Welcome to your turks and caicos vacation!
The beautiful Turks and Caicos Islands are situated 575 miles southeast of Miami and 39 miles south east of Mayaguana in the Bahamas. Covering 193 square miles of the Atlantic ocean, Turks and Caicos Islands has one of the longest coral reefs in the world, making it a premier diving destination.
One of the most valuable possessions of the islands are the white sandy beaches, which in total cover 230 miles and are complimented with crystal clear waters. The islands are relatively flat but depending on the island, the terrain can vary from sand dunes to lush green vegetation. There are eight major islands: Salt Cay, Grand Turk, South Caicos, East Caicos, Middle Caicos, North Caicos, Providenciales and West Caicos. East Caicos and West Caicos are uninhabited.
We offer hotel and dive packages in two locations - Providenciales (also known as "Provo") and Grand Turk. Provo is more developed with many hotels, restaurants, and services. Grand Turk is much smaller and more laid-back, with only a few hotels, limited bars and restaurants, and no nightlife to speak of. Diving is a bit different - on Provo the dive boats don't depart from the hotel, so the dive operator picks you up and transports you by land to the marina for the dive boat departure - and rides to the dive sites can range from 30 minutes or so to well over an hour if you're heading to one of the other islands. On Grand Turk the boats leave right from the beach, for a 10 minute ride to most sites.
