The Conch Farm is located on the far tip of Provo. If you do not have your own rented car, no need to go there as the cab fare will 5x more than the 10 minute tour. What I found most interesting is when I pulled up in the parking lot. I saw a tiny hill and couldn't figure out... more

For $10 a person I expected something a little more than 15 minutes of walk around a storm damaged conch farm. All we saw was several outdoor holding tanks for conch and two conch in a wooden box. more

Admittedly, this is probably the only thing about Provo that makes the island unique, so it's worth seeing for that alone. The tour was fun and informative, but the farm is still showing effects of Hurricane Ike, so things look a bit shabby. Meeting Jerry and Sally was great fun for the kids. It made me feel kinda guilty about... more

The Conch Farm is a fun little stop in Provo! It's the only one of its kind in the world, and they show you how they harvest them from babies to adults. They even have two "trained" conchs: Sally & Jerry, who will come out & say hi. Gift shop has every conch nick-nack you could want, and they also... more

I visited the Conch Farm in May, and it was an interesting experience. It was a little weird that some businessman is farming these poor little animals, but then again they do it with salmon, chicken, and on and on. While it was interesting, it was bizarre. The coolest part of the tour was when he held a live old... more

We took our 7 year old and 3 year old there last week with another family with a 2 young kids. It was interesting for adults and kids. They got to pick up the shells and see conchs that were 6 months old to 6 years old. Whole tour only takes about 20-30 minutes. Nearby is the new mini-golf course... more

The drive there was a bit rough down a dusty dirt road, but the experience was wonderful. It's a very sophisticated operation. The tour and guide were very informative and friendly. We learned about the process from egg masses, feeding stations, outdoor tanks, and open sea beds. Also about the commercial aspects of their business. Our daughters (ages 2 and... more

Having been preoccupied with the conservation of nature and ecosystems for a large part of my adult life, I was delighted to see the activities of Caicos Conch Farm at first hand. Not only is it proving the benefits of ecotourism, it is also a number 1 attraction in the success story of the booming island of Providenciales. more
