Turks and Caicos Full-Day Snorkel & Iguana Island Boat Cruise with BBQ
Spend a full day cruising the turquoise banks of Providenciales—snorkeling vibrant reefs, stepping onto Iguana Island, and finishing with a beachside BBQ. This private charter mixes easy swims, wildlife viewing, and relaxed island-hopping for all ages.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The charter spends hours in direct sun; use reef-safe SPF and reapply after snorkeling to protect coral and skin.
Use provided snorkel gear but test it first
Equipment is included—try your mask on with water before leaving the boat to avoid fogging or leaks during the first stop.
Stay hydrated and pack a dry bag
Salty air and sun dehydrate quickly—carry water and a small dry bag for phones and passports.
Mind the reef
When snorkeling, float with fins up and avoid standing on coral to prevent damage and injury.

Providenciales developed as a salt-raking and boat-building center before tourism; Loyalist settlers and Bahamian fishermen shaped local culture and place names.
