Get away from the crowds and join Exclusive Escapes, where we specialize in small-group experiences rooted in the culture and natural heritage of Grand Turk.
Board our vessel and cruise to Gibbs Cay, an uninhabited island known for its shallow turquoise waters and resident stingrays. Along the way, guests witness a meaningful cultural practice as the captain anchors and free dives for live conch using breath-hold technique only, without tanks or mechanical assistance—an expression of skill, tradition, and deep respect for the sea.
At Gibbs Cay, the captain conducts a cultural conch demonstration, carefully extracting the conch from its shell and sharing its significance in island life. Guests then enjoy a fresh conch delicacy tasting, along with water and a local rum punch tasting.
Guests also spend time in the shallow waters observing stingrays in their natural environment, moving freely along the sandy bottom, with an emphasis on presence and respect for wildlife.

Gibbs Cay
Join us as we cruise the crystal blue waters of Grand Turk for a 20-25 minute boat ride to Gibbs Cay. Gibbs Cay is an uninhabited island with white powdery sand and offers you and your guests the deserted island feel you often dream of experiencing when vacationing. On the way to Gibbs Cay we stop to do a live conch dive. This is a unique experience to watch the captain as he dives for live conch. Upon arrival to Gibbs Cay, we are greeted by our resident sting rays. The water here is shallow — about 2 feet (6 meters) deep — and stingrays abound. Bob in the water with your knowledgeable guide to learn about the stingrays’ habitats, breeding patterns and life alongside humans. Gibbs Cay allows you and your guests to interact with natures professional gliders. Even small children and non-swimmers will feel safe throughout the experience.

Great excursion at Grand Turk port

5.00It’s a great excursion at Grand Turks port. We were stopped at one reef area for snorkeling, then headed to the Gibbs Cay for sting ray touching. On our way back we had a taste of conch ceviche. The sea water was warm enough for comfortable snorkeling but fishes might not as many as some other snorkel spots at other Caribbean islands. At Gibbs Cay there were surely lots of sting rays so you would never come but see nothing. The captain answered our questions patiently and made sure everyone got a chance to touch the creature. Rum was provided along with conch salad on our way back, but there was no non-alcohol fruit punch for kids.
Fantastic Day on the Water

5.00Highly recommend Exclusive Escapes' Gibbs Cay / Conch Dive excursion. Everyone who works for this group is incredibly friendly and helpful. The weather forecast for our original date wasn't good but Exclusive reached out before we arrived to reschedule. They were very communicative and responded quickly to all messages. Once we got there we started our excursion with a stop on the water to snorkel among the beautiful fish. Then we headed over to Gibbs Cay but stopped along the way to dive for conch. At Gibbs Cay we spent lots of time with the stingray who gathered as the boat staff cleaned and prepped the conch. The conch ceviche they served was so good. One of the best things we ate on the island. All told, we were on the water or at Gibbs Cay for about 4 hours. What a great day!
Unforgettable memories

5.00Our experience with Exclusive Escapes Grand Turk was truly unforgettable and will always hold a special place in our family’s memories. From the very beginning, Exclusive Escapes made us feel so warmly welcomed—it felt like home right away. Once on the boat, the captain and shipmates treated our family of four like their own. They encouraged our girls to engage, welcomed their curiosity, and even allowed them to assist while teaching them with such enthusiasm and pride for their beautiful country. That personal touch meant everything to us. We will absolutely be returning. Thank you so much for the incredible hospitality, the love you showed our family, and the unforgettable memories you created. We are beyond grateful and will proudly share nothing but positivity about Exclusive Escapes Grand Turk.
An amazing refresher of home.

5.00This experience was absolutely amazing. I grew up on Grand Turk and they capture a sense of life in the water perfectly. I commend all those who work for Exclusive escapes as they are very accommodating, staff are very kind and knowledgeable about the water and will help you to the best of their ability. 10/10 experience, and I would 100% recommend it to anyone interested in the life of a Turks and Caicos Islander on the water.
Incredbile Excursion! One of the best I've ever done!

5.00I have traveled the world, and this was one of my favorite excursions I have ever done. It was incredible to see the conch be harvested behind the boat on the tour and then eat it right there on the tour. The shells are beautiful. The stingrays were incredible as well. The staff was very friendly. I am planning to take my family back there next year!

5.00My family and I went on the snorkelling and stingray tour - we had the best experience!! The local guides were fabulous and truely made the experience. So glad we chose to do this tour as the group was much smaller than all others and so we each far more time to interact with the rays. I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting the island. 10/10!
Awesome day

5.00Our family had a great time on this tour. The staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcomed. Watching them pull the conch from the ocean and then making us a salad from it was awesome. My wife is not a swimmer, but she was comfortable with getting into the water up to her waist, and our tour guide was more than helpful to bring the stingray to her so she could feel it on top and bottom. Our weather was perfect and the water was so clear. This was an experience we will never forget. The gentleman who we signed in with in the shack was able to walk us down to the beach and made sure we spoke with the people who rented out the lounge chairs and umbrellas, so that they would be reserved for us once we returned from our trip to spend the rest of the day swimming and relaxing.
I want to go back! Must do excursion!

5.00I am so glad I didn't cancel this excursion. I didn't think it was going to be as eventful as it actually was. The snorkeling was great! Saw lots of schools of fish. The ceviche was so good and the sting rays were so gentle and not afraid to interact with our group. I'm a shell collector and found some to add to my collection. The island we stopped at was nice and clean and the water was pristine! Jay Jay and Kelli were great tour guides and made the tour fun!
Everything lived up to...

5.00Everything lived up to the description plus some! Snorkeling was great with the captain throwing fish food to attract all the tropical fish around us. Stingrays and Conch was also amazing. Expect to learn a lot about the small island of Grand Turk and the wildlife you interact with. Waters were a little rough when we went so if you get seasick be prepared. Amazing service and would def do again.
