Get away from the crowds and join Exclusive Escapes for a small-group snorkeling experience designed around comfort, safety, and open-water exploration. Board one of our vessels directly from Grand Turk’s beachfront and enjoy a relaxed tour with friends or family.
The experience begins with snorkeling at a single designated reef site, selected by the captain based on real-time sea conditions to provide optimal visibility and safety. This reef stop features coral formations and marine life representative of Grand Turk’s surrounding waters.
Following the snorkeling portion, the tour continues to Gibbs Cay—an uninhabited island known for its powdery white sand and shallow turquoise flats—where guests can enjoy time in the water alongside stingrays that naturally inhabit the area.
Along the way, guests may observe the captain free diving for live conch. Upon arrival at Gibbs Cay, our team will conduct a live conch demonstration and prepare fresh conch salad to enjoy.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Check-in is at the Grand Turk Local Village, behind the yellow picnic tables in the sand next to the public restrooms. Look for the multi-colored, sea-weathered building. The walk from the cruise center takes approximately 10 minutes on soft sand.
What to expect
Following the snorkeling portion of the tour, we continue with a scenic 30–35-minute boat ride to Gibbs Cay. This uninhabited island, known for its powdery white sand and shallow turquoise flats, offers the secluded island experience many envision when vacationing in Grand Turk.
Along the way to Gibbs Cay, our captain will free dive for live conch.
Once at the island, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with the stingrays that gracefully glide through the shallow waters. Gibbs Cay provides a rare and unforgettable encounter with these magnificent creatures in their natural environment.
