While we did enjoy our visit to the Conch Farm, the price was high. The tour was great with lots of interesting information. We were able to go on the tour with just our group. Plenty of answers to our questions and lots of hands-on time with the conch. We enjoyed the tour but found the price unresonable. We look... More

After a few drinks I snuck in after-hours. Like a giant petting zoo but instead of pygmy goats they have these giant snail like creatures and these snarling dogs that bite quite hard. I would like to get my hands on the surveilance video for a keepsake. More

My adult daughter and I enjoyed the tour by Denver ( private as we were the only ones for that last tour of the day). He was very good and let us linger where we pleased. It's very interesting--very short tour--and I am now the owner of one of the shells they sell there which was cleaned with the hole... More

Liked the beautiful location right on the beach, liked our tour guide (Denver), liked the work they do and liked the information. I never knew all that about a conch (pronouced "konk"). I wish the tour had been longer, and I wish it hadn't cost $12pp for the tour... but oh well. We knew that before we went. I still... More

I liked the conch farm. They had rescued sea turtles, and a nurse shark. It was cool to see the conch too. The tour was like $12, and was the cheapest thing to do on the island. We really enjoyed it. More

There really isn't much to do in Providenciales if you have kids so this was a good excursion. It was about 15 minutes from our villa and our boys ages 12 &14 liked the tour. The price is a bit steep for a 20 minute tour of a very hurricane damaged conch farm. $14 for adults and $6. It is... More

This is a great, quick stop if you're out exploring the island. $5/person gets you a 10-15 minute tour and explanation of the conch industry. It's really pretty interesting to see how they farm the conch and you can even pick up the small ones in the inside area where they grow the young ones. More
