The Sands at Grace Bay has partnered with Ocean Vibes LTD, a leading PADI dive and snorkel facility in Providenciales, to offer a “Snorkeler’s Paradise” vacation package for stays of four consecutive nights or more made for travel now through December 21, 2011. Guests who book this offer will receive their fourth night free, plus reduced rates for one of Ocean Vibes’ most popular excursions: a half-day snorkeling adventure that includes snorkeling along the barrier reef as well as a secluded island and beach tour.

The complete Snorkeler’s Paradise package includes hotel accommodations at The Sands at Grace Bay resort for four nights; resort taxes and fees; a “Half-Day Snorkeling Adventure Excursion” for two adults with private beachside pickup by boat; option of purchasing additional snorkel excursion tickets for a reduced rate of $75 pp for adults and $45 for children; and free use of the resort’s non-motorized watersports including snorkeling gear, Hobie Cats, kayaks and windsurfing equipment.

The Ocean Vibes Half-Day Snorkeling Adventure consists of a power catamaran boat ride through the uninhabited cays and secluded beaches of Providenciales, with the opportunity to snorkel the barrier reef. Guests will be picked up by boat before embarking on a three-and-a-half-hour tour that includes use of top-quality snorkeling equipment and expert snorkel instruction, signature rum punch, bottled water and snacks as well as the chance to dive for conch and watch crew prepare a fresh conch salad for all. Participants will also take a trip to Iguana Island for an up-close encounter with the island’s native rock iguanas, which includes an additional park entrance fee of $5 pp.

The Sands at Grace Bay is offering the Snorkeler’s Paradise travel package for new bookings made for four consecutive nights or more through December 21. While the lowest package rates start from $800 ppdo for a four-night stay in a Studio Courtyard Suite, this offer is valid for all room categories so rates vary based on room type, additional night add-ons and hotel availability at the time of booking. To book this offer, the “Snorkel” travel package must be requested at time of booking.
