Snorkel and enjoy a beachside picnic on an uninhabited island during this half-day excursion from Grace Bay. With your friendly captain and crew, discover neighboring islands such as Big Water Cay, Half Moon Bay, and Iguana Island. Explore the underwater world of live coral and schools of tropical fish while snorkeling. Lunch includes gourmet sandwiches and beer, rum punch or soft drinks. Round-trip transportation from Grace Bay hotels is included.

Your first snorkeling stop will be the Turks and Caicos barrier reef, which is the 3rd largest in the world and over 125 miles in distance. The natural barrier guards the north shore of Providenciales and preserves its beautiful, white sand beach. It’s also the reason why the water is so clear and blue. On a clear, sunny day you can see up to 100 feet underwater! Sixty different types of coral are said to reside here. The barrier reef is also a fantastic spot to catch a glimpse of whales, dolphins, stingrays, turtles, and many incredible species of tropical fish.

You will then cruise along the Caicos Bank, which has the shallow, turquoise-tinted waters off the shores of Providenciales and Caicos. The waters house tidal flats and swamps, which are an ideal habitat for Conch, a staple here in the Turks and Caicos! This reef system abruptly drops off into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, which is commonly referred to as the “Wall.” The Caicos Banks make up some 1700 square miles with much of the area being under 20 feet (6 meters).

Your last stop will be at Half Moon Bay, which is a picturesque beach located between the islands of Little Water Cay and Water Cay. It is a three quarter mile (1200 meter) beach, which started as a sand bar and slowly grew over many years.
