Find your trip

When it comes to terrain, only one company stands out covering the length and breadth of the Turks & Caicos Islands – BIG BLUE COLLECTIVE. Our different tours and activities take you from the closest reefs to the furthest deserted islands and cays.
From inland caves to the steepest walls. From the ocean blue to the deepest mangrove swamps. Big Blue provides access to the entire Caicos Islands. Variety is the spice of life. It’s also the best way to understand these islands.
There are more beaches in the Turks and Caicos than you could probably ever visit. Grace Bay, the most famous, as the world’s #1, is just the beginning. Many of our favourite ones are scattered across these islands, near and far, big and small, away from the crowds on other islands and cays. Come and find your favourite.
Mangroves are the lungs of these islands, breathing new life into the water with every incoming and outgoing tide. They cover 1/3 of this country and we’ve been everywhere. We offer the best mangrove experiences in the Caribbean.
The stunning coastal rock formations leave every visitor spellbound. With little sand and few beaches, these coastlines are not affected by sediment nearly as much and as such the water clarity is truly mesmeric. Ironshore is present across these islands but there are some very special areas, like West Caicos that are exceptional. We’ll take you there and beyond.
These Islands are made up of 41 Islands and Cays with only 9 of them populated. Let your imagination run wild. The world’s best beaches all to yourself.
The world’s third largest barrier reef is breath taking. Most operators only visit less than 5% and then usually at the wrong times. We have explored reefs near and far and are still finding amazing snorkel and free diving zones. Getting off the beaten path is so worth it. Less people, less damage and more life!
The sheer drop walls starting in as little as 35’ plummet to well over 6000’ are a sight to behold. It’s what makes diving here so very special. You have to see it to believe it. There is nothing like diving on the edge of the abyss and while snorkelers can get a sense of the scale, it is truly the divers delight.
Big Blue is another name for the open ocean. If you want to see dolphins and whales, you have to be outside the reef. We are the experts in open ocean pelagic encounters. Our success comes from our passion, understanding and philosophy of never being in a rush. It also helps being in small groups.
The Turks and Caicos are steeped in history and much of it still visible in the form of ruins. From Wades Green cotton plantation on North Caicos to Yankee Town on West Caicos, there are ruins on nearly every island. Some are big and others are almost invisible. Finding them is so much fun.
Caves of all sorts are abundant throughout these islands both above and below the waterline. The porous limestone is the ideal for cave formation. Many of the caves we take you to are our secrets, some like the Conch Bar caves are well known.
We took the Kayak Eco Tour. We were a family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 twenty-somethings. Our tour guide was Ali. She did a wonderful... read more job telling us the history and ecology of Turks & Caicos, kept our kayaks safe during large winds, and pointed out all of the beautiful turtles! We had a wonderful time and highly recommend it.
Tom’s teaching methods are perfectly suited to my learning style. I suffered from irrational anxieties that Tom quickly disposed of by teaching me safety and how to manage the kite.... read more Once I learned those things my anxieties literally disappeared overnight, and I began having fun and learning how to kiteboard. Big Blue is well organized, well equipped, conveniently located, and very friendly. In just my short time with them I am much more confident, knowledgeable, and accomplished. Cannot wait to return. Highly recommend.
3 days of awesome scuba diving with Gus and TJ at Big Blue Collective in the Turks and Caicos Islands! Gus and TJ are not only great boat captains and... read more dive masters, but so much fun to spend the day with! The Big Blue office staff - - Sherline, Tanya, Mia and Jenny are the very best to organize your adventure - - whatever that may be! Go with Big Blue Collective and have an awesome time!!
We booked a paddle board tour, but as it was quite windy our guide suggested that we switch to kayaks. Ali was amazing and it ended up that we were... read more the only 3 people on the tour (our son woke up not feeling well). The tour was fascinating from beginning to end. Ali was so well informed about everything we were seeing and we learned so much about the mangrove system and all the wildlife we saw. I highly recommend this tour and look forward to booking the longer kayak tour when we return and my son can go as well! We saw lots of sea turtles, birds, and a couple of baby sharks.
Overall we couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water with Big Blue Collective. The booking process was simple, and the communication with the company pre-trip was great.... read more We had so much fun on the boat and snorkeling. We had a nice little snack break of fruits, muffins and a brownie after the first snorkel and a great lunch of subs, chicken pasta, chips and veggies with hummus on the bow of the boat in the sunshine. We made four different snorkeling stops being able to see sharks, sting rays, sea urchins, so many colorful fish and colorful coral. We got to go to West Caicos where I jumped off some cliffs. The staff Captains Lily and Mitch were the best part of the day. The weather wasn’t looking great on our first snorkel, but they said they were going to change plans and they would find us some sunshine. That they did, within an hour we had beautiful weather the rest of the day. They could have canceled the trip and called it a day but they didn’t. They wanted us to see and enjoy their islands. We truly did! So a shout out to Lily and Mitch! If you do no other tours or excursions in Provo, do the Edge of the Banks or anything with Big Blue Collective. They will not disappoint.
We booked a half day private snorkeling excursion on White Sands for July 22. Captain and Mate were absolutely amazing! We had the best snorkel trip we have... read more ever done. The waters are beautiful, saw some stunning fish and actually got to see one of the resident dolphins - Jojo!! They did an amazing job working with our kids & family to make sure we had everything we needed (gear, snacks, drinks, etc), giving us local historical info, points of interest, and took us over to see the endangered rock iguanas. We would absolutely do another excursion with them next time we are in T&C. Thanks so much for an amazing trip!
We had a really great 8-hour day on the Serenity with Trish (captain) and Breadlyn. It was a really fun day!! The day started out choppy and a storm... read more popped up but with Trish's skills and the speed of this amazing boat, we beat the storm and found sunshine and great places for our activities. We went snorkeling a couple of times... we loved snorkeling to a shallow cave and also jumping off a not-too-high cliff at the same spot. We tried shelling but the seaweed was pretty bad wherever we tried. Honestly that boat is so awesome that it was fun to just drive and enjoy the wind and water and the gorgeous views. For our last activity we went to a deserted beach to shell and to swim in the calm water - perfect end to the day.
Trish and Breadlyn were VERY attentive to our needs and requests, and Breadlyn was really proactive and participated in the activities like snorkeling and cliff jumping - the kids loved him and still talk about how much fun he was. The Serenity is an impressive powerful boat and we were 100% comfortable with Trish, who is an amazing captain and boat driver and really professional. The food was really good, and we had juice and pastries and lemon water ready for us when we first boarded. Lunch was good, too. Trish and Breadlyn shared a lot of information about the places we passed and it was really nice to chat with them throughout the day. We felt very taken care of and really appreciated how professional and safety conscious they were. We will definitely book them again next year, and if you go, request Trish and Breadlyn!
We did a 1/2 day excursion w/ Trish as Captain and Dino as 1st Mate. We couldn't have had a better time. The trip started with snorkeling at... read more the Leeward Reef which was absolutely amazing. Dino's skills are unbelievable and he showed us many great craters and crevasses. We then headed to Iguana Island and some other remote beaches and sandbars. The food and drinks were great as well. It was a prefect day on the water and a great way to see the islands. I would highly recommend this to everyone.
This was an amazing day trip. The crew were knowledgeable and friendly and the sites surpassed our expectations. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get away... read more and check out the islands.
