Turtle Tagging Safari on the Caicos Banks
This 3/4 day adventure takes you to the shallow waters of the Caicos Banks off the south coast of Middle and North Caicos, where there is an abundance of turtles and marine life. With the expert guidance of our Resident Naturalist and legendary fishermen Dave Clare and Gilbert Jennings, learn how to catch, flipper tag and release turtles in the wild. Accompanying TCI’s most renowned and colorful fishing duo offers our guest an authentic cultural experience while also contributing to the livelihoods of these TCI fishermen. Take this opportunity to give back to these beautiful island, the people and the endangered sea turtles.
Satellite Tagging Sea Turtles
To date, the Turks and Caicos Islands Turtle Project has satellite-tagged 10 sea turtles with ground-breaking information having been generated on their behavior and movement. This once-in-a-lifetime experience will involve you accompanying our naturalist and expert fishermen to the pristine Caicos Banks to capture a suitable turtle, and return to Amanyara to attach the satellite-tag before releasing the turtle into the wild. You along with your family and friends can then follow your turtle’s journey online via daily updates while also helping to promote scientific discovery regarding these magnificent animals.
*note satellite tagging needs to be arranged 8-12weeks in advance. For more
