quick demonstration of how they extract conch from their shell and then enjoyed time to explore the bath-like waters of the Atlantic and Caribbean oceans. We also saw quite a few small and medium-sized iguanas. Overall, a lovely afternoon exploring the waters off Grace Bay. Happy we did it.
We had a great time on this excursion, we snorkeled and spent time on eguana island. The crew was great and very helpful. They served lunch and had a great drink selection. I would highly recommend!
