Surf and Turf Families have plenty of ways to discover Turks and Caicos by land and by sea By Fiona Tapp
People come to the Turks and Caicos 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. Not just for honeymooners, the islands are an ideal family-friendly vacation spot. Away from those gorgeous beaches, check out these fun-filled activities and attractions to keep the whole family entertained.
PROVO PONIES ©FIONA TAPP
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 them 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 welcome.
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 enjoy a picnic. There isn’t anything else on the island except iguanas, which you’ll spot as you wander along the boardwalks, so bring any beach toys or snacks you may need. Don’t forget these creatures are endangered and it’s forbidden to feed them. 22 Ultimate Family Vacations | 2021
