While Grace Bay Beach regularly tops “world’s best beach” lists, the real treasures of Turks and Caicos lie beyond the resort shorelines.
Our half-day snorkeling tour and private charters unlock access to pristine locations that most visitors never see – secluded coves, untouched beaches, and vibrant coral reefs accessible only by boat.
Conch Bar Beach: A Private Paradise
Located on the eastern shore of Providenciales, Conch Bar Beach remains largely undiscovered by tourists. This two-mile stretch of powdery white sand is backed by native vegetation and offers excellent shelling opportunities. The shallow, protected waters make it perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
The Sandbar at Pine Cay
During low tide, a magnificent sandbar emerges between Pine Cay and Water Cay, creating a temporary island paradise. Guests can walk on the sandbar, enjoy 360-degree water views, and experience the unique sensation of being surrounded by ocean. This natural phenomenon is only accessible by boat and timing is everything.
Little Water Cay (Iguana Island)
Home to the endangered Turks and Caicos rock iguana, this small cay offers nature enthusiasts a chance to observe these prehistoric creatures in their natural habitat. The short nature trail provides stunning views and excellent photo opportunities.
Smith’s Reef: Snorkeling Paradise
While some visitors reach Smith’s Reef from shore, approaching by boat allows access to the reef’s most pristine sections. The coral formations here are among the healthiest in the islands, teeming with tropical fish, rays, and occasionally dolphins.
Chalk Sound: Nature’s Swimming Pool
This stunning lagoon features dozens of small rocky islands scattered across brilliant turquoise water. The unique limestone formations and incredible water clarity make this one of the most photographed locations in the Caribbean.
Why Choose a Boat Tour?
Vehicle access is limited or impossible to many of these locations. Our experienced captains know the best routes, optimal timing for tides and weather, and the most spectacular viewing spots at each destination.
