A decent tour with a knowledgeable guide in Bryson, but we got somewhat hungry and tired Great tour led by Bryson that both Caribbean Cruisin and the broker (TCI Experiences) were gracious enough to reschedule for the end of our week stay because of bad weather. The tour itself was an excellent biodiversity excursion, featuring baby lemon sharks, sea turtles, and a conch - all abundantly present in the "nursery" that is Mangrove Cay. The conch was in particular memorable, as we had the opportunity to look at the living mollusc close-up and learn about it from both a biological and cultural perspective (i.e. its importance to the original/early people of Turks & Caicos in the wider context of the ocean as the sustainer of their livelihood). The tour of Iguana Island was also a great way to see the results of a successful effort in species resuscitation.
A couple of things would have really made this experience stand out, however:
(1) we wish some snacks had been provided along with the water (or at least advice to pack our own, in advance)
(2) we had little to no time at the reef to look for stingrays, and
(3) we had no break time (we did observe other groups we had run across during the tour who were able to stop and relax on the Cay or in the waters near the reef)
