Wonderful experience! We saw 2 stingrays, at least a dozen sea turtles, 4 juvenile sharks, a puffer fish, barracuda, and 4 juvenile sharks! Our guide Ted was just the best. He was incredible at finding creatures and describing their behaviors as well as assisting members of our group who had never been kayaking before. And while he was doing all of this simultaneously he had an incredible and excited attitude! Ted was just amazing!
Thank you so much for the amazing review! It sounds like you had an incredible day exploring the beautiful waters and wildlife of Turks and Caicos with Ted.

Tour was good. Lots of paddling just to get to the area. Guide was good but obviously very well rehearsed. We did get to see a lot though. Sharks, turtles and Conch. We had issues with out travel and their scheduling was very flexible allowing us to change a couple of times without issues.

We did this same tour last year though Clear Wave. We met at Blue Haven Marina. We were all connected to the guide who towed us with his little boat across the channel. Well, this time, I was expecting the same thing. We got there, it was the way windier than last year and they are no longer at the Marina. They said they could not use it anymore. They made us row across the channel. It was scary and I will never do it again. We made it and survived but it was extremely unnerving. Especially with the wind and big boats coming at us. Other tours were towing their guests. The girl told us that we were towed last year because we were further away... I did not see anyone else having to row across the channel. Thank goodness we are all strong and managed but it was not as expected and I already paid too much money to cancel. Next time, I will ask more questions. It is unfortunate because last year was perfect.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that this year’s experience felt different from what you expected based on your visit with us last year. Since then, we have moved to a new launch location that is directly across from the mangroves. This change was made to improve the overall experience, shorten the route to the mangrove area, and make the tour more efficient for guests. We understand that returning guests may have expected the previous Blue Haven Marina setup, and we apologize for any confusion this caused. That being said, this is a kayak tour, so guests should expect to kayak as part of the experience. While towing may have been used in the past due to the previous launch location being farther away, the new location was chosen so guests can kayak directly across in a more natural and efficient way. Our team also has support available if needed, and safety remains our top priority at all times. We understand that the wind and boat traffic made the crossing feel uncomfortable for you, and we’re sorry that part of the experience felt unnerving. We appreciate you joining us again and sharing your thoughts. We will continue working on making our communication as clear as possible for returning guests so expectations are better understood before arrival.
Really great tour! It's in a small group, which we prefer over being with 20 people. We were with 6! We got to see jelly fish, conch and turtles. Romeo and Dominic were fun guides who made our 4 year old feel very welcome. If needed, the guides can tie you to their kayaks to cross the channel so don't worry about them not towing the whole group behind a jetski like other tours, you won't need it! We would definitely recommend them!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your small-group Clear Wave TCI clear kayak tour in Turks and Caicos. Romeo and Dominic will be thrilled to know they helped make the experience fun, comfortable, and welcoming for your family, especially your 4-year-old. Seeing jellyfish, conch, and sea turtles in the beautiful mangroves of Providenciales is always a special part of the adventure. We’re also glad you felt supported crossing the channel — our guides are always there to assist when needed and make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Thank you again for recommending us. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable Turks and Caicos eco tour!
Amazing experience! Dominic & Romeo were the best! Was one of the coolest experiences ever! Seeing turtles, birds, live conch and more as well as learning all about the mangrove and the ecosystem it provides for. It is a living system that needs to be cared and nurtured for. A really great tour, chill vibe, and overall great experience.
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a memorable experience with Dominic and Romeo. They’ll be so happy to know they helped make your Clear Wave TCI tour fun, relaxing, and educational. Seeing sea turtles, birds, live conch, and other marine life up close is one of the best parts of our clear kayak tour in Turks and Caicos. We’re also glad you enjoyed learning about the mangroves and the important role they play in protecting the ecosystem here in Providenciales. Thank you again for choosing Clear Wave TCI. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable Turks and Caicos eco adventure!
Operator nice friendly and good. Boats were fine, but not as “clear” as the names suggested. We saw lots of interesting marine life!
Thank you for your kind review! We’re glad to hear our team was friendly and that you enjoyed seeing lots of interesting marine life during your clear kayak tour in Turks and Caicos. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the clarity of the kayaks. Because our kayaks are used daily in saltwater and shallow mangrove conditions, they do experience normal wear over time. We regularly maintain them and replace our clear kayaks often, with new kayaks already on the way as part of our ongoing upgrades. Thank you again for choosing us, and we’re happy you were still able to enjoy the beautiful marine life, mangroves, and clear waters of Providenciales!

We work hard to create a safe, relaxed, and unforgettable experience exploring the beautiful mangroves, clear waters, and natural marine life around Providenciales. We truly appreciate you choosing us and hope to welcome you back again soon for another Turks and Caicos adventure!
