Visiting Turks and Caicos

Categories

If the thought of turquoise-blue ocean water, soft white sand, and warm, sunny days excite you, then the Turks and Caicos Islands are a perfect cruise destination for you. Located south of the Bahamas in the Caribbean, this is an impressive piece of paradise. Take note of the following reasons why you don't want to miss out on the Turks and Caicos Islands as cruise destinations:

 

Snorkeling/Scuba Diving 

Boasting the third-largest coral reef in the world, these islands may have the best snorkeling and diving in the Caribbean. Turks and Caicos Islands rest on an underwater plateau that rises approximately 10,000 feet from the surrounding sea floor. This split between shallow and deep water is spectacular. Add to that the abundance of sea life, and you can see why this is the place for snorkeling and scuba diving. 

Water Sports

There's no shortage of activities to do on the water: paddle boarding, windsurfing, fishing, kiteboarding, jet skiing, surfing, and tubing. If you love the water, then the Turks and Caicos Islands will be your playground. 

Weather

Regardless of the time of year you visit, the weather is ideal, with a year round temperature of 80–90° F. To top it off, nearly every day of the year is sunny. 

It's Hip

Although the Turks and Caicos Islands aren’t yet overrun with tourists, they are becoming a trendy destination. Many celebrities vacation there, including Britney Spears, Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, and Hugh Jackman. 

Language

English is the main language spoken on the islands, so you won't have to worry about not being able to communicate. 

US Dollar

The currency on Turks and Caicos is USD, which makes this cruise destination especially convenient. You will not have the hassle of exchanging money or trying to calculate between your currency and another currency.
