Itinerary
Board our vessel for your sailing and snorkelling adventure and make yourself comfortable as we set out on one of the most fun adventures available in Turks & Caicos. You will be picked up on Grace Bay Beach and then set Sail along the North Coast of Providenciales, enjoying the views while relaxing on the bow nets and looking out for dolphins and other marine life. We will head out to the Barrier Reef for our snorkel stop. Follow one of our experienced local guides on one of the most beautiful guided snorkel tours as we snorkel and explore the Leeward Reef, one of the healthiest living reefs in the Atlantic. You will see the usual residents like Snappers, Groupers, Sergeant majors, Trigger fish, Barracuda, Needle fish and sometimes Sharks Rays and Turtles. Leeward Reef is part of the Turks and Caicos Barrier reef network which is the third largest barrier reef system in the world. *All timings are approximate, in water snorkelling time is usually approx 45 mins
We do not stop at both Little Water Cay and Half Moon Bay. The location chosen is dependent on the weather. At Half Moon Bay our guides will take you ashore and take you on a nature tour, a guided walking tour of this natural sandbar. This area which is home to a large family of Native Rock Iguanas, is surrounded by a series of sandbars resulting in a shallow lagoon area at the back. Our guides will take you for a walk along the lagoon, explain to you how the sandbar was formed and give you a bit more information about the area, history of the islands etc. During this part of the nature walk guides will point out baby turtles, baby sharks, bonefish, barracuda, mojarra and sometimes rays and flamingoes. Alternatively you can simply relax on the beach or swim in the shallows.
We do not stop at both Little Water Cay and Half Moon Bay. The location chosen is dependent on the weather. Both Islands are home to the native Rock Iguanas but Little Water Cay is where the National Trust operate their guided tours at a cost of $40 cash per person.
Lunch of deli sandwiches, chips and salsa and fresh fruits is served onboard as we set sail back to Grace Bay. Drinks including rum punch, local beers, soft drinks and bottled water are included. You will be dropped off at the same location as you boarded.

Reviews
We really enjoyed this catamaran snorkeling experience. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Reggie met us on the beach as we waited to be picked up, he was full of information about Turks and Caicos and we enjoyed talking with him. The snorkeling was fun and we felt safe with our crew. After snorkeling we went to see the iguanas and spent time on the beautiful beach before cruising back to Grace Bay. The rum punch, fruit and sandwiches were good as well. We would definitely do this again!
The tour operator canceled me a few hours after I had purchased a ticket, but it showed sold out on Viator and I received a ticket to download. The tour operator did not answer my messages asking if the tour was still on. I waited from 7:32 AM until 8:30 AM on Sunday, August 23 to be picked up, but no one showed. Note: The tour operator also canceled my first reservation on Wednesday, August 19.
It was great! The staff was so much fun had snacks on the boat and adult beverages a lot! We got to see dolphins it was amazing
The experience was amazing! The men navigating the whole excursion were incredibly helpful and accommodating. They kept the drinks flowing, brought out food and snacks, and even extended our time on the boat longer than expected. I highly recommend hiring this company for your catamaran trip, and definitely tip them well given how much effort they put into making the day unforgettable. Btw, bring sunscreen that is SAFE for the reef.
Took the afternoon sailing on 8/14/26 with a party of 4. From start the finish the experience was so amazing! Entire crew went out of their way to show us a good time. I’ve been on plenty of sailings and what set this one apart was that it never felt rushed in any sense. Felt like we were cruising the entire time and had plenty of time at the multiple stops. If that wasn’t enough, after the ride we realized that we had left behind a Yeti cooler (and we all know that isn’t cheap) and after reaching out to the company, they promptly responded that they had it and it would be ready for pickup at the next docking. As soon as the boat docked the crew member was already holding it out for us. Truly made our day and cannot recommend this tour company more! Will definitely be returning!!
The crew was the absolute best. They made the experience so fun!! We had an amazing day in the water and on gorgeous beaches. This is a good trip for families for sure. If you are looking for something for adults only I would look elsewhere. The snorkeling was very cool but they have you stay as a group which feels very crowded in the water. We had a great time and can’t thank the crew enough.
Such a great experience. The crew was very helpful and funny as well as informative. We did the 4 hour half day so the snorkel was only 45 minutes. We did also see iguana island and half moon bay. Definitely recommend.
Excellent tour and super nice guys! We saw all kinds of fish and the rum pouch was delicious! Would use these guys again!
It was a fantastic experience!! The guides were so friendly and helpful! We had a good amount of time at each stop and we didn’t feel rushed at all. 10/10 would recommend!
Fantastic experience. Organized from the pick up on the beach to the very end. Captain and his crew were super friendly and accommodating! They made sure we were safe during the snorkeling. Always made sure we had enough water and rum punch. Will use them again!!
It was a beautiful day. The staff was super nice and made sure that everybody was engaged. They offered lots of help good direction and safety for all guests on the boat. They were very informative about the facts of the Turks and Caicos and the island and what they had to offer. It was a pleasurable day and we would definitely do this tour again with this group. I know it’s hard to pick from, but this was our favorite excursion we did as a family on this vacation T&C 2026
Awesome. 3 stops. Snorkeling. Iguana beach —half moon bay. Nice sand. Cool cave. Great crew. Was great.
Omg! This is a must! The guys love what they do and seriously made this, by far, one of the best excursions my daughter and I have been on! They even took photos of every single family on board! What an experience!
The crew was amazing. They took great care of us. Ross snorkeled with us and encouraged a few nurse sharks to come out from the caves so we could see them. We also saw a black tip shark and a school of squid. Swimming at the small island was perfection. Highly recommend this crew and tour above all others.
The Sail and Snorkel experience was amazing. The vibrant turquoise waters and white-sand beaches are incredibly gorgeous. The onboard staff was friendly and attentive to us. They did an amazing job. We had a wonderful time! Thank you!
The best crew ever! This is one of my favorite experiences we do as a family here. The boat, food and drinks are amazing. My all time favorites were our crew: Jay, Erickson, and captain Michael. Just an easy going happy day on the water.
Amazing experience overall in Turks and Caicos! The activity was beautiful, well organized, and the team was great. However, I was disappointed to notice that one team member seemed to treat two LGBTQ+ guests differently compared his treatment to us and the other guests. The LGBTQ+ members were really kind, friendly and respectful to everyone, and it was sad to see them potentially experience a different level of treatment. I hope all guests are treated with the same respect and inclusivity.
* ⭐ Friendly, energetic crews that keep the trip fun. * 🐠 Clear water and good snorkeling with tropical fish, and sometimes turtles, rays, nurse sharks, or even dolphins depending on conditions. * 🦎 Stops at Little Water Cay (Iguana Island), which is a favorite. * 🍹 Drinks, snacks, or lunch are usually included. * ⛵ Beautiful sailing along Grace Bay with plenty of time to relax on the boat.
Most beautiful beach and clearest water I have ever seen. The crew was lively, friendly, and full of personality. Great experience!
We had the absolute best time with these guys! They were so very patient and helpful! They were great tour guides!!
Excellent tour and excellent service. The captain and his crew were professional and fun! The drinks and food were delicious. Thanks for making our vacation so special.
This was a wonderful experience for our entire party. The boat crew picked us up right on time. They got everyone settled then gave a safety overview. They were a great crew, experienced, helpful and pleasant to be with. We had young children, who had never snorkeled before, and older adults and everyone had fun. The stop at iguana island was brief but long enough to see the iguanas. The food was fine, fruit after snorkeling and sandwiches after the beach. And there was a great selection of alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages.
It was a great sail, visited a couple of private beaches with great shelling and iguanas. My only complaint is the snorkel part was way too many people: the group was too Large and difficult to stay close enough together with the guide without getting kicked by others fins etc
The snorkeling spot was very choppy and I found it difficult to enjoy. I thought it would have been in calm water, not in the middle of nowhere. Food was a sandwich choice which was okay. The catamaran itself was difficult to walk around since the walk area was not flat. Overall I was disappointed for the cost
The guides were very informative and kept the vibe upbeat and fun! Would highly recommend this trip!!
“Sailboat” ride was a farce. Motored out and back. Captain put sail up straight to the wind. Had to endure deisel fumes the entire trip. Crew not the friendliest folks on the island by a long shot.
The Staff and crew were great! Very accommodating and helpful The drinks and food were good. Fun for everyone
Excellent crew, boat and adventure. We had a blast. Very memorable trip and would do it again. Food was good too.
Amazing experience with Ocean Vibes! Captain Willie, Tate and Curtis were very hospitable and fun. Loved every element of the excursion. Would do it again!
Excellent snorkeling experience! Went to 3 places-one to snorkel, one to see iguanas and one to swim—beautiful beaches! Total guests on board were only 13 so plenty of room for everyone to spread out! The crew was great! Highly recommend!
Not much to see. Hard to swim due to wind, would not recommend for first time snorkelers. Beach was beautiful and iguana island was neat, guide provided history of iguanas.
Instead of just tossing out snorkels and masks, I wish the crew would better customize the experience. My wife’s mask was far too large, and she struggled with it a lot, which drastically diminished our snorkeling experience. Everything else was lovely, but I hated missing out on that part.
The experience was super fun. Captain Willie, Jay, and Tae were great and knowledgable. We made 3 stops - snorkeling, iguana island, and a beach. Had just enough time at each stop to really enjoy it.
We had such a good time on this excursion. The guys, and one beautiful lady, on the boat were very nice and really helped us have a lot of fun. We saw sharks and lots of colorful fish. We also checked out iguana Island, which was so cool. And the drinking was a lot of fun too. I would highly recommend going on this.
Unfortunately this specific event was cancelled and we were asked to join another 4 hr cruise. That was different than we wanted.
Such a fun experience. Amazing crew with captain Willy and Erickson. Snorkeling was wonderful and would do it again in a heartbeat.
Very relaxing, great crew. The water is amazing. We got to see a lot of different fish. The drinks were delicious!
We loved our cruise with Ocean Vibes! The crew was so fun. Shoutout to Erickson who was so helpful and kind and made the best rum punch!! The reef was beautiful. Not many fish but tons of beautiful coral. Next stop was Iguana Island, which was so cool. Loved seeing the iguanas. They were very curious and friendly. Last stop was Leeward Beach, which was gorgeous beyond belief. We found several big conch shells to take home.
The staff was great. They picked us up on time and were fun while keeping everything safe. I would definitely recommend this company.
Nice activity that provided good snorkeling spots and interesting spots. Refreshments were basic, no frills and the boat was a bit older.
The best afternoon spent in Turks. We got to see and experience some of the best of this island. The kids had so much fun and the guides were so fun and knowledgeable
Tae and Jay were amazing! We had the best time!
Our tour got canceled but we were given many options to rebook or refund. We rebooked with snorkel, sand bar, and iguana island. The crew was so fun and nice. Reggie was the best! Lunch was good, we had so much fun. I recommend the tour and I would use this group (ocean vibes) next time for sure.
Crew was very friendly, helpful and attentive. We would have preferred less emphasis on drinking/music and more education about reef environment, fish, etc.
Had a great time on the Ocean Vibes catamaran tour. The captain Michael and crew Erickson and Jay (hope I spell their names right) were super friendly and made the whole experience very relaxed and enjoyable. Special thanks to Erickson—I’m not a swimmer and completely new to snorkeling, and he took amazing care of me the entire time. Truly my “dolphin” in the water, which made me feel safe and able to enjoy the experience. Loved the views, the stops, and just chilling on the beach. Overall a really fun tour. Very glad I chose a sailing boat over a powerboat—much more comfortable and scenic.
This excursion was wonderful! The crew made it such a fun day, they were attentive, always offering drinks and food. Snorkeling was nice, but you also stop at an island and a beach. The catamaran was fun to sit in the netting or on top of - we were simply SO impressed. And great deal! Half day and lunch/drinks included!
The snorkeling was amazing and would have loved to stay longer. Iguana island was weird. Crew was very friendly and attentive. Snorkeling equipment was clean and in good condition. A bit light on telling us about what we were seeing , would have wanted more info on the island, fish and reef.. The boat is older, very basic. Not much sailing but we enjoyed the spacious deck.
The Captain & crew on the catamaran where fun, friendly , and very attentive. There was a very mixed group of people and they met everyone's needs with smiles. There were not as many fish to be seen as I expected but the coral reef was beautiful. There was some beach time and a short walk to see iguanas. Great day.
Great family experience. Crew was engaging and helpful. I’ve never had the crew actually snorkel and tell us about the different fish and marine life. Trip to Iguana Island where they took pictures for families on the beach. We were able to book last minute and it was one of the better prices, so I was a little skeptical, but it was definitely a highlight of our trip.
