Where Is Noah’s Ark?

Noah’s Ark floats over the shallow turquoise sand flats of the Caicos Banks, just northeast of Providenciales. Surrounded by 360° views and shallow water, it’s one of the island’s most photogenic boat-day stops.

How to Get There

1) Private Boat / Charter

Most visitors add Noah’s Ark to a custom Providenciales boat tour—snorkel reefs, then float in for cocktails and music before continuing to the sandbar or Half Moon Bay. Captains handle docking and timing around tides/crowds.

2) Shuttle / Water Taxi

No boat? Take the Noah’s Ark shuttle from Blue Haven/Leeward (~$30 round-trip). Schedules depend on the day and events—always confirm ahead.

Tip: Message ahead for DJ events or Sundays; shuttles can sell out.

What to Expect

• Music & Events: DJs daily; Sundays = biggest crowds and high-energy vibe.
• Food & Drinks: Island menu, cocktails, and rum punches; offerings vary.
• Payments: Cash and cards accepted (carry both).

Best Time to Go

Sundays are the ultimate party—expect a packed crowd and DJs. For families or a more relaxed vibe, visit weekdays or earlier in the day. Late morning–afternoon gives bright aqua for photos; sunsets glow over the Caicos Banks.

Docking & Boat Logistics

• Arrival: Captains coordinate with staff for docking and anchoring.
• Shallow Water: Only experienced captains should approach—depths are minimal.

Costs & Reservations

• Private Boat: Covered by your charter hours; no extra fee to stop.

Rules & Safety
