Best kayak tour! We have been to Turks twice before and did kayaking and this one is by far the best and very responsible for the cost. We loved Dj! He was so knowledgeable and patient. Would definitely book with this company! Book it you will not regret it Dj called it for my husband and I couples therapy. We survived! Thanks Dj!

Robert was our guide. He was very patient and knowledgeable! We saw so many turtles! It was a great tour!
A great morning with a knowledgeable tour guide.
I'll be honest, I went in skeptical. The photos looked way too good to be true, and I figured there was no shot we'd actually see sea turtles like the ones in the pictures. Boy, was I wrong. There were sea turtles everywhere in the mangroves. They swam right up to the kayak and even right underneath us. I can't tell you how excited I was to have giant sea turtles just floating all around us. Our guide DJ even spotted a huge barracuda and got us right up close to it. DJ was awesome. He knew his stuff, kept it fun, and made this the best part of our day. The kayaking was the perfect amount. Enough to have fun and feel like you did something, but not so much that you're worn out and feel like you just did a crazy workout. We even played with a jellyfish! This is our third trip to Turks and Caicos, but our first time on this side of Iguana Island, and it was a whole different world. Super secluded. On other tours I've done, Iguana Island feels over-touristed and the iguanas stay as far away from you as they can, probably because they get harassed all day. These guys were chill. They'd walk right up to you and hang out on the same trail like they were just saying what's up. Right amount of time, right amount of energy, and memories we'll be talking about for years. Highly recommend. We would absolutely do it again!
Great tour, we were just 2 couples on the tour so we lucked out, the tour after us seemed busier so book the earlier one :) we saw lots of sea turtles and iguanas.
We had a wonderful time on the Mangrove and Iguana Beach tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun. We saw numerous sea turtles up close and we were able to get lots of great pictures. We also saw birds, a juvenile lemon shark and fish. Well worth the cost and paddling effort.
Kayaking is harder than you think. You have little workout . Definitely will see turtles . We saw stingrays, fish and jellyfish. Go early , as the afternoon is much hotter. Cold water was a bonus. Mikey was an awesome guide . Knowledgeable and fun.
Awesome! Do this everytime we come! Fantastic experience!!! The clear bottom seem to make it even better.
This clear kayak mangrove and iguana island tour was fun! We motored over to iguana island to see and learn about endemic rock iguanas. Our guide, Robert, was very knowledgeable. Then we motored over to the mangroves to kayak. We saw SO many sea turtles (green and hawksbill), a lemon shark, an upside-down jellyfish, and a conch. I will definitely do this tour again when I visit Turks and Caicos again!
We had an amazing time on this tour. Somehow we lucked out and it was only us in our kayak, and our tour guide (who was awesome btw). He was very knowledgeable and very patient. It was a very relaxing and beautiful experience!
We had an amazing tour! Our tour guide, DJ, was amazing and knowledgable. We saw plenty of sea turtles, a baby shark, a conch, a ray, and the iguana island was an added highlight. DJ had to navigate us back through rough weather and all was fine! We have three kids, the kids all loved it, very good tour for the whole family to enjoy!
The experience was a perfect way to see a beautiful part of the island. Our guide Daniel is a wonderful guide and person.
Daniel was an amazing guide! Went above and beyond our expectations! As promised we were able to see so much wildlife. Don’t hesitate! The clear kayaks were better than expected!!
The tour was amazing. For the price it can’t be beat. In 3 hours we saw at least 30 turtles, a baby lemon shark, a ray, rock iguanas, a conch, and an upside down jellyfish. Our guide, Smitty, was knowledgeable and personable and made sure everyone was safe and having fun. Even our 5 year old enjoyed it, and wasn’t bored or uncomfortable at all.
Excellent experience from start to finish! We had the pleasure of being the only group booked with our guides that morning and saw an incredible amount of wildlife. Iguanas, sting rays, lemon sharks, probably 30-40 turtles, conch, bonefish, and many more species. Highly recommend this trip to anyone!
We sure enjoyed the Mangroves and seeing all the turtles and the conch lesson our tour guide had given. Gene was WONDERFUL! He could give us great information plus really took care of us. So very patient and fun!!!
Our tour guide Daniel was great. He made sure we were having fun and that we saw all the great animals and wildlife out there in the mangroves. He gave us some interesting facts along the way and kept it fun the whole time. Highly recommend.
Mikey was THE BEST guide. He is so knowledgeable and helpful!!!!!
Great tour, beautiful ocean, excellent guide
Beautiful tour, got to see some rays, turtles and lemon shark. The guides do their best to put you on to the sights!
We did the Mangrove and Iguana Island tour with Mikey as our tour guide. He couldn’t have been more friendly and enjoyable four our group. We saw more turtles than I’ve ever seen anywhere and had a wonderful time.
IT WAS AWESOME! We saw a lot of turtles and iguanas, we also saw a baby shark and a stingray! It is perfect, guides are really cool and funny!
Me and my son enjoyed a fun filled tour. Gene (he didn’t tell us how to spell his name) was our guide and he was great and very knowledgeable. We saw tons of wildlife and even caught a quick glimpse of a pretty big nurse shark.
This was a great experience. We saw so many sea turtles, a lemon shark, conch and jelly fish. The guides were fun and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Wonderful tour trying your hands on kayaking and exploring the aquatic life amongst the mangroves. Trip to Iguana island was a unique real-life experience, as if we have transgressed their land. The staff managing the tour is very courteous and manage all aspects with attention to detail.
Wonderful guide very knowledgeable!! Beautiful scenery great equipment and amazing experience would go again
We had a very experienced guide who pointed out features to see to the entire group. This was a great experience as we saw iguanas, sea turtles, jellyfish, conch and one barracuda.
Amazing adventure! We saw sting rays, turtles, baby lemon shark, cowfish, and other sea life. Mike our guide was knowledgeable and provided VIP experience. Had a blast and would highly recommend.
Wonderful tour. We had DJ. They tow you out to the mangroves so you don't have to paddle that long. We saw conch, tons of turtles, fish, even a lemon shark! After a while in the mangroves they towed us over to a small island. We saw the iguanas and got to hang out in the water for a while then they tow you to shore. We had so much fun. Bring sunscreen! You will need to reapply. It was realllllly hot in the mangroves.
Our guide was fantastic and we were able to see quite a bit of what we expected, including but not limited to iguanas, small jellyfish, and some up-close time with a Conch.
Our guide made sure everyone was taken care of and had fun! We saw lots of sea turtles, iguanas, a lemon shark, jellyfish and live conch! We had family from 4 - 72 and everyone had a great time!!
Our guide was awesome! It was very apparent how important it was to our guide that we have a great experience!
Great tour! Our guide Mikey was very friendly and knowledgeable of the mangroves and iguanas.
We had fun. Our guide was informative and took his time to point out all the wildlife. I’d recommend.
Benz was so fun and upbeat - he made sure to show the turtles were and to curate the tour to what we wanted. He went above and beyond to show us the different species. It was SO beautiful and really fun to see the island from the water.
Our guide, Smit, was so friendly and knowledgeable! We saw two kinds of turtles, a ton of lemon sharks, barracuda and conch. Highly recommend this tour!!
Experience was great and a lot fun! Guide was very knowledgeable as well. I’d recommend going in the morning, as the temps do get hot. Only downside is that you may OR may not have access to a restroom…. 😬
Amazing excursion. We saw so many critters! Our guide Robert did a fantastic job. Highly recommend this one.
It was such a beautiful, peaceful excursion. Robert was terrific and so well informed about all of the animals/land/etc. We saw jellyfish, little sharks, big turtles, iguanas and conch. Great morning!!!
Mikey was a fantastic guide we saw lots of wildlife and he was so knowledgeable about everything
Our tour with Mikey was great! We first made our way to Iguana Island. On the way Mikey found us a conch shell that we could view up close. On Iguana Island Mikey told us all about the rock iguana and took photos of each group for us. Then we headed to the mangrove where he pointed out LOTS of turtles and different fish (barracuda, bone fish, cow fish, jellyfish). He was really good at making sure each boat got a view of each animal. On the way back in he also spotted a lemon shark and even though the shark was on the move he made sure everyone could see it. Overall I would highly recommend this tour!
Had a wonderful time, excellent guide (Gene) Very knowledgeable.
Cute tour. Lots of turtles big and small and even a baby lemon shark. They pull you to the mangroves then u paddle, then they pull you to Iguana Island. Good for people who can’t row far.
Everything was perfectly organized! We saw more iguanas and turtles than we could count. We also saw small sharks and a large stingray. This certainly can't be guaranteed on every tour. But what made the difference was the great team that works here. I would particularly like to highlight Jean, who knows his way around perfectly, explained so many details and, with his friendly manner, made us feel like we were on tour with friends. His love for people and nature was really impressive. While we listened intently, he completely lost track of time and gave us much more time than we had planned. One of the best tours I have ever booked!
This is a pretty big operation and lots of other kayakers will be with you. We expected to be in inland waterways, but instead paddled around (and across) main channels. We did see some turtles, but the time at Lizard Island was a waste- there were lizards, yes, but only a handful. We’ve probably seen as many during our stay on the island this week as we saw during our kayak tour. There are better excursions.
Absolutely wonderful!! Our guide Benz was amazing. Informative and fun activity for our family. Book it. You won’t be disappointed.
We had so much fun on our kayak tour! The views are beautiful and we were able to see sting rays, conch, jellyfish, and lots of sea turtles. Our guide, Benson, was wonderful and full of knowledge about TCI and it's unique wildlife.
Cancelled at last minute stating it was due to bad weather. Sunny blue skies and a beautiful day so not sure what was going on.
Great experience! We left the marina and travelled to Iguana Island. There we got out of our kayaks and ventured around the island to find iguanas. There were lots to see. Then we got back in our kayaks and travelled towards to mangroves where we saw turtles , conch, heron, and lemon shark. Definitely recommend and good for families!
We had the most AMAZING experience on the clear kayak Iguana Island mangrove tour! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The clear kayaks made it so fun to see straight down into the water—such a unique and unforgettable way to explore the mangroves. We saw so many sea turtles. Our tour guide, Gene, truly made the whole experience next level. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and had the best energy the entire time. He pointed out so much wildlife we would have completely missed on our own and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. Iguana Island was beautiful, and seeing the iguanas up close was such a cool bonus! This tour is a must-do if you’re in Turks and Caicos. Highly recommend—and if you get Gene as your guide, you’re in for the BEST time!
