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.
Turks & Caicos Parasailing: Grace Bay Beach PickupYou’ll step straight onto a parasail boat from Grace Bay Beach, get fitted for safety gear by a local crew, and soar 500 feet above Turks & Caicos’ turquoise water.

Providenciales: Snuba, Shipwreck & Iguana Island 3HRYou descend to Emerald Reef using snuba gear — breathing through a regulator fed by an airline from a raft above — and spend time among healthy coral and abundant fish.
