Highlight of our trip! - 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

Perfect Paddleboarding Experience - 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.)

Perfect TCI Activity! - 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!

100% recommend - absolutely perfect - 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 🤗
