About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- amy h0 contributionsBest ExcursionOutstanding tour! Snorkeling was great, the boat ride to see houses, another small island and a stop on the end was perfect. Anthony and Cisco were our Captains. Would definitely recommend and go again in the future!Written 13 February 2025
- natashahJ5217SJ0 contributionsAmazing experience!We had a great afternoon with Dr Dre and DJ. In the morning we had some issues, which were completely my fault! We were at the wrong date at the pickup location on the beach, but one of the guys on the boat for another group made phone calls, checked our emails and made new arrangements for us, all while his group was patiently waiting in the boat. He never made us feel ‘dumb’ (which we were…) but solved everything! That was an amazing start and in the afternoon it got even better with Dr Dre and DJ! My husband and I were the only ones on board (we chartered a private boat for the tour) and before we started the tour we got an explanation about safety and we were asked what we liked to do during the afternoon. We wanted to snorkel, visit Half Moon Bay and iguanas island. We had a great time. Dr Dre explained a lot about the island and about the houses of the rich and famous. We made an extra stop for pictures and looking for shells. The guys had lots of drinks (alcoholic and nonalcoholic, sodas, water, rum punch), snacks and lunch onboard, as well as music if we wanted. They were very helpful to get us in the water and back onboard and Dr Dre snorkeled with us to make sure we were safe all the time. Heading back to our hotel (we had a beach pick up at the hotel) we came across a fisherman with a boat which has broken down. The guys said: you never let someone alone at sea, so we towed the guy back to a marina. After using the slide and spring board in calm waters (safety first) we went back to the hotel. Many thanks guys, we had an amazing time with you!!Written 11 February 2025
- Ddoc1000 contributionsGreat day on the water!This was an unbelievably great time. From the office where we booked the tour with Triston, to the boat with DJ and Palmer. Great people, they were all very attentive and accommodating. We will do this trip again no question about it!Written 11 February 2025

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

Island vibes was amazing. We had Alpha (he made sure we had an awesome time) and JR was the driver and DJ (he played such fun music both music we would know and also local Caribbean must from his GF’s father, so good).
We rented a private boat with these luxury lounge chairs at the top/second deck with a slide as well. They took us to Little Water Cay and Half Moon Bay, I believe as well as a little bar/store that you can party at and also has some fun stuff like a trampoline out in the water.
Highly recommend this tour, I have been on a Caribbean search that has lasted for 10 years trying to find the most crystal clear water and,
Turks and Caicos has the clearest water I have ever seen!!! Exuma Bahamas has the most blue water I’ve ever seen just as a reference, but we were so impressed after visiting over 10 Caribbean islands.
It is expensive to rent a private boat for a half-day such as over US$1000 but it’s worth it especially if you’re splitting it with your family or friends or other couples.
Overall, looking to come back in the next year or two to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary and will request book in the same tour maybe will a full day instead and want the same to boat crewmembers!

My mom, husband, daughter and I rented a private Island Vibes cruise as a treat for our last full day of vacation. We have been coming to Providenciales for 27-28 years, skipping only last year because of the pandemic. While we often rent boats during our visit, this was our first time with island Vibes but certainly not our last.
Captain Sean (Hutch) and assistant captain Palmer were the BEST!!!! They were super chill, allowing us to kind of create the itinerary of what we wanted to see and show my young daughter, and SUPER fun to be around. We all had an absolute blast!! They were incredibly attentive, super knowledgeable, and gave us some updates on the island that we weren’t aware of. They took us to a great snorkeling location past the reef, we went to a beach where my daughter could search for beautiful shells, and we went to Iguana Island ( a place I’ve been to many times but this was my 5-year-old’s first time and she got quite a kick out of it). We will for sure be booking all of our next boat rentals with Island Vibes, requesting only the best captains, Sean and Palmer!

Best boat tour ever! Captain Lex and Deshaun gave our family an adventure we will never forget. They were charming, accommodating, and genuinely invested in creating a wonderful experience for us and the boys. Tubing, exploring, even finding sand dollars! We loved wading through the water and looking for fish and critters on the sand bar and riding on the rooftop deck. My 10 year old faced his fears and jumped off the top of the boat and down the slide, and deshaun took my 14 year old diving for sand dollars. The snorkeling was fantastic- not crowded like other tours. We’ve been on a lot of tours, and this one is at the top. We can’t wait for our next trip with them! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to explore paradise up close.

highly recommend this company, Robello was very responsive and went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of.
Very clean boats that have everything you need and the crew was like family by the time we got back to the dock, just great people and all they care about is making the clients happy.
I would give them 10 stars if I could

We took an excursion with Island Vibes on our honeymoon 8 years ago and it has always been one of our best memories. Returning with our children and extended family this time, we knew we wanted to do it again. The resort indicated it was sold out for our dates but Robelo was so helpful to get us on the schedule. Joey and Jon were wonderful, hospitable, and a ton of fun! Yet again, we had an amazing time on the very nice and well equipped boat experiencing some of the most beautiful waters of the world. Highly recommend!!

This is our 3rd time with LJ and Alpha as our crew and we LOVE them. Everytime we take a trip down we have to spend a day on the boat with them. Always good vibes, and fun times. They take us to great snorkeling sports and this time we even saw Jojo the dolphin! 1000/10 recommend island vibes and request the best LJ and Alpha when booking :) thanks to them always for a great time!

Our boat trip with Captain Wally and Stanley was by far our favourite activity whilst in Turks and Caicos. We saw the Iguanas at Iguana Island (which we had entirely to ourselves!), stopped at Noah’s Ark for drinks, and sailed along Grace Bay beach which was picturesque. Wally’s on-board rum punch was 10/10 and Stanley was an amazing host, photographer and tour guide. So much fun. 100% recommend!

We booked a private 4 hr snorkeling excursion which picked us up from beach directly in front of Grace Bay Club-so easy. Our Captains John & Davardo we’re incredible! Very personable, got a feel for exactly what we wanted to do and gave us an absolutely perfect half day of snorkeling & cruising. We saw turtles, tons of fish & giant eagle rays. I cannot recommend this company & excursion any higher-well worth the price to have the boat just to ourselves and have the personal experience.

LJ and Dave (Sunny D) could not have made this trip any better. It was a wonderful splurge to have a boat to ourselves for the afternoon. They were entertaining and shared some areas of interest. Their service was spectacular - they made sure we were well hydrated and fed. I was craving something salty and Sunny D brought out some chips in a conch shell -- really nice presentation for the Classic Lays that hit the spot.
I highly highly recommend!
tip: book directly through Island Vibes for the best pricing
