My wife and I had an absolute wonderful time. The tour guides were fun, knowledgeable, and attentive. Half Moon Bay was absolutely beautiful.
Very good! It met our expectations! The snorkeling was beautiful, the boats are very nice, the crew was excellent! We went to the iguana island, the sea was beautiful, there are like sandbars of crystal clear water! It is worth it, the tour takes half a day
I appreciated the communication from the staff. They always returned my calls and emails. There was small snafu with the pick-up, so make sure you're on the same page with where to meet, but it was rectified quickly and we were on our way. We had an experience with a playful dolphin, trying to race our boat which made for some great videos. Our guides were super enthusiastic and knowledgeable and made the whole morning fun. We got some great pics snorkeling and had a nice time relaxing in the water before returning to our resort.
Memories made!!! Our private boat tour with Caicos Dream Tours surpassed every expectation. Captain Licky and our snorkel tour guide, Enzo (I’m sure I spelled it wrong) were an incredible duo. They both were professional, fun, and invested in making sure everyone in our group had the best experience! We experienced snorkeling, Iguana Island, Noah’s Ark and the food was amazing!! I can't thank them enough for making us feel at home! I highly recommend!! Worth every penny!!!
WOW - what an amazing time just hanging with the crew themselves!!! Oh and then the snorkeling and Iguana Island was icing on the cake!!! We would HIGHLY recommend to anyone who wants to have a great time while exploring parts of T & C you can only get to by boat!!! 5 stars for sure!!!
Great crew, great experience for all. Saw JoJo the Dolphin, lemon sharks, plenty of iguana and fish. Crew was great with little kids.
Book it ! You won’t regret! The morning half day was much better and the crew was fantastic. We got to snorkel, which for a first timer like me was manageable with Captain Kew’s advice. The iguana island stop and general ambiance was very good and we all got back on shore very happy !
The tour and crew were great. Iguana Island is beautiful. I would have given this 5 stars except our tour was cut short. We were at our meeting spot on time. Others not so much which cost us an hour of our tour. We ended up with a 3 hour tour because another family was extremely late. We detoured twice from the main hub to pick up late riders and so all of our stops were shortened. The tour operator should be more considerate to full paying guests who were on time.
Hard to complain. I'm not sure this is the right tour I'm reviewing. Our was called "Turks & Caicos Snorkel Cruise"... but we did do a morning cruise, went to a reef and then went to Half Moon Bay (Iguana Island). What others have said about bringing a towel and clothes that can get wet. You will get wet. The boat we were on had two bathrooms, which is very convenient. If you're like me and your butt itches when it's been wet, then I strongly recommend bringing dry underwear and a change of clothes. Half Moon Bay is absolutely idyllic, although it gets very very hot. I would also say you get a TON of sun exposure, so if you are sun-sensitive like me, make sure to bring tons of sunscreen, a shirt, a hat. You can absolutely get underneath the canopy on the boat and stay out of the sun, but not if you want to see things or explore. We saw a total of 3-5 iguanas. Most people didn't even seem interested in finding iguanas. The lunch is minimal but passible for what it is. They are quite generous with the rum punch and the other liquor drinks. I am perhaps a bit spoiled because I'm PADI (Scuba) certified and have dived in many places around the world. This reef was not the worst reef I've seen but it's also not the best. It may depend on where your particular boat gets parked/anchored.
It’s fun, do it! Excellent value because there was a variety of environments and activities. The staff was competent and kind, the equipment provided for snorkeling was in great condition, and the snacks, sandwiches and beverages were a nice addition on the journey. 100% highly recommended!
