Coming to the TCI and thinking of stuff to do whilst you're here? Maybe you're already here and looking for something a bit different? Well here's an idea for you .... try the Undersea Explorer.
The Semi-Sub as she's affectionately known, is the only one of its kind in the TCI. It's 'belly' is also the passenger cabin and it sits 5ft beneath the surface of the water. The belly has padded benches and air-con, so you sit in comfort and watch the underwater world cruising passed from your own viewing window.
What's unique about this vessel is not just the 'birds eye' (fish eye?) view of the coral reef (called 'patch reefs') but there's a naturalist tour guide on board who leads you through the experience. You get hear all about what you're seeing. The guide names the fish, tells you what's going on and how it all works and will point out the things you might not otherwise see. The guide also has a walky-talky so is in constant contact with the Captain, you see something cool, if he can, he'll turn round and go see it again!
There are 2 tours to choose from:
Turtle Reef Adventure
For all the family, travel around up to 7 different patch reefs. See Parrot Fish, Blue Tang, Snappers, Grouper, Trumpet Fish, Squirrel Fish, Trunk Fish, Coney, Brain Coral, Finger Coral, Soft Coral, Sponges and TURTLES!
Yes we see Green Turtles (and the occasional Hawksbill) on our tours, between 5-20 individual specimens every time. That's right ... you will get to see these beautiful endangered animals, in their natural habitat, displaying natural behaviours ... there is no other tour operator on island that can give you that.
Mermaid Adventure
This one's for the young and the young at heart - travel to a secret spot, blow the magical conch horn and Mermaid Bella comes from the blue to say hello! Sometimes a little shy at first, but after just a few minutes Bella is up at your window peering inside, swimming around outside your window and if you're lucky, blowing you Mermaid Kisses :)
Safe to say that camera's are a must on this tour and we mustn't forget to mention the dreaded Pirate Capt. Jack Swift who might just put in an appearance as well. Though no need to worry, the most 'dreaded' thing about him are his jokes! After Bella says goodbye, we travel on to see Reef and Turtles ... a really fun experience, one of a kind and great for all the family.
See www.caicostours.com for more info and some great tips on our 'things to know' page to help you get the most out of your time on board! You can also read more about the tours on Trip Advisor.
This is the only public tour that Mermaid Bella appears on, if you'd like to spend time with Bella one on one then visit the website www.flukesandflippers.com, or email directly on info@flukesandflippers.com.

"Lightly educational as well as light hearted, but most importantly, it's fun"
