Our Grand Turk whale watching adventure gives you a front row seat to one of the most impressive shows on earth, here in the Turks & Caicos Islands. You might be lucky enough to witness these beautiful, impressive and gentle humpback whales put on a repertoire of mind blowing behaviours ranging from males’ acrobatic competition for a female, a single male’s haunting pursuit of a mate or a whale mother’s gentle educational displays to a newly arrived calf.

Seeing these amazing creatures live, often at an arm’s length, has changed the lives of many people: let it touch your heart and enrich your way of seeing the world! In water encounters are possible when sea and behavioural conditions are ideal.

What you'll do

Grand Turk
Grand Turk, Caribbean
Humpback whale watching season is at its best in between mid January and mid April. You'll board the specially designed and built whale watching vessel at the beach for a 3.5 hour journey out to an area that has had many sightings. The boat has an elevated fly-bridge giving the captain a higher vantage point and increasing the possibility of sightings. The captain will also try to coordinate with other boats in the area. Once whales are located, the boat will head out to where they are and observe them from a distance, being careful not to startle them or disrupt them, whilst giving you a front row seat to the greatest show on earth. Sometimes they will approach the boat and hang around for a while.
