For our 3 moms/3 daughters (ages 10-15), we booked a 1/2 day private boat snorkel cruise. I’ve been on a few of these in T&C so knew what to expect. But our amazing captain, Lamont, surprised me!! He’s a superb driver and a ton of fun - we did snorkel (with the awesome Dorly finding turtles for us to see!), but he added on holding huge starfish, seeing the ghost boat and of course Iguana Island:) We loved just driving around. Plus the girls had a blast jumping off the diving board and using the boat slide. We lucked out with Lamont and Dorly - they were both the best and made sure we had a great trip! Highly recommend.

I can’t thank Island Vibes Tours enough for an unforgettable half-day boat trip! Joe and Kamar went above and beyond to make the day special — they brought us to all the best spots and were so attentive to every request. They even offered to snorkel with us if we were feeling unsure, which was such a thoughtful touch. The boat itself was amazing, complete with a slide and diving board that kept everyone entertained. This was our third tour with Island Vibes, and it just keeps getting better. I recommend them to everyone visiting Turks and Caicos — hands down the highlight of our trip!
Captain Waldy and First Mate, Alpha led us on a beautiful adventure! It was a memory for a lifetime. The first sighting on our snorkel trip was a delightful sea turtle. Alpha skillfully led us through the beautiful sites of the reef. He made our trip fun and safe for the most experienced snorkelers and the newbies. A champagne toast and we were off for a ride through the amazing turquoise waters of the bay. Captain Waldy located the Island's favorite porpoise, JoJo. The Captain skillfully used the boat's wake to invite JoJo to play with us. We were enthralled and smiling from ear to ear as we watched JoJo swim and jump in our wake for several minutes! We bid JoJo goodbye and boated on, until we pulled ashore on a beautiful, romantic and uninhabited beach. We leisurely walked the shore and the cliffs. There were several opportunities for taking amazing photos. Our sunset ride back was the perfect ending for the perfect afternoon. We raised our glasses of rum punch in a toast to Captain Waldy, mate Alpha, and this amazing tropical paradise! As we soaked in the beauty of this place, we recognized how fortunate we were to have this amazing memory.
Our excursion with Island Vibes Tours was a highlight of our trip to Turks and Caicos! Our entire group loved our guides, Oscar and Richard, who were personable and extremely attentive to safety. The parasailing was spectacular, we saw the reef and lots of fish perfectly while snorkeling, and learning to "subwing" was a new and exciting activity. Oscar and Richard were skilled in managing the boat and us and shared fun trivia with us along the way. We even had a great snack near the end of our tour. We have recommended this excursion to everyone who has asked and would do it again! I'd like to add also that after forgetting my hydro flask bottle on their boat, much needed during my visit, they even returned it to my hotel the next day since their office was closed. Incredible service! Give them a try! You'll be glad you did.
We booked this private 4hr parasail excursion with Viator and it exceeded all of our expectations. We stayed at a private villa but had a car to drive to Bight beach where the pick-up was, there was plenty of parking. I don't know if this tour offered a pick-up in Grace Bay or not, but most do. Since we had already been snorkeling and we wanted to see the famous ship wreck, we headed over to that side of the island. The weather was much better there based on wind direction anyway. Our group really set the entire schedule for the tour, first parasailing, then we went to Iguana Island and enjoyed both the Atlantic and Caribbean oceans. Then we headed to Noah's Arc to enjoy music and perhaps see Drake. We did get to see a Canadian rapper "Nav" on his boat a few times as well as a dolphin on the tour. There were plenty of drinks available, the food was pretty basic but enjoyable. Richard and Oscar guide and driver for the tour, they were both great. We felt extremely safe, well taken car of, and they were very flexible and open to what we wanted to see and do, and the music we listened to.
We had the best time with Emilio and Oscar! We got to parasail, snorkel, visit Iguana Island, and subwing. The food was good and the rum punch was even better. We even got great sunset pictures at the end. Highly recommend this tour!
My family (4) and my brother's family (5) took this private excursion for our families. Our kids ages range from 8 - 16 and this tour had everyone satisfied. Both Richard and Enrique were informative, compassionate (my nephew was very adverse to the parasailing and snorkeling but in the end did try the parasailing) and pleasant to work with. We started out snorkeling, then went to Little water cay for about 1 hour then ended the trip with parasailing. A nice spread of chips/wraps/fruits were provided along with beer, rum punch, water and sodas. Would definitely recommend this to any family who wanted to enjoy the water activities of TCI.
My family and I had the most amazing 4 hour private adventure with Emilio and Elian. They were so kind, professional, helpful, and just a blast to spend the 4 hours with. I recommend this activity to every family vacationing in Turks and Caicos. They picked us up at the beach right in front of our hotel and the fun and adventure started right away. We were able to choose our activities. We parasailed, snorkeled, went to Iguana Island, and they taught us to subwing which was a TOTAL BLAST! They fed us and provided us with soda and water. We didn't partake of the rum punch. :) You will not be disappointed if you do this tour!
Oscar and Richard did a get job. We had choppy waters and they navigated it well. Even with rough waters the snorkeling was pretty good. Saw some turtles, which my girls loved. My kids loved the parasailing!
Planned for a couple sours is parasailing and got so much more. The parasailing was great but we also toured Iguana Island, snorkeled out at the drop-off, did a wake board-like activity they got us 20 feet underwater with goggles to see even more sea life. Richard was a tremendous guide who also told us about a festival happening that night in town. Our whole family went and had a ball. This outing was the highlight of a great week form our daughters (teens and 20’s). Highly recommend.
We had an amazing time on our tour! We were able to customize our day with the private tour and Richard and Carlee accommodated all our requests. The main thing we wanted to see was sea turtles and they spotted a bunch for us. We were able to swim with the turtles and see really unique fish. I would highly recommend booking a tour especially with Richard and Carlee!
Palmer, emillo and Wally were the best hosts, we had the most unforgettable day with a wedding party. Highly suggest.
Palmer, Emilio, Wally created an unforgettable experience for our group, 100% will recommend to all my friends who are planning to visiting the Turks in the future. So friendly and encompass the island vibe and personality.
Had so much fun out on the water with my family. Captain John and JR were great! Recommend snorkling
Had a fantastic trip today with Captain John & JR! We were a family of nine. They were professional, attentive, kind and took safety seriously (which not everyone does around here!). They were also super fun (and funny!). We had a blast snorkeling, exploring nearby Islands and jumping/swimming off the boat. Even saw some dolphins… Highly recommend spending half a day with these guys!
Captain John and JR made our experience super enjoyable! We had the best time jumping off the diving board on the boat.
We had a wonderful time with Maldy and Emilio! From beginning to end, they were amazing. The four eyes we had with them flew by too quickly. Snorkeling, parasailing, relaxing at an amazing secluded beach, and RUM PUNCH! This is a must! If you can request Maldy and Emilio: fun, flexible, chill, delightful!
Awesome day took up cliff jumping and snorkeling. Very chill after that and they made us a beach barbecue.
I have to start off by mentioning Richard, Carlee and Phillip!!!Best crew ever!! They ensured that my friends and I enjoyed our time. I’m not a great swimmer but they paid so much attention to me and made sure I was safe at all times. Really do recommend this establishment if you want to have a great time with a few drinks.
From pick up to drop off, and everything in between, Woldy and Emilio were first class hosts on our private half day multi-sport tour! We snorkeled by the reef, where we encountered a nurse shark and a black nose shark; we parasailed over clear blue waters and a stranded ship; we snorkeled again by a sunken ship near Half Moon bay and Rock Island; we did the sea wings, where Jojo the dolphin startled two of our sea wingers right out of the water; and had a perfect lunch of fresh fruit and a variety of sandwiches. The only thing we would do differently next time is book the full day! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND ISLAND VIBES and WOLDY and EMILIO!
These guys were amazing. The Snorkeling was amazing water tubing was so much fun and the best part of it Dre an AP were so much fun. Wish I could stay with them longer. Till next time. This is a must do!
This was our first time getting our own boat (with drivers!) and not going with a group of strangers. It was sooo worth the extra money! The guys fished with dragging lines on our way to snorkel, then we parasailed and Jojo the dolphin came along, then visited Iguana island (where our shoes disappeared), got back on the boat for lunch, had an endless supply of rum punch, and even got to DJ using playlists from our phone while Bluetoothed to the radio. Our shoes were taken by another big boat captain and our captain went through the effort of calling and located our stuff and even took us by that boat to get everything back! So sweet! We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend using these guys again!!!
My Island Vibes Tour was absolutely amazing and something I would do again. Palmer and Spike were very good tour guides and made the experience extraordinary. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun time.
Palmer and Dre were our captains and guides for our private trip to the beautiful islands around Provo. They were the most fun guides on the water that we’ve ever had. And they made sure we saw turtles, and dolphins. The slide and diving board made experiencing the ocean extra special!
Waldy and Emilio were amazing guides and made sure our family of 10 had a great day on the water. They customize your trip to your wishes. They watched out for our safety while making sure we had a good time. We Fit in parasailing, snorkeling, Iguana Island stop and “submarine” behind the boat into a 4 hour tour. Light lunch and refreshments included on the morning tour. Extra bonus they picked us up on the beach right in front of the hotel. Highly recommend!
Dre Palmer has been the most amazing guide. The entire boat was clean and organized and had everything where it was supposed to be. If you are looking for a 4 hour excursion I highly suggest them.
This tour was such an awesome day on the boat and in the water! Our captains Waldy and Emilio showed us such a great time. The rum punch was very flavorful and the vibes of the island were definitely there! A MUST do while on the island, and make sure you request Captains Waldy and Emilio :)
Waldy and Amelio showed us an great day! We parasailed, snorkeled, visited Iguana Island, and learned how to subwing! I had never heard of subwing, but it was the coolest experience! Definitely try it! They rode past the shipwreck, provided lunch (wraps, chips, and fresh fruit), and server up plenty of rum punch. Don't miss out on this excursion!
We spent the morning with Captain Lex and Terrence exploring beautiful sand bars, snorkeling, and visiting the local “tiki hut.” Lex and Terrence were WONDERFUL hosts and delightful as they shared their knowledge and love for their island and the surrounding water. We are boat and water aficionados and they did not disappoint. We will not even consider a return trip to T&C without planning a day with them. 5 stars. Excellent customer service.
Richard and Oscar gave us our best day in the Turks and Caicos. Extremely fun, courteous, and capable! What a terrific day on the water. They made sure we saw all the sites and encouraged us to use all their toys. Snorkeling the reef with Richard, then on to the shipwreck where we parasailed, from there we toured other small islands, got off at a gorgeous private beach where we visited with some iguanas and had a lovely lunch, then off to try out their awesome sub-wing and swim with Jo Jo. They hit all the high points and my family was thrilled. Thank you, guys!!!
We had an absolutely wonderful time with Oscar and Emilio! They tailored our trip to what we wanted and couldn't have been more accomodating and fun!
Captain Lex and Palmer were excellent guides and hosts. The day was perfect, the snorkeling great, the tubing crazy fun (per the kids), the rum punch tasty, the food and music was just right…Lex and Palmer accommodated us in every way possible. Cant wait to come back!
My family and I had the best trip ever. Captain hutch and roker are the best tour guide, they were so informative throughout the trip. They made sure everything was intact in terms of safety etc. They made the day memorable and fun for my family and i and other passengers. I will definitely book another 😊
We had the best time on our island vibes tour today. Unfortunately, our favorite captain, Captain Hutch, had to leave off at the beginning of the trip (he is the best, btw), but it was still an excellent day! We loved Alpha too. Thanks Island Vibes for the great tour!!
Shout out to Captin Waldy and First Mate Richard! I can't say enough about the experience these two gentlemen gave us. Me and two of my best friends chartered a private four-hour tour with all the water sports for our last day in the beautiful islands of Turks and Caicos. One of my best friends does not like large bodies of water and the guys made her feel right at home while we were parasailing, snorkeling, and using the sub wings. We are three loud cursing NYC ladies who desperately needed a vacation and these guys handled us like pros. They were incredibly kind, helpful, hospitable, and just all-around pleasant company. They seemed really genuine in that they love what they do and where they do it. Everything was timed out perfectly too. Parasailing for enough time, snorkeling for enough time, and an hour on Iguana Island was perfect. After we explored Iguana Island on our own we came back to a lovely little lunch. The fruit was amazing and the wraps hit the spot. Richard was so great snorkeling with us and making sure we (meaning, me) didn't swim off too far. My friends and I felt totally comfortable putting our lives in their very capable hands while parasailing. Richard was so sweet in answering all our questions and telling us all about this beautiful island he's called home all his life. Captain Waldy was all business in making sure all the equipment was tip top and inspected everything we were about to use in the water. They were both just amazing and really helped end our trip on the highest of notes. The only reason why I gave a Very Good rating instead of an Excellent one is that we didn't know exactly where to meet the boat. The instructions just said at Grace Bay Beach which is actually quite big. We were at the wrong location, but Sean (a captain from another Island Vibes Tour boat) was kind enough to call Captain Waldy and let him know where we were. We waited a bit (which we certainly didn't mind considering the stunning setting) and then here comes Captain Waldy and Richard pulling right up on the beach to get us. I feel confident in saying that when we return to Turks and Caicos (and we will) we would not hesitate to book another day with Captain Waldy and Richard of Island Vibes Tour. Thank you guys! We really needed that.
Our group (2 adults & 7 teens) spent 4 hours on a boat with Wally and Richard and I cannot say enough great things. It was amazing. The girls got to parasail, snorkel, tube, and explore Iguana Island. We had great tunes playing the whole time. They even provided wraps, snacks, beverages and a cake for my daughter. Wally & Richard were incredibly safe, but also very knowledgeable and also easy going- great attributes when dealing with 7 12 year olds. This was definitely an experience none of us will forget!! I highly recommend Island Vibes Tours!!
Captain Sean and co-captain Alpha were amazing!!! I wish we could do this everyday! The two of them together were funny and polite and our 3 young children loved them. We were treated like family! Do yourself a favor and book a tour with them and Island Vibes. I promise it will be the highlight of your vacation and worth every penny!!
This was an incredible half day adventure led by Waldy, our captain and Richard, our guide. We packed a full day of fun into four hours. These two men ran an incredibly professional, yet action packed experience. Our two boys ages 13 and 11 parasailed, went tubing, snorkeling, and had two other incredible adventures! I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience… The boat was a beautiful, clean well maintained boat. This was the best tour we’ve taken in Turks yet! Thank you for an incredibly memorable day!
Had a wonderful time with Sean and Dave! They were energetic and fun. They made sure we had a great time. First time parasailing for all of us. We felt very safe and comfortable with them. Thank you for a memorable trip!
This was the best activity we did our entire trip. Crazy dave was full of energy pumped all the kids up to try new things entire family enjoyed! All the men were so helpful and nice and made it an incredible experience. Def a must do while here.
Fantastic day, our crew was full of energy and kindness. It transformed the experience. We couldn’t have been happier. There was a scheduling snafu, and the management could not have been more responsive. This is definitely the kind of company you want to tour with.
Captains Sean and David are truly wonderful! Even with rain clouds and a bad forecast, they chased the sun and we had a great time! Snorkeling and parasailing! Lunch, drinks, dancing and an amazing time. Best comparison would be when we did The Fury in the Florida Keys. Loved this day
The whole family was very excited for our half day adventure and it did not disappoint! From the minute Captain Sean and “dancing” David arrived, The mood was set for a really fun experience. They were so so friendly, easy-going, and wonderful every step of the way. When one of us (ok it was me) got a little seasick, David was on the case and had me feeling better in no time. This was our first time on this island and making the arrangements from home is always a little bit of a leap of faith. This tour is worth the money and you’ll be very happy you signed on!
From start to finish, this was a fantastic water adventure! We booked the 1/2 day private adventure on Christmas afternoon, as a special treat for ourselves. What could be more fun and spectacular than parasailing? Going up twice, followed by snorkeling in the beautiful reef, followed by our newest favorite adventure--wing boarding (the kids described it as one of the most fun water activities they've ever done), followed by jumping off a grounded ship wreck, followed by a beautiful sunset cruise back to our beach house, past the gorgeous homes in the causeway (we skipped Iguana Island to allow more time for the other adventures). When we weren't playing in the water, we were being entertained by dancing David and his amazing rum punch. Be sure to ask for Sean (our captain who artfully and safely drove the boat) and David (who played along serving our 17-year-olds rum punch WITHOUT the rum!). I could not recommend Island Vibes more highly. They were easy to work with and reliable, and provided great recommendations on other activities and companies to work with. Thanks for an amazing experience!
We had an amazing day with Sean and David on a half day private tour. They picked us up at our beach outside a resort which was awesome and they started the day asking us how we wanted to spend it party day or relaxed. We decided on a party day and David turned up the music and started dancing at the front of the boat. We all had a great time snorkeling even seeing a reef shark, touring the shipwreck, fancy houses on the Leeward Canal and half Moon Bay with iguanas. Sean and David were fantastic and really made the trip fantastic would not hesitate to ride with them again.
The parasailing was so fun! Amazing views of the clear water and sean and david were so fun to ride with. They loved to dance and adventure with us. Very accommodating would recommend to anyone coming to Turks and Caicos!
What an amazing experience this crew was to us on Saturday Nov 14, 2020! They are fun and knowledgeable! Snorkeling was beyond belief, viewing the old ship wreck was beautiful, parasailing was a perfect experience for a first time person trying it out, but swimming with JoJo the wild dolphin was the most amazing experience of it all! This crew knew how to take it slow across the water and get him to come out and play! Swimming next to him was an experience of a life time that this crew made happen!
We had David, Sean and I think the other guys name was Oliver! Let me just start off by saying that I never ever write reviews, but I was so impressed that I just had to! We’ve done many different water excursions, tours and activities in the past, but no other place compares with the experience that island vibe tours gave us! The three guys who led our tour were super kind, patient, friendly, fun, responsible, safe, professional and so so funny! They made it their priority that we had the best experience possible! They packed in the fun with the most activities, supplied tons of food and drinks, took us to the most beautiful places, timed out the trip perfectly, made us laugh, had awesome music and danced with us as we all sang along! Some of the best memories our family has ever had on a vacation and it is all thanks to island vibe tours! By far the highlight of our trip!
These guys were the best! First we went on a boat ride, then did snorkeling in a beautiful coral reef in middle of the ocean, then parasailing, then Iguana Island, then this device that makes you feel like your swimming like a dolphin. But what really sets this experience apart was the good-hearted yet very professional men, David, Sean and Oliver, who made the day totally FUN! They were gracious, helpful, mask-wearing, experienced guides who kept us safe while giving us an amazing time. Highly recommend!
David was amazing and the trip was so much fun. Our daughter is 7 years old and pretty fussy and they were very accommodating and made the trip special for her.
