13 THINGS TO PLAN TO DO WHEN visiting the Turks & Caicos Islands

  Visit the rock iguanas
Resident only to the Turks and Caicos, these friendly critters can be found on “Iguana Island,” also known as Little Water Cay. $5 donation to the TCI National Trust requested upon arrival.

  Take an ATV tour
Froggie Williams will guide you through the backroads of his home neighborhood in the northwest corner of the island – Northwest Point, Malcom Roads Beach and Blue Hills – on an all terrain vehicle. A fun way to see the beaches and a remote part of the island of Providenciales.

Visit the National Environmental Center
A fun and informative way to learn about the indigenous wildlife and environment of the Turks and Caicos. Located in the Lower Bight area, just across from the children’s park, the NEC has some interesting exhibits and events, as well as helpful staff who can answer your questions about just about anything related to the environment or the national park system in TCI. Admission is free and it’s open from 8AM to 4:30PM daily.

  Tee it up at Provo Golf Club
A challenging but fun 18-hole track that is host to the Caribbean Championship in 2009. Always in great shape and a superb club house to enjoy the 19th hole. Full pro shop and rentals available.
Contact: Provo Golf Club. www.provogolfclub.com or 649 946 5991.
  Take a day trip to North Caicos
Just a short ferry ride from Provo, “North’ offers a very different island experience. Lush green scenery, deserted beaches and the famous pink flamingo pond make for an enjoyable day trip. Friendly folks will show you around their homes and you’ll experience a side of the Caribbean very rarely seen anymore by tourists.

  Bring the kids to Fun World TCI
Min golf and a grand prix style go-kart track are the highlights at David’s family-friendly outpost on the east end of Leeward Highway. Video game arcade and a full service restaurant and bar, too. Join the adult fun at Saturday nights, too, when karaoke breaks out and the next Turks and Caicos Idol is crowned.

WHATAREPEOPLESAYING?
I've always made our own reservations until I came across "Val" at Turks & Caicos Reservations. Who better to take care of your accomodations, car rental and any questions you may have regarding night life, shopping and restaurants, than someone who lives right there on the island!
