Turks & Caicos Activities
Highlights the best Turks & Caicos has to offer, from art and culture to fun-packed activities; we've even found the most inspiring place to enjoy the views from.
Worth getting out of bed for
- Viewpoint
- Head to the western fringes of Providenciales for stunning views of the Chalk Sound National Park. Stand above the three mile-long bay and look down onto brilliant turquoise waters dotted with tiny mushroom-like islands. The semi-surreal scene is like something out of a Super Mario Brothers video game.
- Arts and culture
- The Turks and Caicos Islands National Museum in Cockburn Town on Grand Turk showcases the islands’ cultural heritage, and is the place to come to see jewellery, early tools made from shells and what’s left of the Molasses Reef – the earliest known shipwreck in the Americas. Also check out Cockburn Town’s General Post Office, which exhibits the beautiful, artist-designed stamps that has made the islands’ philately famous around the world – well, in stamp-collecting circles anyway…
