- billsT2633VJ0 contributionsPrivate half day cruiseGreat private cruise. Alfa and Emilio did fantastic job. A much do when visiting Turks and Caicos. Great scenery, local knowledge and refreshmentsWritten 2 February 2025
- Ceeholahan0 contributionsTruly amazing day!We had an amazing day today with Lamont and Deshaun with Island Vibes in Grace Bay. They picked us up right at our resort and treated us to a truly special day I know my children will remember as the highlight of our trip to Turks & Caicos. Lamont is an experienced Captain and great host who made us feel safe and relaxed. His first mate, Deshaun, was wonderful with our 3 kids, taking time to explore the reefs with us, but especially them, made sure we saw sea turtles and had a great time. We’re so grateful for the memories and time spent exploring beautiful Turks & Caicos with them!Written 28 January 2025
- esp86753090 contributionsHighlight of our tripThis was the highlight of our trip. Joey, our captain, and Tino, our mate, were fun, friendly and super knowledgeable! The snorkeling was beautiful and we saw two turtles. Great lunch at Noah's Ark - the best jerk chicken. Thank you for a memorable day.Written 25 January 2025
- LindaZugs0 contributionsAmazing as always!Outstanding as usual ❤️. We took a private half day tour with JR & LJ. This is by far the best company for an awesome day on the water! JR & LJ were everything we expected with an awesome experience 👍🏻Written 24 January 2025
- michaelafX8160RF0 contributionsHighlight of our trip!Absolute highlight of our trip!!! Joey and Cisco were so fun and did a great job making our boat day a great experience. You can personalize your boat day as you choose— we went to a floating bar, did some snorkeling, and enjoyed swimming and the waterslide off the boat. Cisco also made sure to help my dad in the rough surf while snorkeling. 100% recommend!!!Written 19 January 2025
- ellenq20250 contributionsGreatVery fun experience. Dashawn was our snorkeling guide and was great. The waves were very high so we had to stay close to the boat and he did a great job of keeping the group together. Would be fun to do in calmer waters. I think we would see more fish. Still very worth the money for a great afternoonWritten 17 January 2025
- Donna4080 contributionsNot for first time snorkelingNot recommended for first time snorkeling. There was no instruction given. Otherwise the trip was fine, including the stop at Iguana island and the stop to swim near Noah’s Ark. Recommend the crew ask who has never snorkeled before and give some basic instructions like how to adjust the mask, breathe through your mouth, wear a PFD, etc. This was not as intuitive as I thought.Written 16 January 2025
- vacationgrl20100 contributionsFantastic dayOur family (2 adults and 2 teens) did the half day snorkel and sunset tour over winter break. I think there were maybe 15 other people? No more than 20 total. Great option bc you get to snorkel at Half Moon Bay with one of their employees and can stay together as a group. We loved this! Didn’t feel rushed. Then we went to Iguana Island and got to walk around for 90 min (please wear sandals whole time and be careful as the burrs can stick in your feet) We saw TONS of iguanas and really enjoyed that. Then we took off to the Noah’s Ark floating bar and swings, etc. That’s where my boys enjoyed the slide off the boat (and also where they got a crash course in the drunken young adult bar scene 😆) We sailed back right at sunset. Our two captains were fantastic. We got lunch and run punch/sodas. I would 10/10 recommend this tour - esp after seeing giant boats packed with people. Memorable day!Written 15 January 2025
- shannonhR4758YS0 contributionsMediocre for the moneyThe snorkelling spot was very close to the large breaking waves (had to be to see the reef I suppose) which was terrifying because it was a windy and wavy day, and this was the only spot we actually snorkelled at. The choice of music was, at times, inappropriate (they played a very raunchy song that went on forever…and there were small children on the boat). Song was the crew’s choice and they seemed quite pleased with themselves, although the entire boat with about thirty people was silent and awkward. Also, the boat is not a catamaran. Best to bring your own snorkeling gear. They do not disinfect or sanitize the gear between tours. Your mouth will be where many other mouths have been! Be safe. Was beautiful to be on the water though!Written 14 January 2025
- roselinel20240 contributionsExcelent!Pictures does not give the view justice. The guys were great, We could not go to the reef but did others things instead. Beer and Punch were good and at great temperatureWritten 14 January 2025
- allisonp2160 contributionsAbsolutely fabulous day on Grace Bay the Island Vibes team!Absolutely fabulous day on Grace Bay with DJ & Manny! They were the consummate hosts, ensuring that everyone had a great time, saw what there was to see, and made everyone feel welcome! In addition to their warm hospitality, they ran a tight boat and super-safe snorkeling trip. We saw some beautiful fish at the reef and lots of iguanas! Thanks, Island Vibes team, for such a lovely morning! Shoutout to Tristan, too, on the bookings and answering questions.Written 13 January 2025
- Annemariegreene760 contributionsFun tour with snorkeling, iguanas and rum punch!From the minute the boat picked us up, we throughly enjoyed this tour! The captains were friendly, fun and committed to showing us a good time. Snorkeling equipment was good quality, though I would’ve preferred some calmer waters! My kids loved it, though, and saw stingrays, the coral and a lot of fish. I opted to stay onboard enjoy the rum punch and wraps! The iguana beach stop was awesome - you could walk across the island and be in the Atlantic Ocean! Last stop gave everyone a chance to jump off the top deck or use the slide - lots of laughs and memories with my family! And we made some new friends too!Written 11 January 2025
- 11JoanC0 contributionsGreat Bibes in Turks!Despite the fact that we had to choose a different route due to high winds/surf and the snorkeling was not plentiful, it was a very fun excursion! Rodney was a great rep for the company giving us all the details. He was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. The crew on the boat was so fun and helped to make a great day!! Tay/Tate (aka T-Vibes), Anthony and Reggie showed us a great time at the different stops. We really enjoyed Iguana Island, beautiful topography, a great place to spend some time wandering, swimming and being entertained by all the iguana’s! Sunset on the boat was amazing, a great photo op! We had a great day, would highly recommend this tour!Written 11 January 2025

- AshLake11190 contributionsBest Day of the Trip!We did a full day private (7 of us, 60, 43, 40, 21, 21, 18, 15) and had a great time! We've done private snorkel boat days in a few Caribbean countries now, and this was one of the top two for sure. We didn't have a requested itinerary, so we let the captains lead the day. Joey and Alpha really made the trip special. They were so kind, funny, personable, and did everything they could to make sure we had the best time. My 15 year old son is a real adventure lover, they spotted a nurse shark and took him down with them to see it up close. We had a fantastic BBQ lunch, saw the most beautiful sandbar, and took advantage of the slide and diving board at the top of the boat! They also made a pit atop at Noah's Ark, which the group LOVED (that'd be worth going tonitself for a few hours) We did all get a lot of sun, so make sure you bring lotion and long sleeves - it's a lot of sun time - which we loved! Our only hiccup was that the card reader at the end didn't work, so we were hung up on that for awhile to pay - as a business owner myself, the owner of the company should set their team up better for success and work towards a more seamless process. We had a great day on the water, and would absolutely love to get back out with Joey and Alpha one day!Written 9 January 2025

Shout out to Captin Waldy and First Mate Richard! I can't say enough about the experience these two gentlemen gave us. Me and two of my best friends chartered a private four-hour tour with all the water sports for our last day in the beautiful islands of Turks and Caicos. One of my best friends does not like large bodies of water and the guys made her feel right at home while we were parasailing, snorkeling, and using the sub wings. We are three loud cursing NYC ladies who desperately needed a vacation and these guys handled us like pros. They were incredibly kind, helpful, hospitable, and just all-around pleasant company. They seemed really genuine in that they love what they do and where they do it. Everything was timed out perfectly too. Parasailing for enough time, snorkeling for enough time, and an hour on Iguana Island was perfect. After we explored Iguana Island on our own we came back to a lovely little lunch. The fruit was amazing and the wraps hit the spot. Richard was so great snorkeling with us and making sure we (meaning, me) didn't swim off too far. My friends and I felt totally comfortable putting our lives in their very capable hands while parasailing. Richard was so sweet in answering all our questions and telling us all about this beautiful island he's called home all his life. Captain Waldy was all business in making sure all the equipment was tip top and inspected everything we were about to use in the water. They were both just amazing and really helped end our trip on the highest of notes. The only reason why I gave a Very Good rating instead of an Excellent one is that we didn't know exactly where to meet the boat. The instructions just said at Grace Bay Beach which is actually quite big. We were at the wrong location, but Sean (a captain from another Island Vibes Tour boat) was kind enough to call Captain Waldy and let him know where we were. We waited a bit (which we certainly didn't mind considering the stunning setting) and then here comes Captain Waldy and Richard pulling right up on the beach to get us. I feel confident in saying that when we return to Turks and Caicos (and we will) we would not hesitate to book another day with Captain Waldy and Richard of Island Vibes Tour. Thank you guys! We really needed that.

Our excursion with Island Vibes Tours was a highlight of our trip to Turks and Caicos! Our entire group loved our guides, Oscar and Richard, who were personable and extremely attentive to safety. The parasailing was spectacular, we saw the reef and lots of fish perfectly while snorkeling, and learning to "subwing" was a new and exciting activity. Oscar and Richard were skilled in managing the boat and us and shared fun trivia with us along the way. We even had a great snack near the end of our tour.
We have recommended this excursion to everyone who has asked and would do it again! I'd like to add also that after forgetting my hydro flask bottle on their boat, much needed during my visit, they even returned it to my hotel the next day since their office was closed. Incredible service!
Give them a try! You'll be glad you did.

This was our first time getting our own boat (with drivers!) and not going with a group of strangers. It was sooo worth the extra money!
The guys fished with dragging lines on our way to snorkel, then we parasailed and Jojo the dolphin came along, then visited Iguana island (where our shoes disappeared), got back on the boat for lunch, had an endless supply of rum punch, and even got to DJ using playlists from our phone while Bluetoothed to the radio.
Our shoes were taken by another big boat captain and our captain went through the effort of calling and located our stuff and even took us by that boat to get everything back! So sweet!
We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend using these guys again!!!

Our group (2 adults & 7 teens) spent 4 hours on a boat with Wally and Richard and I cannot say enough great things. It was amazing. The girls got to parasail, snorkel, tube, and explore Iguana Island. We had great tunes playing the whole time. They even provided wraps, snacks, beverages and a cake for my daughter. Wally & Richard were incredibly safe, but also very knowledgeable and also easy going- great attributes when dealing with 7 12 year olds. This was definitely an experience none of us will forget!! I highly recommend Island Vibes Tours!!

Captain Waldy and First Mate, Alpha led us on a beautiful adventure! It was a memory for a lifetime.
The first sighting on our snorkel trip was a delightful sea turtle. Alpha skillfully led us through the beautiful sites of the reef. He made our trip fun and safe for the most experienced snorkelers and the newbies.
A champagne toast and we were off for a ride through the amazing turquoise waters of the bay. Captain Waldy located the Island's favorite porpoise, JoJo. The Captain skillfully used the boat's wake to invite JoJo to play with us. We were enthralled and smiling from ear to ear as we watched JoJo swim and jump in our wake for several minutes!
We bid JoJo goodbye and boated on, until we pulled ashore on a beautiful, romantic and uninhabited beach. We leisurely walked the shore and the cliffs. There were several opportunities for taking amazing photos.
Our sunset ride back was the perfect ending for the perfect afternoon. We raised our glasses of rum punch in a toast to Captain Waldy, mate Alpha, and this amazing tropical paradise! As we soaked in the beauty of this place, we recognized how fortunate we were to have this amazing memory.

We had an amazing day with Sean and David on a half day private tour. They picked us up at our beach outside a resort which was awesome and they started the day asking us how we wanted to spend it party day or relaxed. We decided on a party day and David turned up the music and started dancing at the front of the boat. We all had a great time snorkeling even seeing a reef shark, touring the shipwreck, fancy houses on the Leeward Canal and half Moon Bay with iguanas. Sean
and David were fantastic and really made the trip fantastic would not hesitate to ride with them again.

The whole family was very excited for our half day adventure and it did not disappoint! From the minute Captain Sean and “dancing” David arrived, The mood was set for a really fun experience. They were so so friendly, easy-going, and wonderful every step of the way. When one of us (ok it was me) got a little seasick, David was on the case and had me feeling better in no time.
This was our first time on this island and making the arrangements from home is always a little bit of a leap of faith. This tour is worth the money and you’ll be very happy you signed on!

Dan and captain Oscar were great! We were skeptical about going on the trip since it was raining at the tour start time. But captain Oscar and Dan played hopscotch with the rain showers and made our day enjoyable! So glad we decided to go. Since this was a private tour they allowed us to customize our activities since we had already been snorkeling on our trip. We parasailed, went cliff jumping, sub wing, and scootered. We were able to Bluetooth our phone to okay our own music as well. It ended up being a great afternoon - minus the sunshine. Highly recommend!

Planned for a couple sours is parasailing and got so much more. The parasailing was great but we also toured Iguana Island, snorkeled out at the drop-off, did a wake board-like activity they got us 20 feet underwater with goggles to see even more sea life. Richard was a tremendous guide who also told us about a festival happening that night in town. Our whole family went and had a ball. This outing was the highlight of a great week form our daughters (teens and 20’s). Highly recommend.
