Overview
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 CayJoin 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. On Gibbs Cay the captain will do a conch demonstration and make you fresh conch salad (conch ceviche)
If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
