About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Z224LWkyleh0 contributionsNon-stop vibes!What a fun, and lively trip! The boat was so much fun! Everything from the slide, to the team, to the diving board! The Caicos Dream Tour guys are as local as they get! Very outgoing, and had us laughing & dancing nonstop! Great vibes, great people, and a great time.Written 30 August 2024
- kuma17200 contributionsExcellent Experience with Two TeensWe just did this your but it was booked through Beaches. Thought the first part of the tour would have taken us off to a more remote snorkeling location but conveniently it was minutes from Grace Bay. Expected a bit abetted location but that was just the beginning. After we went to look for conch at a location again three hundred yards away. Not what I had expected since any operator would have made the same run and charged me less. Ultimately we ran over to Iguana Island which was a short distance away and not very remarkable as a location. Unfortunately having been to the Exumas and seeing the real version of the island I guess I wasn’t moved by it. The conch salad prepared by Jerry was exceptional and really flavorful. We moved over to another location east and loved it. It was remote and much more relaxing. Truly a five star location as they prepared lunch. The lunch was very good and we had a great time decompressing there. A few hours later we stoooed over another sandbar that was exceptional as well. Overall a good experience and the guys did their best to make sure everything was going well. Not a bad time just wished it would have started with more of a better location to start the trip.Written 16 August 2024
- GinnyNelson110 contributionsGreat vibes, beautiful reefFriendly staff, great music, fun vibes. Beautiful reef, amazing scenery with huge variety of fish and coral. Staff was attentive and exceeded our expectations.Written 15 August 2024
- F4045GEkellyh0 contributionsToo much fun!!!OMG what an amazing day! We did the half day morning charter our last full day on TCI and have absolutely no regrets! One of the funnest things I’ve ever done! Shout out to Big Lou and Abner for being fun and friendly captains/tour guides- Big Lou even spent time diving/snorkeling to try and retrieve my sunglasses that blew off the boat! They also helped us with playing dj on the Bluetooth, got us drinks and a delicious lunch with fresh fish, fruit and sandwiches, let the kids “drive” and told us all about each sight and the different islands. We have a family of 5 (11 year old twins and 10-year old) and we all had a blast - snorkeled, went off the slide, dove and jumped from the second level, saw the shipwreck and visited iguana island which was so fun and beautiful! Highly recommend this company and the private charter! Thanks Big Lou & Abner!Written 11 August 2024
- kiriamm20240 contributionsCaicos Dream Tours is a must to book ! 10/10 recommend!!What an amazing trip! We had so much fun exploring Grace Bay with Big Lou and Abner. Highly recommend this trip. The atmosphere was family friendly, they provided tons of drinks, fruit, snacks, and sandwiches . The crew was incredible! My family and I felt safe as we were snorkeling and the crew was with us the whole time . We were able to snorkel for 20 to 30 minutes, saw wildlife and different areas of the reef. An unforgettable excursion . A trip you must book if you visit TCI !Written 10 August 2024
- Evy P0 contributionsSuch a fun day trip!What an amazing day we had! The Captain Carlos and his crew were great and welcoming. We felt right at home. The crew provided us with island music, a relaxing vibe and equipment that was in very good condition. Once we docked and were geared up for the snorkel, the guys explained where we were going and safety rules. The reef was nice; it was quite a bit of swimming for me but I’m a novice so just fyi but not extremely challenging. After the snorkel we headed to half moon bay had lunch including tasty rum punch then off to swimming exploring and wonderful photo opps! If I have any complaints it’s that it went by way too fast! If you’re on the fence about this excursion; do it was really an awesome time! Bravo 👏Written 10 August 2024
- T578UBjeffs0 contributionsGreat tour great crewAfter a bad experience with another company, these guys were great! There were thunderstorms the morning of our tour and unfortunately they had to cancel but gave us plenty of notice and were able fit us in later that afternoon. Snorkeling was great, crew was fantastic and the rum punch was flowing afterwards. Would have done this again if we had booked earlier in our trip…it was that good!Written 9 August 2024
- C3693SKdm0 contributionsReeftacularWe loved the tour and every stop we made. The guides Kwee and Pine were wonderful at interacting with guests and distributing drinks. Iguana come back again and conch believe how much fun we had. Thank you for a wonderful family experience.Written 9 August 2024
- davidedwardscafc0 contributionsEnjoyable for all agesThe trip delivered in all aspects as advertised. Attentive crew who were personable and responded to all requests. The snorkel dive over the reef was ok but lacked variety of species on our visit. We may have been unlucky. Book direct as it works out cheaper and if converting dollar it could be even cheaper. A very good morning.Written 9 August 2024
- gspumoni0 contributionsGreat dayCaptain Kevin and crew were exceptional. We saw lots of fish and enjoyed a great vibe. They make happy vibes for every family!Written 8 August 2024
- qaw2660 contributionsBest excursion BY far!!!We have been coming to Turks and Caicos for 10 years and we have done 10 different excursions. The one we did today with Caicos Dream Tours by FAR was the best one we’ve ever done. Our family of four wanted a more private boat tour catered to our needs and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! We were blessed with Captain Licky and First Mate Fiyo and they could not have been a better duo. They gave us suggestions on where to go but also honored our ideas on places to stop. We had a great time at the sandbar and at Iguana Island but they also made sure to point out where different celebrities stay so that was cool! Having a boat to ourselves was great and they made a great team. We will definitely be back and requesting Licky and Fiyo!!Written 6 August 2024
- wislinej20230 contributionsBest Company, Best CaptainThe best company hands down, I’ve down the tour multiple times and everytime it feels like a brand new experience. We had the best captain Delancy and Quan …They made the experience 10 times better…they ensured that everyone had a great time. The views were breathtaking as always , honestly 10/10 …A must do in the TCIWritten 5 August 2024

We took a private tour, started great with snorkeling for about an hour. The plan arranged at the start of the tour was snorkeling, iguana island, Half moon cay, along with another location, as well as docking in the ocean and using the slide. Then went to an island for grilling, and took about 45min to anchor due to the rain. Once partially anchored, food was grilled but the first mate kept working on the boat rotors stuck in the sand. We finished eating about 12:30/12:45 and tried helping to push the boat into the water. This was unsuccessful and were told that “they’d be coming to help”. We decided to stay warm in the water and drank the rum punch since there was nothing else to do. The two employees kept disappearing intermittently, assumed trying to get a signal to call the company. Finally 2 boats (cruisin Caribbean, and Olympic Vision) arrived and instead of taking us to the mainland, they tried to pull the boat, and broke the slide. They then left and another boat, the “Octopussy” arrived to take use back to the dock to make it home around 3:30pm. We tipped the guys understanding the weather made things more difficult. I spoke to the manager later that day and they offered 10% discount due to the crew saying we were fine and the boat didn’t get stuck until 3pm. I discussed again with management because the stories didn’t match up. And try to explain that I have photos documenting the times (which he still questioned the legitimacy of them). Finally agreed to a 50% discount, after being scrutinized about having actually less of the experienced that came with a half day. The fact the guys lied and apparently didn’t call their company is a concern, as well as the fight that was put into getting some kind of refund was absurd.

We had a full day private charter (4 adults and 4 teens) which included 2 snorkeling stops, Iguana Cay, a private BBQ lunch on another island, a sandbar stop and … by a great stroke of luck…swimming with dolphins! Captain Licky and Mate Vardo were the complete package: they were funny and laid back but also responsible and informative. I felt like we were in good hands in terms of the way they handled each person’s snorkeling knowledge and ability. They let us stop to jump off the upper deck and also took us to check out a floating bar. They had plenty to eat and drink ( the lunch was beyond amazing and exceeded my expectations) and kept us all entertained. Never had a full day go by so fast. Go with Caicos Dream Tours and, if possible, reserve a private charter. It was the highlight of our trip!

This is our 3rd time staying in Grace Bay, and our friends 7th. We have 4 kids with our 2 families and 4 adults.
For us it was our 3rd boat cruise - we did the public half day, private half day, and now private full day.
This was a great experience that we would do again. Captain Lamont and Big Lou were outstanding hosts. We had some weather to dodge in the morning and afternoon, and they navigated around to find us overcast and some sun.
As we have been a few times, they also were able to take us to spots we had never been. This was great and made the experience even better.
Big Lou was attentive to all of us, showed care for the safety of us and our kids, and is like a family / friend with how personable he is.
The fish at lunch was out of this world. The chicken too.

Our captain and first mate (Tino) were amazing. Snorkeling was fantastic, we saw so many fish and a pretty big shark. Then we went into the mangroves and saw some turtles and a bunch of rays.
The captain cooked up some red snapper on the boat which was amazing!
Spent some time at iguana island and then the tiki bar to jump off the boat and swim.
It was by far the best day of our entire vacation. The sunset was breathtaking.

Pop and Kahlee (sorry if I misspelled) went above and beyond to make sure our crew of nine had a fabulous day. Everything from start to finish was catered to what we wanted to do and was super fun. Our only bummer was that we weren't able to fish (the fish were not cooperating) BUT we got to swim with a mama and baby dolphin and we saw the Island famous JoJo. I would 100% take this excursion again

Fabulous tour. Captain Lamont, assisted by Tario, took us to great snorkeling, diving, and swimming. Also had some fun tubing. Lunch on the beach was very tasty. Lamont and Tario are also superb cooks. I highly recommend Caicos Dream Tours.

Excellent boating day, didn’t want it to end. We were 2 families doing a private full day charter, 10 people. We went snorkeling in 2 locations, visited iguana island, a sandbar to look for sand dollars, a great beach BBQ lunch, tubing, and we also saw green sea turtles and a very close look at a small pod of dolphins who came up to the boat.
There were also swimming opportunities on the beach as lunch was cooked and at iguana island.
We loved it all and the time flew by. Our crew was JJ and Pine, super friendly crew. Will book with them again.
