This was truly a lovely, carefree day surrounded by beauty and sea creatures. We chose the standup paddle boards and were towed behind a jet ski out to the mangrove, which was fun itself. We saw lemon sharks, different fish, turtles, conch shell creatures, jellyfish and birds. Our guide shared lots of useful information and had a wonderful attitude. We would highly recommend this tour to others.
Great fun to paddle through the mangroves. Be sure to bring sunscreen-you will be moving slowly in direct sun. Great trip-our guide was awesome. Saw tons of turtles and a few lemon sharks. Lots of smaller fish, too.
Our best excursion in Provo. Our guide was informative and friendly. We saw numerous sea turtles, a ray, and some herons.
This was a really great tour! We learned a ton about the Mangroves and saw two baby sharks, three turtles and a bunch of fish. Our guide was super informative and very friendly!
Mark took us on a wonderful tour of the mangroves and surrounding area. We learned a lot about the ecosystem and marine life.
Mark gave us one of the best experiences on Turks and Caicos. Highly knowledgeable and so personable. The trip through the mangroves gave us the opportunity to see green sea turtles, lemon shark, puffer fish, to name a few. We enjoyed relaxing in the mangroves just chatting and taking in the moment. Would do it again in a heartbeat! This was our first time on the stand-up board and it was the best way to go through the mangroves and see the sights. Highly recommend!
I've contacted the operator due to bad weather (rain, strong winds) via phone and messaging. No one has replied or got back to me until it was 20 minutes past the activity start time. So I missed the activity but they still charged me full price. They promised to look into it and get back to me again and never did. Bottom line: seems like a money grab.
Chris was a wonderful tour guide. It was a beautiful and peaceful paddle boarding experience. We learned a ton about the local eco system. This is his passion, to teach about the connectivity of the world.
Mark was a wonderful guide who shared his knowledge and passion for the ecosystem. We saw turtles, a lemon shark, a barracuda, and several puffer/spine fish and grouper. Learned a lot about the mangroves and their roles in the ecosystem.
Mark did an awesome job. We really enjoyed our tour. We learned a lot about the mangroves, turtles, and wild life in the area. Super chill guide and we were made to feel comfortable and welcome. I recommend this tour.
Amazing experience in the beautiful mangroves with mark. We saw over 30 turtles and baby sharks and learned all about their magical habitat. My entire family absolutely loved it!
We did this SUP excursion with our three teenage kids. It was awesome. Mark from Denmark is super chill and knowledgeable, and he made sure we saw a bit of everything - turtles, lemon sharks, barracudas, even a stingray! We came away from the excursion with a great appreciation for the ecology of the mangroves. The SUPs can be a bit of workout depending on the tide and the wind, so I was glad we didn't plan anything else that was very active for the day.
Mark was a great guide. He was a lot of fun and very patient with beginner paddle boarders. I learned a lot about mangroves!
The Turtle Eco-Tour on stand up paddleboards was incredible! Mark was our guide and was so patient and helpful as it was our first time ever paddleboarding! We were lucky to be the only ones on this tour and had an amazing experience. Mark is very knowledgeable and dedicated. You can tell he truly loves educating people and it was taken very well. We've been spreading the word about these tours as everyone should do one while in Turks and Caicos! Definitely a highlight of our trip. He even helped us get some awesome pictures/videos of the sealife, which I really appreciated.
From the very beginning, this tour is just fun. We paddled through the mangroves and saw multiple fish species, birds, sharks, and turtles. The tour is active without being too much and suitable for inexperienced paddlers. The tour time changes daily depending on the tides, so plan accordingly.
The tour Guide made us feel safe and always entertained . Throughout the tour Mark was always teaching us about all the surroundings.
Excellent experience! Our guide was an expert at spotting the turtles and other wildlife. He took all the best pictures for our memories of the day we surely could not have captured. Great communication was a bonus
A little trouble finding the meeting point but otherwise a great experience! Mark is very knowledgeable & gave us a wonderful tour. Would definitely recommend this!
They were a no show without any notice of cancellation Tried to call multiple times with no answer The review process is painful as well
Paddleboard tour was amazing. We saw endless amount of sea turtles, plus lemon sharks, rays, and other fish. Our tour guide, Mark (from Denmark), was super knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the ecosystem and leading a relaxed, interesting tour. Mark also let us stay in the Mangroves an extra hour, and was super patient and kind. Couldn't recommend this tour more highly. (Note that this tour operator does not offer transportation, so best to book that in advance if you don't have a car.)
Mark was a fantastic host! Knowledgeable, passionate about the topic, and clearly enthusiastic about his craft.
This was our 3rd time on this tour and it was just as wonderful as it has been in the past! Mark was a wonderful guide and kept my kids (9&14) engaged and entertained! The mangroves were beautiful and we saw lots of turtles, a baby lemon shark and so much more! A perfect afternoon activity!
This was a great time , our tour guide mark was very knowledgeable about mangroves and all the see creatures . We saw a ton of turtles ,a few small sharks and a few barracuda .would definitely recommend booking this tour through this company
Incredible!! Mark from Denmark stole the show!! Not only was it a fantastic adventure.. Mark was incredibly knowledgeable and fun to be with… would do this trip With him again !!
If you only do one activity while in Turks & Caicos, make it this one. The booking and arrangements process was easy, and the team were extremely accommodating - when another group pulled out the tour still went ahead with just me, even tho there is normally a 2 person minimum. The guide was friendly, helpful and informative - explaining everything that we saw, and spotting loads of turtles, and some juvenile sharks, amongst loads of other wildlife. As advised, you get a MUCH better view from an SUP than from a kayak. From collection to drop off the tour lasted around 2 hours - and really made my trip! A huge thank you 🤗
Really enjoyed the paddle boarding experience. Very easy and beautiful. Lots of turtles and baby lemon sharks. Did not disappoint! One of our favorite trips ever!
This was a great tour, exceptional guide Mark is. Very knowledgeable and patient. Not only did we learn about the baby sharks and turtles we leaned how to properly paddle safely. Great Experience!!
The group was small and made the experience personable. We saw so many baby turtles and some baby sharks. We also learned about the ecosystem which was super cool. Definitely worth the experience if you want to see some wildlife. The length is perfect. Plenty of time to see some wildlife but not to the point where you’re bored or tired.
Wonderful afternoon! Saw many turtles, sharks, and cool fish. Excellent guide! Paddle boarding was the way to go!
Had a blast cruising through the mangroves on a SUP with guide Mark from Denmark! He was awesome and took the time educating our small group of 5 (paddle boarders and kayakers) on the ecosystem and sea life. We saw sea turtles, lemon sharks, fishes, and conch! I appreciate that Mark took us through the mangroves alway from the other tours allowing us time to ask plenty of questions and see the beauty of nature. It was relaxing and fun!
Worth it!! Saw turtles and baby sharks! Water was so clear! Our family had a great time. Our tour guide, Mark, was very knowledgeable and made the experience fun!
Had a great time. Standing up was not as easy as it looked, but there are multiple ways to steer it even while sitting. Mark from Denmark was great, kept it interesting. The water was crystal clear, and we saw plenty of turtles. For the longest time we didn't see any sharks, but towards the end they came in abundance and it was beautiful to see. Fun with the family, this was a great excursion overall and highly recommended
Too many turtles to count and several lemon sharks. Our guide, Mark from Denmark, was great and provided lots of info about the wild sea animals, mangroves, the islands and several jokes…..
The Turtle Eco Tour was the highlight of our trip to Provo!!! Mark was an amazing guide whose insight and knowledge of the marine life and natural vegetation in the Park was very impressive. We saw turtles, lemon sharks and barracuda. He loves his job and loves sharing it with others. When you visit TCI put this tour on your "must do" list. It will not disappoint!!!
This was our favorite excursion to date! None of us had been on a paddle board before and we all conquered it with relative ease. You can stand, kneel or sit on your board! The views into the water are much better from the paddle boards. Our guide was patient and knowledgeable - he let our daughter (11) pluck a conch out of the water and that was super cool. We saw at least 50 turtles, sharks, other fish. Take the morning outing!
Stand-up paddleboards are the way to go to see marine life and learn about the importance of the mangroves. We had a great time and saw a ton of sea turtles and a few small lemon sharks. I would recommend trying out a paddleboard before doing this if you have any issues with balance. SUPs provide a better view of the marine life than a kayak but there were people in our group who took unexpected swims as they navigated the roots of the mangroves. Would also recommend investing in a waterproof cell phone case if you plan to bring one. It saved my husband's phone!
My friend and I came to this experience without any experience. She did amazing! I’m post COVID (2 months) and still don’t have my energy back but Mark was very sweet and pulled me all the way and gave the VIP treatment. He did an amazing job educating everyone on the importance of protecting the eco system and just seeing the turtles and sharks was amazing. Would definitely recommend this tour.
One of the best experiences ever! I loved this activity. The water is gorgeous, so surreal. Mark, our tour guide was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and patient with everyone.
Kristin was very nice in the morning when I called to confirm that we wanted SUP boards. Mark was awesome. This was a small tour and he did an excellent job of educating individuals of all ages on the ecosystem of the mangroves. From a refresher on the paddle boards to getting us back to our condo was a 5 star experience. The views were amazing and we were able to see several species of sharks, sea turtles. Also some barracuda and yellow fin. Unforgettable time with my 19 year old daughter. Thank you. Hope to see you all again.
Excellent and knowledgeable tour guide. Saw more turtles than we had even expected, small sharks and beautiful mangroves. Absolutely worth booking!
We did the eco mangrove tour on kayaks. Mark was absolutely amazing. He helped us every step of the way. We saw baby sharks and turtles and even a puffer fish. Thank you for towing us Mark! We will always remember this experience and will do it again when we visit Turks and Caicos.
What a wonderful experience! Grateful for our guide, Mark, who guided our party of 12 through mangroves to enjoy green sea turtles and hawksbill sea turtles. A few juvenile lemon and black-tipped sharks could be seen in shallow pools and we were introduced to a conch. The tour is a true adventure. The grandparents shared a two-person kayak while the rest of us navigated by paddle board. Highly enjoyed by the entire party and would book again on a future visit!
Awesome tour. Tour guides were fantastic and helpful in navigsting through the mangroves. Saw baby sharks.
This tour was amazing ! We got lucky enough to see tons of gorgeous majestic turtles and sharks ! The guides were helpful and friendly , took tons of pics for us ! Define recommend
Awesome excursion and excellent customer service! My first time on a paddleboard, had so much fun. Thank you Chris & Mawi!
This tour had an option between paddle-boarding or kayaking to a nearby shallow area to view turtles and baby sharks. My friend and I chose to kayak since we wanted something more stable to cross the deeper areas. This was my very first time kayaking so it was a bit of a rough start. However, the tour guides were very helpful and patient with us. By the end of the excursion I was a lot more comfortable when heading back. We were able to see a couple turtles and few baby sharks which was pretty cool. Overall, really cool experience.
What an awesome experience this was Alan and Mark made our trip. It was really cool learning about the eco system and they did a great job helping us spot species. We got to have sea turtles, baby lemon sharks and a variety of fish swimming only inches under our paddle boards. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience. You should absolutely book this.
Tour guide was awesome and very passionate about the marine life in the mangroves. Got to see a turtle, plenty of conch, barracuda, and clear waters. Chose the kayak which was nice. You have to take a cab to the location but was worth it.
First time paddle boarding and the guys instructions made it super easy. Saw baby lemon sharks, turtles, conch etc. Fun and educational trip.
Everything was great on our mangrove tour. We saw several sharks and tons of turtles. It was easy to paddle board over to the mangroves and it was even a windy day. We had our two teenage boys with us and they also enjoyed it. The leader was super knowledgeable. We would recommend this trip.
