The Best - We went on the 4 hr kayak eco tour with Big Blue Collective. It was by far the best kayaking experience we have had in Turks and Caicos. Our guide Mikey was very knowledgeable in marine biology and shared lots of interesting information with his curious kayakers. He spotted the anticipated wildlife that we hoped to see. Topped off with a swim in the crystal clear waters of a deserted beach and the delightful snack of fresh fruit and local baked goods was a bonus. The marina and the kayaks were very clean and comfortable. Thank you Mikey and Big Blue Collective!

Mangroves and Turtles and a Lemon Shark, oh my! - We had a fabulous tour led by the incomparable Mikey. It was a fun and fascinating tour starting with a challenging (at times) paddle due to wind, followed by serene mangroves, turtles, a lemon shark, heron, iguanas, bright blue sea, white sand, delicious snacks and upside down jellyfish. This tour had it all. We highly recommend.

Relaxed, Beautiful scenery, and Turtles Turtles Turtles! - Hugo was a fabulous guide! We enjoyed a quieter tour and saw tons of turtles and a couple of baby lemon sharks. Amazing experience we won’t forget. Thank you, Big Blue Collective for offering a less “rowdy” experience!

A perfect kayak trip - These guys were amazing! I haven't had the best kayaking experiences before - this trip changed my mind about kayaking. The guides were very supportive - we felt safe despite our inexperience. They were also super informative about the local flora and fauna and history of the islands, not to mention good natured. They claimed it was perfect kayaking weather and I believe them. Gave us a great dinner recommendation to boot.

Great experience with our guide! - Janie, our guide, was top notch! A marine biologist, she is super knowledgeable about the local ecosystem and took us on an amazing tour to Iguana Island and through the mangroves, where we spotted lots of turtles and fish. Highly recommend!!!

This is the tour operator to use! - This was so much better than the snorkel trip we did a year ago with another company! Having only four of us on board a small boat vs 20 packed on a large boat made it very personal. Having Mikey as our expert guide made all the difference. He was terrific snorkeling with us, pointing out what to see (turtles, stingray, fish, squid), while on the big boat trip we did last year they just told us to jump in the water by ourselves. Then Mikey led us to the much less traveled side of Iguana Island to point out more interesting stuff. Next year when we return we will definitely use Big Blue Collective again!

Great kayak tour with Ketlyn! - My best friend and I loved the 4-hr Eco Tour with Ketlyn! We saw sea turtles, a lemon shark, and lots of iguanas. He was a very patient and informative guide, who gave us plenty of time to enjoy going at our own pace, including wading in the beautiful turquoise water. We never felt rushed and we enjoyed every minute! The snacks were great and we appreciated the company's commitment to sustainability, including using reusable water bottles for us, not plastic bottles. Ketlyn was such a nice person and we highly recommend a tour with him if you want a fun, informative, and relaxing kayak trip!

Great tour with Mike! - Mike and Senley provided an amazing and informative experience! Highly recommended! We did the 4 hour kayak and while it might be a challenge for non-kayakers, it was a great time! We saw lemon sharks and so many turtles in the mangroves and Iguana island was so fun!

Amazing ecotourism kayak adventure - Absolutely amazing and highly recommended. We saw lemon sharks, sea turtles and iguanas. Mikey did a fantastic job telling us detailed stories of the history of the island and the biology. The mangroves were stunning as was the beach. Would strongly suggest you ask for him and Sendly. Will do it again.
