We visited Turks and Caicos in February and went out on the all day Dream Day excursion. It was amazing! The snorkeling was beautiful we saw sea turtles a spotted eagle ray and plenty of fish. The BBQ lunch on the beach was delicious and plenty to eat, chicken, lobster, potatoes, veggies, bread, chips, and plenty of rum punch. We... More

If you're not the type that is going to stay at an all-inclusive hotel, sit on their beach, eat at their restaurants, and swim in their pool and not venture out, you probably think it's just great. But, if you do rent a car and drive around you will be surprised at what you see. There is trash from one... More

This was our second trip to TCI. We went last year at the same time. We (4 of us) were going to rent a car to visit the Island of Providenciales (Provo) but after reading a review on TripAdvisor from two other tourists who had hired the services of Jarred Quant, a nice young man who now lives on the...

We stayed at the Comforts Suites which was located near Port O Call for shopping..We shopped in a few stores in the area but found that MAMA's was the most friendliest and with great prices. She was very welcoming and made us feel comfortable. She sold the same things as the other stores but was much cheaper! I recommend to... More

Very low key on the island, although the people there say Provo is the busiest. Really, compared to what we call busy in the state this is a piece of tranquility for me. Vry low key island with little to. Of course if you love water sports and the beach. This by far has been one of the most beautiful... More

Blue Whale Tours & Excursions is awesome! Captain Dameko and First Mate Anthony was great. Their new boat "Maximum Chill" is the best ever to the Turks and Caicos. They have a waterslide on it More

What is the driving like on the island? When we have traveled to other Caribbean islands, the drivers are crazy, which has deterred us from renting a car. We have never been to TCI, so we are unsure what to expect. After a little research is does seem that taxi's are expensive, so we would like to determine the best... More

Just finished 2 days of diving with Mickey and Jayne with Flamingo Divers. Not only are they wonderful friends now they are excellent when it comes to organizing, assisting and caring for all divers at all levels. I especially loved the fact that they have small groups so you can get to know the other divers and I always feel... More

Very little in the way of a downtown. A few pleasant shops, and the Gourmet food store actually a good deal. More

Do NOT rely on any boat operators, tour guides, local outfits - they are all prone to tell stories about the reef, North shore, South Shore, etc. Hurricane Irene stirred up the waters. There is ONE spot for snorkelling without going offshore: SMITH'S REEF (specifically, the Western edge of Smith's Reef). Forget Coral Gardens - a tiny patch flooded with... More
