Wildlife Safari
Introducing our extraordinary Ocean Wildlife Safari, a journey that promises an unforgettable adventure beyond the ordinary. While most are familiar with Africa’s famous Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros—we take immense pride in presenting the Turks Islands Big Five, our very own collection of remarkable species. Prepare yourself for extraordinary encounters with the graceful Green Turtle, majestic Eagle Rays, playful Bottlenose Dolphins, and soaring Osprey. These iconic creatures, along with the impressive Flamingo and many others, epitomize the unique charm of our Ocean Wildlife Safari.
As you embark on this exclusive expedition, we will guide you through remote and secret itineraries, accessible to only a fortunate few. Cruising through tranquil lagoons and turquoise flats, we will venture off the beaten path and even navigate the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. Our team of local experts will be with you every step of the way, offering valuable insights into the area’s unique ecosystem and wildlife.

Disclaimer
At Talbot’s Adventures, we prioritize the safety and well-being of both our guests and marine life, including enchanting sea turtles and marine mammals. To ensure a respectful and enjoyable encounter for everyone involved, we strictly adhere to the following etiquette:
- Just Float: When near marine animals, the best approach is to simply float. By respecting their space, they may come closer if they wish to interact.
- Avoid Excessive Splashing: Refrain from splashing with your arms or legs excessively, as this could startle or disturb the marine creatures.
- No Touching: Under no circumstances should you attempt to touch the marine animals. Respect their natural environment and maintain a hands-off approach.
- Avoid Diving Towards Resting Animals: Be mindful of not diving down towards marine animals that are resting or seeking tranquility.
- No Feeding: Feeding marine life is both dangerous and illegal (Fisheries Protection Ordinance Reg 9(1)(g)). Please refrain from this activity to protect their well-being.
- No Interaction or Games: While it may be tempting to interact or play with marine animals, it’s crucial to let them behave naturally without any interference.
- Respect Specific Situations: Steer clear of pregnant female marine mammals, animals engaged in courtship or territorial behavior, and those in predator/prey relationships.
- Keep Our Oceans Clean: Littering is strictly prohibited. If you accidentally drop any personal items like hair ties, snorkels, or fins, retrieve them from the bottom of the ocean. Protecting their habitat is essential for safeguarding marine life.
- Speak Up for the Sea: If you witness any behavior that could harm marine animals or goes against these guidelines, please step forward and educate the individuals involved. Kindly explain to them the importance of respecting marine life and encourage them to change their behavior

MOOP Matters: Keeping the Wild in Harmony
At Talbot’s Adventures, we believe in experiencing the wonders of nature while leaving behind nothing but footprints.
MOOP, short for “Matter Out of Place,” refers to any items or debris that do not belong in the natural environment. As guardians of our beautiful planet, we are committed to minimizing our impact and keeping our surroundings pristine.
As you embark on your adventure with Talbot’s Adventures, we kindly ask that you respect the following guidelines:
- Pack It In, Pack It Out: Whatever you bring with you, take it back. From snack wrappers to water bottles, every piece of litter poses a threat to the environment and wildlife.
- Preserve Marine Life: The marine ecosystem is delicate and easily disrupted. Refrain from touching or feeding marine animals, and keep a respectful distance from them. Let them thrive undisturbed in their natural habitat.
- Minimize Plastic Usage: Plastics are one of the most significant threats to our oceans and marine life. Help us reduce plastic waste by using reusable containers and avoiding single-use plastics during our expeditions.
- Retrieve Lost Items: Accidents happen, and sometimes, gear or personal items might accidentally end up in the water. If you lose something, make every effort to retrieve it. If you can’t reach it, seek assistance from our crew or fellow adventurers.
- Educate and Advocate: Our shared responsibility extends beyond our tours. Educate others about the importance of environmental stewardship, and advocate for sustainable practices in all aspects of life.
