Dive in and swim along sea turtles and colorful fish. If you book a boat charter rental with Turks Tour Co., you can opt for a snorkeling stop along your journey. We provide the necessary gear.
For the best visibility during snorkeling, wait for sunny skies and calm waters. Generally, the weather allows for snorkeling year-round. However, the rainy season in Turks and Caicos runs from May through November, so the best season for snorkeling is December through April.

Paddleboarding is a popular water activity in Turks and Caicos, and there’s little wonder why. The clear, beautiful waters surrounding the islands are perfect for experienced and amateur paddleboarders alike. The calm flats of Leeward are well-suited to paddleboarding. Breezier bays, like Long Bay, may prove more challenging to paddleboarders. For the optimal paddleboarding experience, aim for a time of day with calm, glassy waters, such as early in the morning or in the hours leading up to sunset.
7) Kiteboarding Lesson in Long Bay
The Turks and Caicos Islands are famous among kiteboarders for optimal kiteboarding conditions. The wide, shallow Long Bay is especially well-suited for beginners. The shallow waters allow you to stand easily without being pulled along by the current. The steady winds make kiteboarding a year-round activity. Lessons start on land, where you’ll practice flying a trainer kite. Eventually, you’ll progress to making a water start. This maneuver allows you to pull yourself onto your board while flying your kite in the water.
