Turks and Caicos – Things to Do
Turks and Caicos has a colorful, rich history and culture providing visitors with a great array of exciting places to visit. Sightseeing in Turks and Caicos is enhanced by the overall beauty of the Islands, covered in rich botanical life, undisturbed beaches and an impressive bird population. Aside from a serene setting, graced with beaches and nature trails, Turks and Caicos offers many exotic places of interest, some of which you will find on our site. Nothing can describe seeing it in person – book your stay with us today!
The world’s largest per-capita area of land set aside for preservation is located right here, a national park system developed in 1992 set aside more than 325 square miles in 33 protected areas in this island group whose slogan is “Beautiful by Nature.” Many of these parks are available for you to enjoy. On North Caicos, you can walk around the ruins of a plantation site at Flamingo Pond, or perhaps you`ll explore the conch bar caves and nature trails on Middle Caicos. Tons to do!
Turks and Caicos Islands Activities
The Turks & Caicos Islands are very special, a unique destination for those who simply want to “get away from it all” and experience a really “laid back” vacation free from stress and the worries and problems of everyday life. The islands offer that peace and serenity so often missing from our busy lives, somewhere we can simply kick off our shoes, relax and be pampered. But for those with excess energy or inquiring minds there is much to see and do apart from sipping on a favourite cocktail and watching the beautiful sunsets.
For those with adventure in their hearts, there is ample opportunity to indulge the spirit that moves you. Getting out on the water and away from Provo for the day is the perfect way to get acquainted with the wilder side of the islands. Exciting half-day, full-day and evening trips will show you a bit of what island living is all about. Visit the endangered iguanas on Little Water Cay, snorkel off the reef, free dive for conch, hunt in the shallow waters off Fort George Cay for sand dollars, have a fresh lobster and seafood cookout on the beach or wander even further off the beaten path on an excursion to West Harbour Bluff or even Middle Caicos. Your tour desk can assist you in booking an excursion package that is uniquely catered to your needs. You can go wherever your imagination will take you.
There are many fun activities and lots to do for everyone, and staying at your private suite at Trade Winds will complete your dream vacation.
