Combine the best of land and sea on a tram tour and snorkeling adventure in Grand Turk! After a loop around the island aboard the tram, you'll experience some of the best snorkeling in the Caribbean at two snorkel sites in Grand Turk's Marine Park. Drive past Duke Street and stroll downtown before stopping at a lighthouse at the island's highest point. Then descend to the depths of Turks and Caicos' underwater world as you explore the world's third largest reef with an expert guide.
Make your way to White Sands Beach Hotel and board the Island Tram, where you'll meet your knowledgeable local guide. Departing from the south end of Grand Turk, your tram loops around the entire island every 90 minutes. Hear onboard commentary as you gaze out your window and stop at several sites en route.
Pass Governor's Beach and the governor's mansion on your way into town, driving by the historic Duke Street, where you'll find a variety of small hotels, dive shops and 19th-century Bermuda-style homes. Your tram stops in the downtown area for 10 to 15 minutes, where you'll have a chance to walk around. Explore the historical buildings, shop at the souvenir stands or grab a beverage and a quick snack of local food (own expense).
Re-board the tram and head to the highest point of Grand Turk on the north end of the island. Here, stop at the lighthouse, where you can get out for great photo ops of the limestone cliffs and the monument. As your tram passes the centuries-old town ponds, your guide will inform you about the Turks islanders who used to rake and harvest the salt for export.
When the land portion of your tour is complete, your tram will return you to the beach next to the cruise center for a 15- to 20-minute break to rest on a lounge chair, use the restroom or purchase another snack (own expense). Then, prepare to get wet on a snorkeling tour in the Caribbean Sea!
Once you board the boat, ride to your first snorkel site, a quick 10 to 15 minutes away. After your captain-guide gives your group a safety orientation and helps with equipment, you'll spend about 45 minutes exploring the calm waters and coral gardens of this shallow reef. Get acquainted with a variety of tropical fish in this protected marine sanctuary as your guide ensures your comfort and safety at all times.
At the second site, peek into the abyss while snorkeling the wall - a spot where the sea floor suddenly drops in depth from just 15 feet (5 meters) to 7,000 feet (2,133 meters)! Watch scuba divers disappear into the mysterious depths of this unforgettable underwater world before returning to the cruise center. Additional Info
