All day snorkel excursion Turks and Caicos

Alright, we are a bit at sea on this all day snorkel excursion thing. I've read til my eyes are crossed, but I still need help. I apologize in advance, but if you don't ask, and you don't get it, you won't know.

We are interested in information on an all day snorkel.

Who to use?

What is the typical cost [I am seeing prices that run the gamet! Very high to quite reasonable].

I like the one someone mentioned that went all day and went to caves, and other parts of the island, as well as snorkeling.

Iguana Island...worth the stop?

How many snorkel stops in a full day trip?

Now then, we come to half day trips. Very interested in this as well [we may do both].

Pretty much same questions.
Who to use
how much is typical cost, etc...

but who gives you jmore bang for your buck?
Who makes the most stops, and how many stops do you get in a half day trip?

Just think, in 3 weeks I'll be there, and won't be asking all these questions!!! Yikes...sorry, but we like to be very prepared for this type of thing.

Thank you!

Hi
We have been going to Provo for many years now . I find that Caicos Dream Tours has the best full Day excursions They stop around 4 or 5 differant spots also dive for Conch and deserted Island for a BBQ. It runs around $179 for a full and $89 for a half day. They have a hut set up for reservations between the Alexandra Resort and the Palms Resort. www.caicosdreamtours.com
Have a great vacation

Hi, After doing extensive research on this we decided to do the Middle Caicos Tour with Silver Deep (Silverdeep.com). Spoke to quite a few who have done this and said its the best. It covers a tour of the Conch Bar Cave, Mudjadin Beach which is highly spoken of. You will see an area where Flamingos are also a snorkeling stop and a visit to Iguna Island. The cost is $169 for adults and $85 for children. Not going till June so I can not speak of it first hand. If you go to the tripadvisors.com site there are many reviews that discuss it. Have a great trip. They also have a Snorkel Mania excursion which is not an all day trip but 3 hours of snorkeling varies sites which we also plan to do. The cost for that is $68 adults $45 children. Please post a trip report when you return it is amazing how much you can learn from others. Im sure you will love what ever you chose, Have Fun!

Thank you both, so very much, for posting this information. We may do the all day trip...and do another [the snorkel mania] and that way we get the best of both!

I am checking out the sites you've both listed, and adding them to my trip info.

I certainly WILL post a trip report upon our return. I always learn so much from others reports and love to share my own. I also hope to post pictures to a photo hosting site to share.

18 days til we are having fun in the sun [I've forgotten what the sun looks like!!!]

We have the same questions. We've been going over all the tours/excursions listed onvariouswe-sites and haven't narrowed it down. We would be interested in knowing who you choose and if you liked them. We are going in May.
