Providenciales Boat Tour Tips: Plan Like a Pro

Best Time of Day

Morning tours (8–11am) bring calm seas, cooler air, and better snorkeling visibility. Afternoon and sunset trips offer warmer water and golden-light photo ops. If your priority is snorkeling and sea turtles, choose morning; if it’s a laid-back vibe and cocktails, go afternoon or sunset.

What to Pack

• Reef-safe sunscreen and sunglasses (polarized lenses help with spotting wildlife)
• Light cover-up or rash guard for sun protection
• Waterproof phone pouch or GoPro for photos
• Cash/card for floating bars or tips
• Hydration and snacks (many charters include water/fruit, but bring extras if you like)

Seasickness & Comfort

If you’re prone to motion sickness, take precautions—non-drowsy Dramamine or a motion wristband 30–60 minutes before departure. Choose a larger catamaran or sit closer to the stern for more stability. And remember, the captain can suggest routes with calmer water if needed.

Itinerary Tips

• Half-Day: Reef snorkel → Iguana Island → Sandbar dip
• Full-Day: Add deep snorkeling, conch diving, and Grace Bay cruise
• Party Vibes: Sandbar swim → Noah’s Ark floating tiki bar → Sunset cruise

Your captain will plan around tides and wind so you get the smoothest, most scenic experience.

Crew Etiquette

Your crew is there to make your day safe and unforgettable. A few quick etiquette tips:

• Listen to safety briefings—especially for snorkeling or water toys
• Respect wildlife—no touching turtles or coral
• A 15–20% gratuity is customary if you had a great time

Local Extras

Want to make it unique? Add-ons like tubing, Subwing, or a seafood lunch elevate your charter. Your captain can also suggest quiet coves or lesser-known snorkel reefs if you want to skip the crowds.
