Highlights
  • Jack’s Shack Beach Bar & Grill - Our whale watching adventure gives you a front row seat to one of the most impressive shows on earth. You might be lucky enough to witness these beautiful, impressive and gentle humpback whales put on a repertoire of mind blowing behaviours ranging from males’ acrobatic competition for a female, a single male’s haunting pursuit of a mate or a whale mother’s gentle educational displays to a newly arrived calf.

Seeing these amazing creatures live, often at an arm’s length, has changed the lives of many people: let it touch your heart and enrich your way of seeing the world! In water encounters are possible when sea and behavioural conditions are ideal.

Please note that this tour is in Grand Turk (NOT PROVIDENCIALES). If you are vacationing in
Providenciales there are regular return flights between the islands.

Additional Information

Our excursions take place on a specially designed 46’ Power Catamaran, equipped with two Yamaha f250hp outboard engines. The craft is outfitted with abundant seating, varying shaded and sunlit spots, a raised flybridge for efficient whale spotting, along with a marine toilet and Public Announcement Microphone for comprehensible tour commentary by our resident marine biologist. We also have a hydrophone installed that we can lower into the water to hopefully catch the whales’ tunes.

Embark on the ship at the shore and then we’ll head to a zone known for numerous whale sightings for some potential whale activity. Once we spot whales, we approach their location cautiously, ensuring not to disturb or alarm them. At times, they might come close to our boat and stay for a time. In such cases, one of our guides will step into the water and, if you wish, you can join him for a closer viewing and perhaps capture some images or film to commemorate our whale visitors.

  • Maximum weight 300lbs

Once in a Lifetime - We had a fantastic experience with Jo and Rosalie on our Private Whale Watching Tour. We flew over from Provo to do this experience and it did not disappoint. Jo was fantastic at helping us to coordinate details for arrival, pick up, lunch, and departure. She was also incredibly thoughtful thinking ahead about our kids and what would make it a fun time for them - even going so far as to secure a vessel with a slide they would enjoy. Just really fantastic service. The boat was great. Spacious, built for many many more than just the five of us, but we had the full service staff on board. Lunch was great and we had many sightings, great interactions and a smooth experience. Glad we were on a boat with just the five of us, if there had been more we wouldn't have been able to get in the water with the whales at all. As for our whale watching experience, it was truly once in a lifetime. We saw whale activity from the boat - flukes, flippers, breeches even. The marine biologist even put the sonar on microphone so we could hear the males singing. Frankie is an excellent and experienced captain who was able to spot and approach the humpbacks respectfully and skillfully. We certainly had to be patient and had to try more than once but were rewarded with an astonishing opportunity to snorkel with a mother an calf for over 15 mins.

Grand Turk Whale Watching - Frankie worked really hard to find whatles for us to see during our shore excursion from a cruise ship. I was so happy that we didn't go on the packed boat from the cruise line because they never found them, which was our experience the first time at this port. Highly recommend Captain Frankie and this charter.
