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.
Captain Mike took us out on serenity for a half-day snorkel tour. He spotted a whale surfacing in the distance and was able to get us close. He then put... read more us in the water and we got to swim with the mama whale and her calf! It was very respectful of her demeanor and position being with a newborn calf.
Kait Van was able to track down some comfortable wild dolphins that we got to swim with. What a great experience.
It literally was one of the best adventures we have had. Mike and the first mate Niamh were on point and we have already booked them again for our return trip. Thank you folks!
We so enjoyed the crew. They went out of their way to make it perfect. My husband was not feeling great and missed the last stop. Amanda gladly took our... read more GoPro and did a few dive (60 feet) with it so we didn’t have to really miss anything. Our captain Lili was awesome. We also enjoyed the other girl but didn’t catch her name. So thankful for the experience.
Our tour guide was very informative and friendly. We felt it was a good value for the different sights, experiences and the duration of the trip. Kayaked to a few... read more different locations, saw iguanas, kayaked in the mangrove cay and saw some conch and caught glimpses of a small nurse shark. Had a chance to swim in a small isolated bay. They provided cold ice water and snacks.
My husband and I have had some kayaking experience before. Would recommend asking the tour guides for more instruction on braking and changing direction in kayak if you’ve never been kayaking before.
Would recommend applying bug repellent for the mosquitoes on iguana island and reapplying sunscreen halfway through the day if it’s very sunny.
Our group had an amazing time on the All Day - Edge of the Banks Tour! The snorkeling locations were perfect, and we were lucky to see all kinds of... read more marine life, including sting rays, eagle rays, reef sharks, lobsters, squids, and a variety of fish. We also really enjoyed the boat ride itself, along with a lovely stop on a small island (French Cay).
Lily, Jake, and John were awesome! Each one of them was friendly, knowledgable, and skilled at guiding us in the water to discover more and more marine life.
We highly recommend Big Blue Collective - what a perfect day!
Excellent tour with great guides. Provided plenty of water, dry sacks, great equipment and perfect snacks.
Saw tons of turtles and iguanas with sharks, fish and conch in the mangroves.... read more
The full day "Edge of the Banks" snorkeling with Big Blue Collective was by far my best day in the Turks and Caicos islands. There's no guarantee that you can... read more see whales and dolphins, but because there's plenty of time, the team really tried hard to not only let us see some, but also have us swim near them. We did both and it was absolutely magical. The lunch time spot with nobody else around was quite fun too: good food, good company, jumping off the boat and off cliffs into the turquoise waters. It made me feel like a kid again.
We loved this excursion and our crew was amazing! Michael, Ali and Laura were fun, personable, professional, shared their knowledge, always kept safety in the forefront and overall just made... read more for a lovely day. The small group size was really nice, with the crew making a point of connecting with everyone. Food and snacks were delicious and plentiful. We snorkeled in multiple locations and we hit the trifecta with sharks, dolphins and humpback whales. We had a whale breaching in front of us, and then a mom with her curious calf who circled the boat. The crew guided those who were interested in swimming with both the dolphins and the whales. Not for me, but the videos they captured of the whales were just amazing - I have some regret in not going in:)! By far our favorite experience and would highly recommend Big Blue Collective. We'll definitely go again on our next trip to T&C.
