The conch farm was a pretty decent experience. You can see how the conch are raised and you can buy shells . Worth the 10 bucks admission? Yeah I think so!

They are in a rebuilding phase so, not as much to see but interesting to learn about the Conch. Get there early as there is not much shade.

Having grown up in the Caribbean waters, I was worried this tourist venue would be hokey or a rip-off. Absolutely not! Though the tour was short, I learned all kinds of things about conch I had no idea about. Their plans for fish farming were even interesting to us. The bio lesson at the end with the "tame" Sally and... More

The Conch Farm is a MUST for anyone who wants to learn about an industry that SUSTAINS the TCI, and a DEFINITE MUST for those who like to EAT conch, lobster, or fish from anywhere in the world. Staff at the Conch Farm will casually teach you more than you ever knew about the trials that come with and effort... More

Although perhaps a bit limited, good effort in trying to convey info on this island staple and wonderful staff who do the tour in a casual, friendly and informative style. Tour only takes 20-30 minutes, but we learned some new interesting stuff.

I really didn't know what to expect when traveling to the conch farm. Before going to Turks and Caicos, I didn't even know what a conch was, but I really enjoyed the experience. The tour started out with a brief history of the conch and how Turks and Caicos became a major exporter. Then we went on to see the... More

The 30 minute conch farm tour was well worth the twelve bucks. Hearing how the conch develope and seeing all the sizes of conch in the pond was very interesting. They also have fish and turtles. They told us about the very efficient food conversion ratio of the fish they are growing and about a new kind of fish farming... More

The conch farm tour was very interesting. In addition to the many sizes of conch we saw four species of fish they are growing and some big rescued sea turtles. The tour guide was knowledgable and intertaining and the trained conch, Sally & Jerry, came completly out of their shell for us. This is a great 30 minute tour for... More

Richard was a great guide. I knew nothing about Conch and learned a lot with his explanations. Conch is quite an amazing animal. The place is a bit run down, but definitively worth the visit if you take the 20 min tour. You'll get to meet conch's Jerry and Sally and find out how to tell them apart. Be prepared... More

Difficult finding Conch Farm. Drove around for a couple hours but could not find it. Wasn't located on Island map. Never did find it and we were sorry we missed out.
