The sightseeing excursion portion is approximately 1.5 hours long. Arriving back at the meeting point, you will be taken by snorkel boat to the nearby shallow coral reef to see some of the incredible marine life. The snorkel excursion guide will pass out the snorkel gear and assist guests on how to use it. The warm and crystal clear water off Grand Turk is almost perfect for snorkeling and the shallow reef allows guests to see the fish up close. One of the friendliest marine residents are the nurse sharks. Nothing to fear as these docile creatures are more like cats that enjoy a good scratch on the belly. The snorkel shore excursion guide will assist those guests who might want to pet one. The next snorkel stop will be at a drop-off at the edge of the coral reef or "wall". The snorkel guide will assist guests at both sites. Snorkel gear is provided (mask, fins, snorkel and vest) but guests are welcome to bring their own. Note that guests must know how to swim as neither location is shallow enough to stand. The boat and guide will take you back to the beach meeting point after the snorkeling. Guests may choose to make their way back to the pier at their leisure.
