You can choose from many different tours, including power snorkeling, combination snorkeling and biking, or for the bold, ultimate snorkeling. Carefully placed reef balls attract all kinds of tropical fish. See eighteenth century submerged cannons or anchors.

Horseback riding with a twist is an awesome addition to the tourist experiences offered on this island. After taking the orientation on safety you will be guided down the bluffs overlooking the beach.

Forget your responsibilities and make it a day of luxurious living; enjoy the tropical views and the full-service pampering.

History and culture buffs will want to walk and shop along Front Street, ultimately ending up at the Turks and Caicos National Museum in Guinep House. Enjoy the Bermudian architecture and homes along your way. In the museum you can learn about pre-Columbian island inhabitants, the salt industry, and the natural history of the island among other things.

Grand Turk Flowrider is just good old-fashioned fun for everyone. Watch and encourage others as they ride the wave or wipe out on this surf simulator for an entertaining time.
