This way you can experience the islands with a local, knowledgeable tour guide and get more done in a single day. In today’s article, we're going to go over some of the best excursions in Turks & Caicos and what there is to do while you’re there. Let’s dive right in!

Excursions

Jet Skiing Around La Famille Ship and Smaller Pristine Cays

Turks & Caicos is mostly known as a destination for relaxation but there is plenty of adventure here! Old shipwrecks line the coast of the islands and are easily accessible. So, on this tour, you’ll visit the La Famille Express shipwreck and the smaller Pristine Cays all on the back of a jet ski. The excursion lasts about two hours so it won’t take up your entire day, but it may give you some much-needed adrenaline!

Mangrove & Iguana Clear Kayak Tour

The Mangroves in the Caribbean are the best places for wildlife viewing. This is mostly because the Mangroves tend to be dense, and a great hiding place from humans. This tour involves getting into a clear Kayak and exploring through the eyes of a local. It’s almost like a Caribbean safari. You’ll be able to see wildlife and several plant species along your boat tour. Make sure to have your camera ready though, you may see some manatees or dolphins if you’re lucky!

2 Hour Champagne Sunset Cruise from Grace Bay (Adults Only)

A sunset is always ten times pretty when you’re on vacation! Especially when you’re in the Caribbean. This next tour is also short but it’s the perfect evening excursion to end the day. You’ll glide down Grace Bay for sunset viewing and champagne tasting.

Jet Ski Adventure to Split Rock, Pirates Cove, Iguana Bay Cay

As you can probably tell by now, a lot of the excursions offered in Turks & Caicos revolve around the gorgeous Atlantic. Fitting, isn’t it? On this tour, you’ll have the opportunity to ride a jet ski to some of the best spots on the islands such as Pirates Cove, Iguana Bay Cay, and Split Rock. Pirates Cove is one of the most underrated spots within Turks & Caicos and legend states that it used to be a hideout spot for pirates in the early 1600s.

Gibbs Cay Stingray and Conch Dive Adventure

It’s not a Caribbean vacation without snorkeling! Snorkeling in Gibbs Cay is well worth the hype. The waters are crystal clear, the breeze is warm and the sand is ultra soft, it’s one of those places that will completely blow your mind when you get there. There are also many native species like conch, lobster, stingrays, and lots of species of tropical fish. If you’re lucky, you may even see a sea turtle or perhaps a dolphin.

Grand Turk: Whale Watching

Whale watching should be an activity that’s on everyone bucket list. It’s absolutely incredible to see these giant mammals up close. During their migration from January - March, you can expect to see many sperm and humpback whales in the Caribbean. Sperm whales are especially playful and will breach unexpectedly. Watching a whale breach is a highlight for anyone and is a fascinating experience overall. Whale watching as a whole is a magical experience and what better place to experience it than in Turks & Caicos?
