Loved the snorkeling. Lots of beautiful fish…….. staff very friendly and fun. The stringray portion was great. They have a one on one relationship with them. They swim right up to them and practically give them a hug. Informative and fun. We loved this excursion and would highly recommended…… vasco and clay made it a super fun experience.

We had the worst experience of a lifetime. The weather was horrible that day, and the two people that had been on that trip before refused to go because it was dangerous. I won’t even go in to the horror story of what we went through. After it was over, I contacted, the owner directly by email and was refused a refund. Fortunately I went to a higher up who they must book through, and received a full refund. I got no apologies. Just excuses from this booking agency.

One of the best excursions ever! The walk from the ship to check-in was simple. Signed in, got our flippers and were helped on to the boat right from the shore. Our boat staff were incredible. I knew we had the right crew when we changed our snorkeling location due to rough and cloudy water. We watched the “cruise excursions” dump their people off (doubt they could see anything!), but our crew took us to a better, more protected spot. We saw all kinds of fish and a small sea turtle. I was able to help free dive for the Conch, which the crew prepared for us on the shore of a small island off Grand Turk. Nobody on the island but our boat. The crew helped wrangle stingrays and we were able to get pictures and interact with a few. We ate the fresh conch ceviche, so good! We had an absolute blast and would highly recommend this company and excursion to everyone.

My husband and I LOVED our experience! We had such a great time meeting Faith Ann and so much fun with Clay and Mack out of the beautiful blue Turks water. We went snorkeling, diving for starfish, and swimming with sting rays. It was a wonderful time! We cannot wait to book another trip.

We arrived at the execution location shortly less than one hour after our cruise ship opened for debarkation, but the boat had already left. We were shortly joined by a family of five who had booked the same excursion. When contacted by phone, the tour operator claimed that they had waited an extra 20 minutes but “finally had to leave”. They only run one tour a day, so no opportunity to rebook.

If you choose to book this tour and are coming from a cruise ship, I suggest you get off the instant you’re allowed and run, not walk, to the meetup.

We’ve requested a refund through Viator since clearly the instructions weren’t correct. Very disappointing.

Unfortunately we didn't actually get to go on our tour. We came on a cruise ship - the Carnival Magic - and were supposed to dock in Grand Turk March 1st. However there was too much wind and the ship was unable to dock. I contacted Exclusive Escapes right when the captain announced the itenerary change but that was only an hour before our tour was scheduled. Exclusive escapes processed a FULL refund within the hour that I contacted them! Their customer service was outstanding - very polite and professional. I am very impressed! Even before the tour, the emailed instructions on how to get to their location, and how to prepare for the tour itself, we're so detailed and didn't leave us guessing on what to wear or bring. I'm sure the tour would've been amazing if we were able to go.

Clay and Vasco are favorite guides of all time!!!

Do it!!! This amazing!!! We have been in similar tours all over the world and this was far and away the most outstanding! The value is fantastic. We saw the other tours come and go, massive groups and short stays. Our guides were so fun and very knowledgeable. We learned so much about the sea life, the region and food. At the end they took us to a restaurant and got us set up for a great meal!

Wow! What a great experience. Captain Mac, Voca, and Clay were fantastic. The small group experience was amazing. They made sure that everyone enjoyed the snorkel, the stingray experience, and the conk. The scenery was breathtaking. I would highly recommend this tour.

What an amazing way to spend a morning! Snorkeling on the edge of the reef with an impressive drop hundreds of feet to your right. We saw beautiful fish, barracudas, a nurse shark, sting rays, and octopus. Clay and JJ were great guides who fed us rum punch and fresh conch salad and kept everyone smiling and laughing. Would recommend 100%.
