Itinerary questions
- How many days do you need in Turks & Caicos?
- Five days is the sweet spot: enough for beach time, one full boat day, the south side and a few standout dinners. Three days works for a long weekend focused on Grace Bay and one charter.
- What is a good honeymoon itinerary for Turks & Caicos?
- Base in Grace Bay, book a private sunset cruise early in the week, a full day charter mid-week, and reserve Coco Bistro, Infiniti and Rock House for dinners. Keep at least two days completely unplanned.
- Is a Turks & Caicos itinerary different with kids?
- Yes: favour Sapodilla Bay and Taylor Bay for shallow water, keep the boat day to a half day, add the Little Water Cay iguanas, and go to the Fish Fry early in the evening.
- Should I visit other islands?
- If you have a week, the North and Middle Caicos ferry day trip is worth it for Mudjin Harbour and the Conch Bar Caves. On a shorter trip, stay on Provo.
