Snorkel and Conch Cruise: A Fun Family Tour In Turks Caicos

One of the most popular excursions offered by Caicos Dream Tours provides a terrific way for our resort guests to experience the third largest coral reef system in the world, that surrounds the island of Providenciales. This memorable four-hour snorkel and conch cruise excursion offers twice daily departures (9:00am and 1:30pm), seven days a week. You will be conveniently picked up in our resort lobby where you will be shuttled to the Caicos Dream Tours marina, just three minutes away from the Sands at Grace Bay. In a fully shaded power catamaran, you will be whisked away to some of the most stunning barrier reef formations that are abundant with underwater wildlife. With snorkel equipment included, the captain will first make a stop to snorkel along the Caicos Bank where you may also dive for conch, the island’s native mollusk and local delicacy. You will then depart to Half Moon Bay, an uninhabited island where you can relax on the white-sand beach and snorkel in the crystal clear waters just offshore while the staff prepares you a light lunch that includes a freshly made conch salad from the conch that you dove for earlier in the day. This is a terrific excursion option for families and couples looking for a half-day snorkeling adventure that offers breathtaking sights both above and below water and four hours of pure fun.
