Turks and Caicos Snorkeling Tours

Turks and Caicos Snorkeling Gallery

Boats over the flats, cays ringed with sand, and what you meet under the surface. Every frame shows the kind of place a snorkel tour Turks and Caicos operator reaches from Providenciales or Grand Turk.

The first pictures are the boats. Sailing catamarans ride at anchor over pale turquoise flats. A double-decker waits with snorkelers beside it, and a speedboat sits by a rusting wreck. Most frames are taken from the air, which is how you see the water change colour over sand, seagrass and reef.

Next come the cays and beaches: a sandbar at low tide, a small cay ringed with white sand and mangrove channels from above. Then the cays' own residents, the rock iguanas, and a queen conch shell at the water's edge.

The last frames are in the water. Sea turtles rest on seagrass and glide over a reef. Schools of reef fish swirl past, and a dolphin passes two snorkelers. None of the animals keeps a schedule, so treat each one as a bonus rather than a promise.
