BEST DEAL around and it was an AMAZING day! We were staying at Beaches and walk right up the sand to board the boat at the Alexandra resort. The captain and crew were truly special guys. They were really patient and wanted everyone to have a memorable experience.
The good the bad and the ugly. Per the ocean report it was a calm day. However, by the reef was pretty rough water. My daughter and I were very sea sick, but we were the only ones (thank goodness for everyone else). The crew were so concerned and kept checking to see if there was anything they could do for us and how we were feeling. This is definitely a FUN experience, with loud music and drinking. (If you want quiet/serene book a private). However, as a non-drinker, single mom, with 2 children I felt very uncomfortable. The beach stops (on dry, stable ground) was my favorite part. We visited 3 beautiful beaches and got lots of photos and memories. The picnic was fresh fruit, and ham or turkey sandwiches. I can't speak on the sandwiches, but they appeared to be well received. The fruit was fresh and there was an endless supply of water, soda, beer and rum punch.
I priced so many tours. This one was the cheapest and had same day availability. I forgot they also had a slide on the boat, which was a lot of fun for my son (he didn't get sea sick).
Sometimes you "get what you pay for." This time you get more then that. If you are looking for a snorkeling tour in Turks and Caicos stop here, you will not be disappointed.
And, if you are not a strong swimmer do not worry. There were lines off the boat you could hold on too and the captain was feeding the fish near the boat so one of the passengers who was afraid to let go of the ladder could still see fish.
Thank you guys for a special day.
