Experience the adventurous side of Turks and Caicos

14 August 2026

This corner of the Caribbean has all the ingredients for an easy Caribbean escape, from the powder-soft sands of Grace Bay to brilliantly clear water made for long afternoons by the sea. But spend a little more time here, and there’s another side to the islands worth exploring. You can kayak through mangroves, snorkel over coral reefs, venture across to North and Middle Caicos, and seek out local food and music back on Providenciales. Better still, these experiences can easily sit alongside slower beach days, giving you a holiday that feels adventurous without needing to be action-packed from morning to night.

Experience the adventurous side of Turks and Caicos

Go island-hopping to North and Middle Caicos

Providenciales may be the best-known base in Turks and Caicos, but taking the ferry across to North and Middle Caicos opens up a very different side of the destination. A guided trip can take you between limestone caves, quiet beaches, coastal viewpoints, and nature sites, with far fewer of the resort surroundings associated with Grace Bay. And you don’t have to limit your visit to a day trip. Spend a little longer exploring the two islands and book a few nights at Ocean Breeze Hotel, giving you more time to enjoy the quieter beaches, scenery, and slower pace before returning to Providenciales. It’s a great way to see more of Turks and Caicos and turn a Caribbean beach holiday into something much more varied.

Take to the water, from mangroves to coral reefs

Some of the best adventures here happen on the water. Guided kayaking and paddleboarding trips head into the mangroves around Providenciales for a quieter eco-experience, while snorkelling excursions venture out to nearby coral reefs. If you want to take things further, you could add a sunset catamaran cruise or even horse riding along the shoreline. And because none of it needs to fill an entire day, there’s still plenty of time to head back to Grace Bay afterwards for a swim, a leisurely lunch, or a few hours doing very little at all.

Spend an evening like a local

Exploring Turks and Caicos isn’t limited to beaches and boat trips. A guided tour of Providenciales can introduce you to more of the island and its local flavours, while some of the most enjoyable experiences happen after sunset. Thursday’s Fish Fry brings together food, music, and local crafts, and Wednesday evenings at the Conch Shack offer beachfront dining, live music, and, naturally, plenty of conch. Add an afternoon browsing Saltmills Plaza, and there are plenty of ways to break up those beach days without travelling far.

Make your Turks and Caicos escape as adventurous as you like

The beauty of seeing this side of Turks and Caicos is that you can choose exactly how far you want to take it. Spend one day snorkelling and the next at the spa, swap the sunlounger for an ATV or off-road adventure, book a private beach dining experience, or simply leave a few days completely free. Getting there is easy too, with two direct flights a week from London Heathrow, departing on Thursdays and Sundays, as well as options to travel via Miami or New York. South Caicos also has its own airport, opening up another way to explore the islands with connections via Miami. With different islands, activities, and accommodation options to bring together, your Travel Counsellor can create a Turks and Caicos holiday that goes well beyond the usual beach escape.

5 Whistler ski experiences you may not have considered

28 September 2026

Whistler is well known for its scale, snow, and lively village, but there is more to a ski holiday here than simply working your way around Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. For UK visitors, it also works well as part of a wider Canada trip; you can spend a few nights in Vancouver before or after the mountains, try something different on the slopes, and make the most of local knowledge once you arrive. Here are five Whistler ski experiences worth knowing about when planning your visit.

Snow, onsens, and ramen: Discover skiing, Japan style

25 September 2026

Japan puts a very different spin on a ski holiday. Days on the mountain might be followed by a soak in a steaming onsen, dinner in a tiny ramen restaurant, or an evening wandering through a traditional snow-covered town. And there’s plenty of choice when it comes to where you ski. From Hokkaido’s famous powder to the hot spring villages of Nagano, the easy Tokyo connections of Niigata, and the winter landscapes of Tohoku, each region offers its own reason to head to the mountains.
