Additional Information
Welcome to Providenciales, our home for the past decade, where we’ve fostered a deep familiarity with every aquatic creature and coral formation in our snorkeling adventures! We’re excited about the opportunity to familiarize you with the mesmerizing barrier reef of Providenciales.
Our snorkel tours are well-suited for both beginners and seasoned snorkelers alike, as we’ve had participants ranging from newborns to those nearly a century old, and everyone in between, with varied skill levels.
Immersive snorkeling, when done responsibly, can be one of the most minimally damaging yet deeply personal encounters with a wild environment. Our tours seek to spark your curiosity, fuel your sense of exploration, and cultivate your enthusiasm for learning all about the magic of the underwater realm first-hand.
Following our snorkeling adventure, we set sail for Little Water Cay, commonly referred to as Iguana Island. It is here you will side-step along its stunning beaches and soak in the serene, no-rush ambiance as we serve lunch and a selection of drinks.
As a thrilling finale to our tour, we move into deeper waters where adrenaline seekers will get to plunge off our rooftop diving board and go speeding down our curved water slides.

Wonderful Experience - We loved this boat tour! The boat was great. We loved the beds up top and the slide and diving board were a lot of fun. The stop over by the tiki bar and to see the iguanas was really great. The snorkeling was really cool but a little rough that day. The guides were very friendly and entertaining.

Such a great trip! - Excellent experience. We are a family of 6. The boat picked us up on the beach, the captain and two helpers were awesome. They went over safety precautions and ensured everyone was safe during the ride. We had an awesome day snorkeling and visiting iguana island. The kids favorite part was diving off the board and going down the slide. The tour guides work hard to ensure everyone has a great time. Highly recommend!!

Vacation snorkeling fun - We had a great time on the snorkeling trip. We started by Smith Reef snorkeling, then traveled to Iguana Island. Snorkeling was good. Iguana Island was beautiful. Captain Emilio was awesome with mate Philip. Plenty of drinks and food. Gorgeous day on the water.

Great way to see things we typically would not have seen on our own. - Going to the other island and seeing what we could not have on our own which was the barrier reef. The slide off the boat was also fun. The only downside was that the snorkeling area was not what i expected and that was the title of the excursion. Nevertheless, the tour guides were a lot of fun and played great music for the boat ride.

Snorkeling turned out to be disappointing - Our family had a really nice time on this excursion. My kids thoroughly enjoyed jumping from the boat platform into the water, and the deck on the top of the boat was a perfect place to enjoy the sun and scenery. I will say that we were disappointed in the snorkeling aspect. The water was rough all day and knowing that I have 2 people in my family who get seasick, we reached out to the operator to see if the tour was still on. They replied simply "we will still go out." After waiting an hour later than our scheduled pick up time to start, the crew said we would not be able to go to the reef for snorkeling but would go to an area that they admitted was "not much to look at" but we would do some snorkeling there "just to say we did some snorkeling." We were all pretty disappointed at that since this is listed as a snorkeling excursion in Grace Bay. (We ended up "snorkerling" in Long Bay instead.) It felt like they had no intention of going out to the reef at all that day. had we known that, we likely would have taken a rescheduled cruise a couple days later.
In the end, the weather and the scenery turned out to be great and we had a nice time. The crew was actually very generous and super hospitable with sodas and drinks, but the lack of true snorkeling was extremely disappointing.

We understood it to be a... - We understood it to be a snorkeling trip and it should have been cancelled /rescheduled when it was clear that th weather didn’t permit snorkeling safely - we are glad that they kept us safe that way- however, the trip essentially became a “booze cruise” completely inappropriate if young kids were on board and not safe in terms of the amount of alcohol they were serving the passengers.
