We do not stop at both Little Water Cay and Half Moon Bay. The location chosen is dependent on the weather. At Half Moon Bay our guides will take you ashore and take you on a nature tour, a guided walking tour of this natural sandbar. This area which is home to a large family of Native Rock Iguanas, is surrounded by a series of sandbars resulting in a shallow lagoon area at the back. Our guides will take you for a walk along the lagoon, explain to you how the sandbar was formed and give you a bit more information about the area, history of the islands etc. During this part of the nature walk guides will point out baby turtles, baby sharks, bonefish, barracuda, mojarra and sometimes rays and flamingoes. Alternatively you can simply relax on the beach or swim in the shallows.
We do not stop at both Little Water Cay and Half Moon Bay. The location chosen is dependent on the weather. Both Islands are home to the native Rock Iguanas but Little Water Cay is where the National Trust operate their guided tours at a cost of $40 cash per person.

The experience was amazing! The men navigating the whole excursion were incredibly helpful and accommodating. They kept the drinks flowing, brought out food and snacks, and even extended our time on the boat longer than expected. I highly recommend hiring this company for your catamaran trip, and definitely tip them well given how much effort they put into making the day unforgettable. Btw, bring sunscreen that is SAFE for the reef.
Took the afternoon sailing on 8/14/26 with a party of 4. From start the finish the experience was so amazing! Entire crew went out of their way to show us a good time. I’ve been on plenty of sailings and what set this one apart was that it never felt rushed in any sense. Felt like we were cruising the entire time and had plenty of time at the multiple stops. If that wasn’t enough, after the ride we realized that we had left behind a Yeti cooler (and we all know that isn’t cheap) and after reaching out to the company, they promptly responded that they had it and it would be ready for pickup at the next docking. As soon as the boat docked the crew member was already holding it out for us. Truly made our day and cannot recommend this tour company more! Will definitely be returning!!
The crew was the absolute best. They made the experience so fun!! We had an amazing day in the water and on gorgeous beaches. This is a good trip for families for sure. If you are looking for something for adults only I would look elsewhere. The snorkeling was very cool but they have you stay as a group which feels very crowded in the water. We had a great time and can’t thank the crew enough.
Such a great experience. The crew was very helpful and funny as well as informative. We did the 4 hour half day so the snorkel was only 45 minutes. We did also see iguana island and half moon bay. Definitely recommend.
Excellent tour and super nice guys! We saw all kinds of fish and the rum pouch was delicious! Would use these guys again!
It was a fantastic experience!! The guides were so friendly and helpful! We had a good amount of time at each stop and we didn’t feel rushed at all. 10/10 would recommend!
Fantastic experience. Organized from the pick up on the beach to the very end. Captain and his crew were super friendly and accommodating! They made sure we were safe during the snorkeling. Always made sure we had enough water and rum punch. Will use them again!!
It was a beautiful day. The staff was super nice and made sure that everybody was engaged. They offered lots of help good direction and safety for all guests on the boat. They were very informative about the facts of the Turks and Caicos and the island and what they had to offer. It was a pleasurable day and we would definitely do this tour again with this group. I know it’s hard to pick from, but this was our favorite excursion we did as a family on this vacation T&C 2026
Awesome. 3 stops. Snorkeling. Iguana beach —half moon bay. Nice sand. Cool cave. Great crew. Was great.
Omg! This is a must! The guys love what they do and seriously made this, by far, one of the best excursions my daughter and I have been on! They even took photos of every single family on board! What an experience!
