Providenciales: Private Boat Snorkeling & Iguana Island with LunchYou get a private boat for six hours with a captain who knows where the reef and wrecks are, snorkeling gear, entry to three cays, lunch cooked on board, and local beer. The boat leaves from Providenciales and returns the same day, so you're back with time to spare.Is it for me?Right for travelers staying in Providenciales who want to snorkel and explore multiple cays without sharing a boat or keeping to a group schedule. Six hours is a full morning and afternoon, which is what lets you linger at each stop instead of rushing through.
