Experience the natural history and cultural heritage of Grand Turk in our “safari themed 4x4 F250’s”. Learn about Grand Turk’s rich history and culture, as it was reputed to be the place where Christopher Columbus made his first landfall in the West Indies. Drive to Governor’s Beach where you can glimpse Grand Turk’s 9 hole golf course which is actually situated on the Governor’s residential grounds. View the crystal clear waters and the Freighters Dock which is the only cargo port on the Island, before being driven to the nation’s capital city Cockburn Town, the Administrative and Political Capital of the Turks & Caicos Islands. While you travel through the town along its historical Pond Street enjoy the views of the ruins of the old Salina’s depicting how salt was derived through natural process of “solarisation” and observe the Windmills that were used to funnel natural sea water from one Salina to another.

Your tour will come to a stop near the town centre where your guide will escort you on a 15 minute leisurely walk down the quaint “Front Street” lined with turn of the century Bermudian style architecture.

After this informative tour you will travel off the beaten path, where tour buses dare not venture to North Wells, where if lucky, you might just catch a glimpse of the famous endangered “Pink Flamingos” that may occasionally be seen foraging through the silted bottom of the Salina ponds on the Island in search of brine shrimp and other crustaceans indigenous to the natural wild life, not to mention passing the occasional indigenous wild horse who roams free on the island.

Enter North Wells by way of a narrow sand track where many a tour bus dare not venture on your way around the island, pass the North Creek, the last remaining safe hurricane shelter for yachts traveling between Nassau and Puerto Rico and where many locals moor their boats year round.

After traveling through North Creek you will pass the St. Thomas Anglican Church, the first church built on Grand Turk by Bermudian settlers, on your way to the South-eastern side of the island. Enjoy the view of Gibb’s Cay and the many little uninhabited islands that are visible in the Atlantic Ocean before being taken back to the ship.
