Renowned the world over for its tranquil environment and relaxed pace, the Turks Caicos Islands are home to stretches of pristine beaches offering plenty of activities for visitors to enjoy. A nature lover’s paradise, the islands have been blessed with diverse fauna and flora throughout their landscapes and below the surrounding aquamarine waters. Home to the world’s third largest reef system, the islands boast snorkelling and scuba diving spots which teem with a wide variety of Caribbean marine species including fish and creatures such as turtles, dolphins, lobsters, conch and even whales.

Embark on whale watching expeditions from Grand Turk and Salt Cay and marvel at Caribbean humpback whales as they swiftly make their way toward the Silver Banks of the Dominican Republic, past Salt Cay after crossing the Turks Head passage.

Inquisitive, bubbly and vigorous, these magnificent creatures of the sea allure you with their complex and long songs during the mating season; male whales sing these songs to their better halves! Their black and white coloration on the underside, knobbly head and exceptionally long flippers make it easy for you to recognize them at close range. Declared an endangered species, these majestic mammals never fail to amaze people. The humpback whales fascinate you with their antics, such as frolicking, lobtailing, breaching and flipper slapping.

Those visiting the islands to witness whales and dolphins are expected to bear in mind the value of these noble mammals and the importance of observing them in their natural environment. There are various expert tour operators offering to guide visitors through the region’s land and water attractions.

There is no lack of popular natural and historical landmarks in the islands including museums and ancient ruins which date back to the pre-Columbus era. One of the most famous natural attractions is Flamingo Lake on North Caicos.
