The reviews speak for themselves:

Best Conch Diving Experience - I booked this tour for myself. I live in Turks and Caicos and wanted to experience diving for my own conch and eating a salad from it. I was offered a pick up by the Wonderful Juney as well as assisted by the wonderful Betty and Risa at the office. They greeted me with warm smiles and engaged me in a welcoming conversation too. Then I met John and Rushane, who took me on the boat. They were absolutely charming. Knowing I was a solo traveller, Rushane kept me company while John played the best music that I could dance to. They helped me find a conch as well as told me so much about them and the island. Then they also took scenic pictures of me and fed us all with the most delicious conch salad ever. I was so happy with the experience and would definitely go back again. Thank you so much 💓 (Reviewed on 2024-09-30)
