Great experience. Highly recommend. Well worth with if you want to see other areas without the cost of a private tour. We had Q(not sure how to spell his real name), as a captain and he was fantastic along with his crew. They were very knowledgeable about the island and took us in areas of the reef with cool features and lots of fish. All of the beaches they brought us to were absolutely stunning. To cap off the day, we found a live conch. Q then took it, split it open in front of everyone, then proceeded to cut it up for everyone to taste. We got to keep the shell after which is a plus. The crew also made sure everyone had fun, along with always making sure everyone had a drink of choice in their hands. The music was also fantastic. If I ever get a chance to do it again I will and I hope to have Q and his crew again.

We had the most wonderful day with Kwee and Thomas. They took us out to the reef for amazing snorkeling, kept the drinks flowing, cooked us a delicious BBQ right on the beach, and entertained us well. It truly was a dream day and would book it again in a heartbeat!!

Honestly it was the worst experience in my 2 weeks in turks. We booked the full day snorkeling tour and had 30 min of below average snorkeling. Our captain, Pop, and his mate were occupied getting a few girls that were on the boat drunk and dancing with them. The music was full blast from 9am to 4:30pm. Even after myself and some other guests asked to turn it down a bit we were ignored. There was a pregnant lady on board that asked to turn it down a bit and was told by the captain to stop complaining and he gave an already passed out girl more rum punch. It was not a snorkeling trip but was a party boat. We complained to the company via the hotel and thankfully had not pre paid so were not charged in the end. Shame because there is good snorkeling on turks, we just never got to see it.

We were so happy to do this tour and paid $270 with taxes. The food was delicious and the scenery was amazing. Were were on a small boat that wasn't very comfortable and had a broken ladder to get on so my older friend had a lot of trouble. The staff wasn't very helpful and didn't really entertain us or ensure we got on and off the boat for snorkeling well. They let us snorkel alone and then checked on us a bit but didn't guide us at all. They didn't tell us much about the islands and just parked the boat. They were nice but not really tour guides. All of the other boat trips I have taken have been better and less expensive so we were disappointed. For a full day tour we should have had cold water and a full bar instead of a few jugs of water (we ran out by 2pm) and a couple of jugs of rum punch and some beers. All in all I don't recommend them. I would go with another tour that has a better boat and plans a bit better.

All around good-we were fortunate to have a good group on our boat. Although the description said maximum of 15 people on the trip there were at least 28 plus 3 crew. It was a lot of fun and they made sure beer, water and rum punch was flowing. Crew was awesome! Was disappointed with boat- we were packed in with no lounge space at all. Slide was broken with 3 steps duck taped together- for the price I would have expected more. The destinations were great especially iguana island. Food was good and fresh too. If it weren't for the torrential downpour it would have been a fantastic. BBQ. We would do it again but our expectations were off based on the 15 person max description

Hello Tonya
Thank you for the review. We're happy you chose to go with us and had a great time! I just wanted to point out that the tour states a maximum number of 50 travelers, not 15. I'm sorry if there was a misunderstanding but it seems this affected your rating so I wanted to clear this up. Once again, thank you for choosing us and we hope to see you again in the future!

Caicos Dream Tours full day cruising with beach hopping, snorkeling, and BBQ lunch was awesome. I don't think we have ever enjoyed ourselves that much on an excursion of any kind. The captain and his assistance (forgot their names) were the best and they entertained us the whole day. I didn't want it to end. We saw Jojo the dolphin, we saw them dive for conch and demonstrated how to remove and prepare the conch. We were so impressed. But what really took the cake was the beaches. We were in AWE ...the water is crystal clear all the way out! I have never jumped in an ocean before and I did and enjoyed the time I was in there. Although I love snorkeling and I tried but the water was a little too wavy for me but I enjoyed watching others snorkel. The BBQ lunch was awesome. Truly good food. We would do this excursion again when we return. It was really worth the money.

Wonderful day on the ocean with Captain Tino and Big Lou ( those are the names I heard so hopefully I'm correct 😆). They were both very friendly and helpful. I loved all the different beautiful islands we stopped. Lunch at St George Cay was delicious! The snorkeling was awesome but not long enough in my opinion. We stopped at two different locations to snorkel. I would highly recommend this tour but just be aware not a lot of time is spent snorkeling.

Way too many people on this tour. Part of the reason it’s 6 hours is that you will spend time stopping at 4 different beach locations (twice) to pick up and drop off guests. A lot of wasted time. My guess is that there were 40-50 people on this trip. Felt like a herd of cattle most of the day. Water was pretty rough (not tour operator fault of course) but we needed to stay in a particular area to snorkel so as to not be in the way of other in-coming boats. With so many people at different skill levels, the choppy water and in a limited area, it was virtually impossible to snorkel without being kicked by another guest. Snorkel gear wasn’t the best - we needed to swap out two of our snorkels and a mask. If you are young and just want to drink a ton of rum punch and listen to loud, annoying music, this is the tour for you! But if you’re more about the snorkel experience itself where the tour company actually gets in the water with you and points out fish to you, I might try another company.

We enjoyed the trip a great deal. The lunch spot was really lovely, and my husband found a conch snorkeling. The captain prepared it for us on the boat. The snorkeling was fun, but this full day tour is not focused on snorkeling. If you want to spend the day in the water, this would not be for you.

Hi.
Is the full day cruise not available on weekends or mondays? I'm looking at taking the tour on any of these days: 8/6, 8/7, or 8/8.
Thank you.
