Turks and Caicos is one of the most popular destinations in the Caribbean with its pristine beaches and enchanting culture. There is no other island that will ring true to that impression other than Providenciales. It will not be hailed 2011’s best beach destination in the globe by TripAdvisor for nothing.

It is therefore advisable that you make booking arrangements ahead, including your airport-hotel-airport transfers. Shuttles, public bus service, and car rentals are available to get you around. To save on costs, you may also choose the cheapest alternative to go around, which is walking. At certain points, attractions, shops, and restaurants are just within comfortable walking distance.

You can go diving or snorkeling to experience underwater, which is teeming with life. You may also go sightseeing for Humpback whales via a boat trip or just roam around the lush greeneries to experience the rugged hills and ridges.
