Along the north shore of Providenciales lies Princess Alexandra National Park. This 6500 acre protected marine park is home to the third largest coral reef system in the world, making snorkelling and diving absolutely spectacular. An abundance of sea life awaits snorkelers and divers, including turtles, dolphins, reef sharks and rays.
Snorkelling ~ The Turks and Caicos offer some exceptional snorkeling. The best reefs are slightly offshore and a short boat ride away. There are numerous patch reefs, and a long barrier reef that runs parallel to the north shore of Providenciales. Unquestionably, the Turks and Caicos are a snorkeler’s paradise and visitors should make at least one trip to the reef during their stay.
Scuba Diving ~ Crystal clear waters, great visibility, teeming fish life, healthy coral, incredible walls – diving in the waters around Providenciales, West Caicos, Grand Turk, Salt Cay, South Caicos or French Cay rates among the best worldwide. Virtually untouched, the barrier reef has been protected and is now one of the top 10 diving destinations in the world. Numerous dive operators offer excellent service. Whether you are already certified or would like to learn, we can arrange a variety of trips to suit your needs.
Boat Cruises ~ Full day or half day cruises let you enjoy the sun, the sand and the sea all while relaxing on a beautiful sailboat. Stop at Iguana Island, then snorkel or go shelling. You may even want to just stay aboard and catch some rays – really, the journey is up to you. Just relax and enjoy. Catamarans and Pontoon Boats – Full days, ½ days, private or groups, we will make it a day for fun and adventure.
Kayak / SUP ~ For those who would rather stay above the water, there are plenty of options! Kayaks are available for rent, as well as guided eco tours through the mangroves. SUP (Stand Up Paddle) boarding is also a fun option. Instruction is provided before heading out on the SUP board for an eco tour.
Seadoos ~ The best way to explore the amazing shallow water on the less frequented south side of the islands where the water is typically calm. Discover other islands: Parrot Cay, Pine Cay and Dellis Cay. 1 or 2 hour trips available, either with a guide or without. Participants must be 16 years and older only.
Fishing ~ Fishing in Turks and Caicos is an experience not to be missed! The rich waters surrounding Providenciales offers deep sea fishing for Mahi, Tuna, Marlin and Wahoo. When bottom fishing you are almost guaranteed to bring home Grouper or Snapper. Bonefishing in the islands is among the best in the world. Public trips and private charters are readily available.
Parasailing ~ An excellent way for you to explore the beauty of the Turks and Caicos from a Birds Eye View. Each flight lasts about 15 minutes taking you up as high as 450 feet- this is one excursion not to be missed. With a view of the entire island below, the powder white sand, or perhaps even a turtle or ray swimming in the crystal clear blue waters, you will find the view breathtaking. Single or tandem flights are available all day, every day along Grace Bay.
Golfing ~ Golfing Provo Golf Club has been rated in the top ten of the Caribbean golf courses and has received rave reviews from Golf Magazine, Golf Week and Golf Digest. The Provo Golf Course is one of the very best conditioned courses in the Caribbean. The quality of turf is tremendous and, along with the unique layout and easy access, it’s a pleasant surprise to golfers who try the course for the first time. Taylor Made clubs are available for rent.
Land Tours ~ Several land tours are also offered in Providenciales. These guided, half day trips highlight the history of the islands and take guests ‘off the beaten path’, to areas that visitors normally would not see during their visit to the island. Tour the island in a safari style bus with a local guide, or in the comfort of air conditioning in a San Francisco style trolley.
Horse Back Riding ~ Fulfill your dream of horseback riding on the beach and into the shallow waters with a backdrop of white sand and turquoise water. Ride along the quiet dirt roads, canals and secluded beaches of Long Bay. 60 or 90 minute rides are available for all experience levels, from beginner to expert. Weight limits apply to this activity.
