Snorkel Kayak Adventure

Enjoy this calm and serene area as you look for the marine and bird life. Climb back onboard the boat for a short journey to one of the small cays to enjoy a picnic lunch and a walk on the beach. Spend some quality time exploring the coral reefs. One or two stops will be made for snorkeling and Big Blue's knowledgeable marine guides and boat captains will ensure your questions and curiosities are satisfied.

Heart of the Islands
Book ItBig Blue Unlimited's signature eco-tour to North and Middle Caicos embodies the philosophies of eco-tourism better than any other. It is a full day that blends exploration, relaxation, and culture. The group size is kept small and private transport is provided by boat and air-conditioned vehicle across the islands.
Begin the adventure up to North Caicos to tour the historical Wades' Green cotton plantation (managed by the TCI National Trust) and experience some native cuisine in the home of local matriarch Susan Butterfield. En route to Middle Caicos, the largest and most sparsely populated island in the chain, stop to view pink flamingos that inhabit the Flamingo Pond Nature Reserve and enjoy the views that stretch across Bottle Creek. Once on Middle Caicos explore an extensive limestone cave system that has given rise to some impressive stalactites and stalagmites and is home to a multitude of fruit bats. Drive onto the village of Conch Bar to grab refreshments and visit the handcraft co-op. This is an excellent place to pick-up quality souvenirs that directly benefits the local communities. The day is rounded off with some time to swim and enjoy the magnificent seascape at Mudjin Harbour, probably the most spectacular beach and cliff scenery of the TCI.
