It’s like the “Grand Canyon of the Caribbean.” Don your snorkel gear and explore the underwater wonders teeming with colorful fish and vibrant coral.

2. Shipwrecks and Maritime History

History buffs will appreciate the chance to explore the Molasses Reef Wreck, the oldest excavated European shipwreck dating back to 1515. This fascinating relic lies on display at the Turks and Caicos National Museum in Cockburn Town. Guinep House, one of the island’s oldest buildings, houses this treasure trove of maritime heritage.

3. Meet the Friendly Stingrays

A short boat ride takes you to Gibbs Cay, also known as Stingray City. Here, you’ll encounter gentle stingrays eager to make your acquaintance. Snorkel alongside these magnificent creatures and learn about their fascinating lives. It’s an unforgettable experience that connects you with the natural beauty of Grand Turk.

4. Island Exploration and Local Color

Despite its small size (just seven square miles), Grand Turk offers plenty to explore. Take a scenic coastal path that leads to the 19th-century Grand Turk Lighthouse, perched atop a rocky bluff. Along the way, you’ll encounter wild horses and donkeys, adding to the island’s free-range charm.
