North Shore & Caicos Cays Cruise

Secluded Cays, Sandbars & Wild Dolphin Encounters

Our adventure begins with exploring the shipwreck in the shallow waters of the Caicos Banks. Make a stop to visit the iguanas on Little Water Cay, also known as ‘Iguana Island’, and then head east to uncover the hidden beaches and sandbars of Water Cay’s Half Moon Bay, Pine Cay, and Fort George Cay. Keep an eye out for our famous Jojo the dolphin and his playful calf Dreamer (aka Scooter), who often invite guests to swim with them in their natural habitat. After some great snorkeling, drop anchor at the beach to unwind, search for seashells, and savour a gourmet lunch along with our famous rum punch. Our crew will pamper you while you bask in the turquoise waters, soaking up the warm sunshine. If time allows, you can also venture further to Parrot Cay and North Caicos.

During our snorkeling trips, we prioritize quieter areas along the barrier reef where you can encounter a variety of marine life such as tropical fish, sea turtles, colourful corals and more.  Crystal clear waters offer incredible visibility, ensuring you see all the wonders as you explore beneath the surface. You can choose to visit multiple snorkel spots, make lounging on the beach a priority, or a leisurely cruise to explore the nearby islands and cays. It’s your day, you set the pace!
