10 Things Not to Do in Turks and Caicos

Get more Tips here!

Vacations are all about getting some much-needed rest and relaxation. That’s why we decided to make your trip to Turks and Caicos hassle-free by compiling this list of things NOT to do during your stay so your vacation is memorable.


1. Don’t Forget Coral-Safe Sunscreen
If you plan on participating in water excursions, many of them won’t allow you to join if you’re not equipped with coral-safe sunscreen. This special type of sunscreen will not only protect your skin from harmful UV rays, but it will protect Turks and Caicos’ coral reefs, too.


2. Don’t Drink the Tap Water
The tap water is safe to drink, but many people suggest you avoid it at all costs. The piped water in the hotels originates from reverse osmosis desalination. It usually doesn’t taste very good...


3. Don’t Be Surprised at Your Cab Fare
Before hopping into a cab, it’s always best to negotiate the rate upfront so you’re not hit with any hidden surprises. All drivers will also charge you per person.


4. Don’t Expect to Eat Lobster Off-Season
August 25th through April 1st is the time when lobsters are in season. It’s illegal for lobsters to be caught during the off-season, so you won’t even find them offered on restaurant menus.


5. Don’t Try to Walk Everywhere
The scenery is so gorgeous, you’ll definitely feel the urge to walk around the islands and explore. But with the blistering heat and many attractions spread out miles apart from each other, use a taxi cab or a bicycle .


6. Don’t Look for a Deal
This Caribbean nation is very expensive. They don’t have a natural harbor, so large ships aren’t able to import goods, and the land isn’t suitable for crops. This makes pricing outrageous, from the food in the restaurants to the groceries in the stores.


7. Don’t Forget Insect Repellent
Make sure you pack a strong insect repellant to protect you from various critters, especially mosquitos. Sea Lice and jellyfish repellant will also come in handy. If you forget to include these items in your luggage, you’ll be looking to pay 4 times what you would’ve paid at home.


8. Don’t Eat the Conch
Turks and Caicos is known for its conch – a tropical mollusk that can be eaten in a variety of ways. But sadly, the population of this delicacy has declined significantly in recent years. You can do your part in saving this species of marine life by skipping out on conch cuisine entirely.


9. Don’t Visit During December
December is the islands’ busiest time of the year. If you want to cut down on your travel costs, consider visiting in July. This is when rates drop by close to 40%, and you’ll have less tourists to deal with.


10. Don’t Forget to Go Bird Watching
You can’t visit the islands without checking out the wildlife. Turks and Caicos is full of marshes and salt ponds that are the homes to over 170 species of birds,

Grand Turk Cruise Port Guide: Tips and Overview

IMPORTANT: FOR THE FREE UMBRELLAS, CLAM SHELLS, & BEACH CHAIRS, FIND THE ONES THAT LOOK LIKE THE EXAMPLES DISPLAYED ON THE SIGN AT 0:51 IN THE VIDEO. THE UMBRELLAS HAVE THE GRAND TURK CRUISE CENTER LOGO ON THEM.

Grand Turk is a little island with a lot to offer. In addition to some of the best diving in the world, there is also the Grand Turk Cruise Center area for those who prefer spending the day shopping, swimming at a pool, or sunbathing on a white sandy beach.

The cruise terminal (which caters to Carnival Corporation cruise lines like Carnival, Princess, Holland America, and P&O) has a pier that can accommodate two ships at the same time. No tender is required. The beach, shopping, restaurants, and a pool are just steps away.

Power Snorkel in Grand Turk: All Inclusive w/ Water Toys & Lunch

If you're curious about the power snorkel excursions like we were, then wonder no more. We tried power snorkel in Grand Turk and had a blast! The water was crystal clear and calm and we saw reef and fish. After that we enjoyed probably the most beautiful beach we've been to, Bajari Beach. We had a buffet lunch some drinks and then hit the water again! What a perfect day!

Stick around for the end of the video for a beautiful time-lapse as we pull away from the dock. Grand Turk was incredible from start to finish!
