Good experience and workout! You get to go around the Mangrove Cay and Little Water Cay (Iguana Island). Entirely experience is 4 hours and you tandem with your partner if... read more you are in a couple otherwise you can get your own kayak.

Mangrove tour is the majority of the 4 hours, and you see many turtles and little fishes. Our visit it was during prime covid time so we were just one of two kayaks so it was very easy to navigate and turn around the smaller areas that may probably take more time normally. Very calm and peaceful in Mangroves. It is definitely a workout overall to go from Cay to Cay and you will be tired at the end of it but they supply water and some snacks.

Only tip is BRING BUG SPRAY, we got bit by bugs and didn't know it until later that day and got very itchy. Kinda expected if you know Mangrove Cay is like a creek/shallow pond with lots of wildlife, but yeah come prepared.

  My kids ages 12 and 9 are doing kitesurfing lessons with Chris and they love it. Both my husband and I kite and we’d love for our kids to learn.... read more Chris is awesome, my kids have fun during their lesson and are learning important skills. I highly recommend Chris. I was kiting while my kids were having lessons and Jay, Cris’ colleague, was very helpful to me even though I wasn’t having a lesson. They are all very nice guys and great instructors! We also did the Kayak Eco Tour of the mangroves with Bradlyn. It was an awesome experience and Bradlyn knew the eco system system really well! We saw baby lemon sharks, turtles, sting rays, herons! It was great!

  Chris is an amazing instructor!!! He is so observant that he will tell you every single detail of your form etc to make your kite lesson better and make you... read more learn to kite faster!! He's a funny, VERY patient and positive instructor that I would recommend to anyone to have a lesson with! He also will make sure that you feel comfortable and confident with your ride by breaking everything down to small steps and making it easy to follow! I would not hesitate to choose Chris! He definitely will make your experience very special 🙂

  My husband, our 10 year-old daughter and I did the Kayak Eco Tour. We loved going though the Mangroves and seeing “juvenile” turtles swim by. Our tour guide, Bradlyn, was... read more awesome! He had so much knowledge of the eco system and he was very patient with those of us that were slow paddlers.
The best part was stopping at iguana island, swimming in the beach and eating brownies!
The trip back was a little strenuous because the wind was against us at the end but we just went straight for fish tacos to reward ourselves!

  Chris at Big Blue has been teaching my son to kiteboard, who is now totally hooked on it !!!
He's a great teacher and is up on the board already !

  My son and I have been coming to provo for the past 8 years and although we have always seen the kiteboarders on Long Bay, we had yet to try... read more it. We both decided that this was the year.. and in the one week we were in the island - my son took 2 lessons from KAJKA and I took 2 lessons from CHRIS and 1 lesson from JAY. Let me just say.. it was EPIC and I'm obsessed!

If you are interested in kiteboarding at all.. Provo is the place to be and Big Blue Collective has the BEST instructors! You cannot go wrong with CHRIS, KAJKA or JAY. They are all fantastic and extremely thorough with their instruction, patient (and let you move at whatever pace you feel comfortable with), encouraging, kind and incorporate a sense of humor that just makes the lessons even more enjoyable. I went from being fearful to confident and excited for the adventure ahead.

Learning how to fly the kite was the absolute highlight of my trip and just when I thought it couldn't get better, I ended my third lesson with being able to get up on the board and ride successfully! Literally - the most fun I've had on the water yet!

I promise that I'll be back for more and you should too!!

  We did the 4 hour kayak tour and LOVED it. Braylon was fantastic and so very knowledgeable about Turks. We will definitely do this again when we return

  I went on a very serene kayak tour with Big Blue and it exceeded my expectations. My guide Cole was an absolute delight! Make sure you ask her about the... read more local wildlife, especially the snaggletooth shark.

The mangroves were peaceful. I saw so many turtles and even a baby shark! The water was crystal clear, and sun was shining.

It was a beautiful day and a memory I will never forget. I really appreciate the eco friendly aspect of Big Blue. They made sure our sunscreen was reef friendly.

Please do yourself a favour, before you come to Turks and Caicos PLEASE make sure you bring sunscreen that is reef friendly, you have no idea how bad the chemicals are for the environment. Thank you to Big Blue, I would highly recommend.

  Best Kite Surfing in the world here TCI Big Blue Collective. Big thank you to my fantastic instructor’Chris’ has made every lesson EPIC I am so happy with what... read more I have learnt and done. Been a goal for many years. Anyone coming to visit Provo look up Chris for kite surfing or any of the wonderful professional staff at BB.

  This was a highlight of our trip to Providentiales. The water is calm, so you don;t need to be an experienced kayaker, and you get to take a bit... read more of break and visit a little island. You don;t need to be super fit (I certainly am not), but you can't be completely out of shape.

  I am in my mid-50’s and I had the most fabulous few days of Kiteboarding lessons with the Big Blue Collective a month ago in Turks. This was my... read more second trip where I took lessons from the team and I would highly recommend them. They are very safety oriented and got me up on the board after a few hours of lessons. I really started to feel that I could do this sport after all their help and training. I can’t wait to go back.

  This was outrageously expensive and a terrible experience!!! There was a woman that did not allow my children to put on sunblock because of its effects on the environment. ... read more They did not take us to any exciting spots. This was not worth the money. We did 2 other boat trips with two other companies that were incredible. Don't use this one.

  It was my best 65th birthday ever. Guide Marcia could not have been more pleasant and she definitely knows her marine life biology. Wonderful experience from pick up... read more right on time to getting us back to our resort. We saw. Countless turtles and a few small sharks who grow up in the protection of the mangroves. Can’t wait to go back.

  Brentley was awesome tour guide(Tom too). He knew quite a bit about the mangroves. He knew about the wildlife living there and their habits. Really a great experience overall. We... read more saw a couple babynlemon sharks, all kinds of puffer fish and quite a few turtles hanging out in there.
We also stopped and had a look at some upside down jellyfish(that I thought were algae). He explained and showed us a conch that was live.
Overall a great experience. A bit pricey in my opinion @ just over $500USD for a 2 hour excursion(1/2 hour or so to get in and out and then 1.5 hours in the mangroves) Also, they make you buy the biodegradable zinc sunscreen they have there for $28 or $42USD...
Either way, I'm happy we did it and got to see things we normally wouldn't.

  Our group of 9 had a private eco tour. Capt. Mark and his team were so knowledgeable and kind. We learned all about the local wildlife and sea life. They... read more provided waters and snacks for our group. They happily accommodated our gluten and nut allergies. They are extremely professional. Definitely worth the money! We had booked with another charter company for a snorkel experience bc they were cheaper and regrettably we got what we paid for.

  This is one of those excursions you will remember in 20 years. I promise.

Charlie and Colin took us on a wild, fascinating daylong trip to three different snorkel... read more destinations. The reefs are beautiful and alive with all sorts of creatures, big and small.

The schools of blue tangs are breathtaking. We saw a huge ray laying on the ocean floor. Charlie showed us a giant nurse shark sleeping under a ledge and took my picture when I swam down to it. We also stumbled upon a big Caribbean reef shark making the rounds (my heart was pounding), numerous barracuda (pounding again). Sea turtles (awesome), queen angelfish (gorgeous), a humungo lobster (so cool), and all sorts of other amazing creatures. Big fish. Tiny fish.

The final spot was the true "edge of the banks." I don't really know how to describe it. It was like snorkeling in a Jules Vernes book. One second you are swimming 50 feet above the ocean floor and then the next thing you know you are on the edge of the abyss, staring straight down into the deep. It's a really powerful moment, thinking about all the things down there that you can't see and the sharp contrast between what you see and what you don't.

More than anything else, it's wildly fun. Charlie and Colin were hilarious. During a lunch break, Charlie took me cliff jumping, and the food on the boat was top notch (nicer than at some of the TCI restaurants, to be honest). Our group spent most of the day either laughing together or gasping together, bouncing from one riveting experience to another. (The gear is all great. They will give you everything you need and it's all very safe and efficient).

Is it expensive? Sure. But you came all this way. Might as well go on the excursion of a lifetime.

  We booked the Full Day Snorkel and Kayak Eco Tour. We had the best guides - Lee and Mike! This tour was amazing and when we looked back... read more over our trip, this tour was the highlight of our entire week in Turks and Caicos. The tour guides were wonderful and extremely knowledgeable of the marine life, their normal habitats and behaviors. The eco tour was perfect because it was a small group (only 6) and was ideal for snorkeling and kayaking. Many of the other tour groups we encountered had 20-50 people per boat, and snorkeling in that kind of scenario is nearly impossible. It is obvious this company cares about the environment and wants their guests to experience the marine life with their same enthusiasm. We loved this tour so much, we went back the following afternoon and rented kayaks to explore more of this area. We easily kayaked over to Little Water Cay (Iguana Cay), and back through the mangroves. After we'd been shown where to look for wildlife by our guide - we were more alert and able to navigate the mangroves on our own. If we'd booked this tour on the first day of our trip, we would've gone back every day after! Below is a summary of our tour.

We spent the morning riding out to sea, watching for whales and dolphins. (This tour takes you much further and to less crowded areas of the reef than many of the other snorkel tours in Provo.) Once we reached the snorkel point, we snorkeled for around an hour, the waters were so clear, the snorkel gear was of incredible quality and the fish/reefs were more vivid than we could've imagined. After we snorkeled, we rode the boat to an incredible private beach, ate our delicious lunch and watched for dolphins. While hanging out here, we spotted a dolphin and were able to swim with 2 WILD dolphins. The dolphins interacted with us and made for a memorable trip. This was a bonus! In the afternoon, we hopped into kayaks and spent several hours kayaking through the mangroves, looking for small sharks, turtles, and a variety of other fish. I can't say enough wonderful things about this tour!
