Yes we really have a mermaid! Well almost. Meet Josie, or should we say
Bella the mermaid? She's a free diver, meaning she can hold her breath
for, well, a VERY long time. So long in fact that she joined forces with the
Undersea Explorer to give a new twist to their "semi-submarine" tour.
This is a really fun way to experience and learn about our ocean life.
Your kids (and the kid in you) will love it!
No, that's not a typo! It's a cross between snorkeling and scuba diving.
You stay underwater for as long as a scuba diver, but without the hassle
of the tank. It's simple. You breathe through a regulator which is attached
on a line to your air tank in the boat above. And rest assured, Snuba is a
licensed product and program, safe for ages 8 upwards. You're in good
hands! Have a look at Snuba Turks & Caicos for more information.
Come visit them on Iguana Island, located less than 500 meters
from Provo. Once common across all our islands, they are now on
the endangered list, but thriving on Iguana Island thanks to a strong
conservation effort. Access is via tour boat or, if you feel strong, you can
kayak across. Once there, follow the boardwalks. It's a fun and short
trip, perfect for the kids. And the blue water is a stunning sight!
Once a trading schooner, ferrying commodities between Hispaniola (the
combination of the Dominican Republic and Haiti) and the Turks and
Caicos. Atabeyra is now retired from commercial service, operating as a
charter boat, whisking you around the Caicos Cays. They offer a half day
snorkel and sail, a happy hour sunset cruise and the NOT to be missed
glow worm sunset. Also available for private charters and weddings!
Barely a couple of years old but fast becoming legendary! Every Thursday
evening at the Children's Park locals and tourists come together for an
evening of celebration. Local stalls with all manner of mouth watering
food, cooked on the spot. Fresh fish, jerk chicken, conch salad, and
more. But it's not just food. There are local bands playing, dancers,
handcrafted items, even some rum! And look out for Henry the Conch...
