Come experience and see some of Grand Turk Island's beautiful marine life. Enjoy a guided snorkeling excursion at 2 of the best Grand Turk snorkeling sites, the famous Coral Gardens and The Amazing Wall.
Just yards from your cruise ship pier in Grand Turk, your friendly snorkeling shore excursion staff will be waiting for you to get checked in. Then you will be taken by snorkel boat to the nearby shallow coral reef to see some of the incredible marine life.
The Turks and Caicos Islands are home to the third largest barrier reef in the world. As you make your way to your first stop, you can enjoy the beautiful turquoise waters of Grand Turk and the beautiful coastline. Your first stop is the shallow reef called Coral Gardens. Here you will be able to see various bright colorful reef fish and a variety of soft and hard corals. Should the weather permit, you might even be able to see one of the reef's resident nurse sharks.
Your next stop is at the Amazing Wall. This is a coral shelf where the depth starts at just 20-ft then drops to 70-ft, then another drop off at 700-ft and finally an astounding fall off to 7000-ft and beyond. The views at these drops are breathtaking. You will be able to see marine life such as soft and hard corals, sea fans, colorful reef fish of all sizes and perhaps even a few turtles.
After the Amazing Wall you will take a 30-35 minute ride to Gibbs Cay, which is an uninhabited island with powdery white sand beaches and offers the deserted island feel you often dream of experiencing when vacationing. Also known as Stingray City, this the ideal place to encounter the Southern Stingrays that come looking for a "fish treat handout" from the guides. The shallow, warm water is perfect for you to kneel on the sandy bottom, stand or even snorkel above to watch and interact with the rays.
On the way to Gibbs Cay your captain will dive for a live conch and then prepare a fresh conch salad for you to enjoy.
When your adventure comes to an end, the boat and guide will take you back to the meeting point next to your Grand Turk cruise pier after your fun day shore excursion.
