Turks and Caicos By Fiona Tapp
People come to the Turks and Caicos Islands to swim in impossibly clear waters and walk along white-sand shores. But there’s so much more to do on and off the beaches than just soak up the sun.
PROVO PONIES ©TCI TOURIST BOARD
RIDE WITH PROVO PONIES Provo Ponies, located in Providenciales, or Provo, as locals call it, started out as a rescue operation for abused and malnourished horses. It now offers visitors the chance to ride ponies through the surf and on trails during a three-hour excursion. This is an incredibly popular tour so you will need to book in advance. Children aged seven and up are warmly welcomed.
VISIT IGUANA ISLAND Also known as Little Water Cay, Iguana Island is a great place to get an up-close look at rock iguanas. It’s easy to arrange a boat tour from nearby Grace Bay Beach to Little Water Cay where you can spend a few hours or even have a picnic. There isn’t anything else on the island except iguanas so bring any beach toys or snacks you may need along with you and spot these creatures as you wander along the boardwalks. Don’t forget that iguanas are endangered, and it’s forbidden to feed them. 8
