Turks and Caicos · CLEAR KAYAK TOURS IN PROVIDENCIALES
Good clear kayak tours in Providenciales fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
You’ll spend about two hours exploring Mangrove Cay in a transparent tandem kayak, with guides such as Mikey, Daniel, DJ, and Benslie pointing out turtles, rays, conch, jellyfish, and juvenile sharks. Hotel pickup is offered in Providenciales. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and mosquito repellent.
“Mikey was an excellent tour guide! He was funny, shared a love and respect for the mangroves and environment, attentive and safe.”
Paddle a transparent kayak through the calm mangrove channels of Providenciales with guides such as Miracle, Mikey, Daniel, and Bensley. Expect turtles, juvenile sharks, stingrays, conch, birds, and a stop at Iguana Island.

You may receive 60 or more photos and one to two video clips, with editing handled separately.
“Pictures turned out okay but it was literally 15 mins, not edited pictures, the people before me had so much more time and if it asked if you want a add on to the booking it’s a scam there is no flowers or anything to add on”
Spend about 30 minutes posing on Grace Bay’s white sand and turquoise water in a transparent kayak while a photographer and drone pilot capture aerial shots. Island Adventure includes hotel pickup for Providenciales stays, all raw photos, and five edited images. Photographers such as Tony, Quan, Faygo, and Benzi are praised for helpful pose direction.

Paddle a clear-bottom kayak through Mangrove Cay, looking for turtles, lemon sharks, rays, conch, and jellyfish, then visit Little Water Cay’s rock iguanas. Guides such as Jean Innocent, Gene, and Bryson may lead the trip. Expect some jet-ski towing, changing tide conditions, wind, and time in the water.
“Our guide Jean Innocent was excellent. Make sure you check the tide before you book. Low tide means that you can't go in the mangrove!!!”

Join Clear Wave Tours in Providenciales for a two-hour, beginner-friendly paddle through Mangrove Cay. Guides such as Joe, Jon, and Romeo point out turtles, baby lemon sharks, conch, stingrays, jellyfish, fish, and birds. The water is shallow, the boats are clear, and early tours can offer calmer conditions and fewer people.
“The Mangrove water was only 1-3 feet deep. We kept getting stuck in the sand, not only us, our whole group did. No point in having a clear bottom kayak if all you see is sand. Also our kayak had a patch that leaked and we had 2" of water in it within 5 minutes. Not enough to see. Saw small turtle swimming by another picked up a conch and let us all hold it”
Paddle clear kayaks through the mangrove waterways of Providenciales with guides such as Archie or Nick, watching for turtles, stingrays, lemon sharks, baby sharks, jellyfish, and conch. The 2 to 3 hour trip includes gear, water, snacks, dry bags, and pickup options, ending near Emerald Beach.
“Great experience & service from the staff! They provide transportation -minor logistic hiccup, recommend really trying to clarify pickup /dropoff logistics. On the water, they were very informative, entertaining and provided ample time to see an experience, the turtles and the conch shells, which was a pleasure to experience.”
Meet near Grace Bay for a 40-minute clear kayak drone photoshoot with Dove Clear Kayak. Swizzy and Kelly may handle the session, creating aerial photos and videos that combine you, the transparent kayak, and Turks and Caicos scenery. Pickup is offered, and the group can include up to 20 people.
“Amazing & super professional. My shots & videos came out incredible. I was so pleased. If I left this trip with just these photos & videos I’d be beyond satisfied with my trip. Swizzy & his partner Kelly were great! Thank you so much for making my photoshoot a magical one & yielding these epic results!!!”
Paddle a clear kayak through the shallow mangrove channels of Providenciales with a local guide who points out turtles, lemon sharks, and other marine life below.

“Kayaks weren’t in great repair, and have low sides for the amount of chop so bailing needed. They put twelve kayaks in this tour, too many for a single guide. Nonetheless great fun and mild adventure between the rain, wake, chop, a little capsizing and rocky shoals, good times!”
