Turks & Caicos: The Don'ts of Visiting TCI
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лип 2024
- Beach, relax, repeat, that should be your mantra when you visit Turks & Caicos. This island chain is made to just relax and enjoy life. Tourists have a lot to do during the day, but there are a few things you don't want to do in Turks & Caicos as well. So what not to do in Turks & Caicos, is just as important to know as what to do in Turks & Caicos.
Whether you are flying or taking a cruise through TCI this is tourist information that will help you have the best time possible on Turks.

Thank you for stressing the fact that Turks is NOT a party destination. Let's keep this gem a quiet and relaxing sanctuary💆🏻♀️💆♂️💆
It actually is a bit of a party place there are a few bars and clubs
Who told you it’s not a party place💀
💆🏾♀️🤴🏿👸🏾
Definitely a party place aziza and shisha ❤
You just keep it period.
As someone that lives in Turks and Caicos, your video is pretty accurate. However, we do not add tax on groceries. Most local restaurants that are not in the “tourist areas” also do not add tax. Also, you can party at some local bars but I would suggest going to bars in the Grace Bay Area eg. Shisha Lounge, Blu Bar, Danny Bouys and the Ritz Carlton just to name a few. I also would say visit Grand Turk either on a cruise or book a flight for the day and enjoy that island. You will get a more local experience in Grand Turk as opposed to Provo but both are amazing to see.
Would you recommend visiting Turks in October?
Great tips! Thank you. We are coming for 10 days…second time, next week. ( End of July.) Barbados used to be my favorite island in the Caribbean but… after discovering T&C during Covid, we have a new number one. Can hardly wait. Shoutout to Grace Bay
Club and Coco Bistro. 🥰See you all soon:)
no businesses in T&C add tax on the bills. that is the entire marketing campaign of the islands - that there is "no tax". but that is misleading. the taxes are simply applied ahead of time - everything that is imported into the islands is charged a 30% import tax.
YOU LIVE AT BEACHES TURKS AND CAICOS?? You’re so lucky! I’m only staying here for 6 days 💀
Your government abducting Americans for ammo has me PISSED. You are lucky our military is disciplined. Once people learn what's really happening people are going to stop going there. Red coat trash laws
Don't "accidentally" bring stray ammunition in your luggage
accidentally in quotes because you think the guy was an arms dealer? It was a shakedown on one of our fellow citizens for a $9,000 payment. Let’s make sure we cost them 100 times that in lost tourism. Tourism is all that place has.
This isn’t Second Amendment-ville. Like the majority of countries in the world, TCI takes their gun control and regulations seriously.
Throwing your weight around as a hapless American will get you nowhere, except maybe prison if you are too obtuse to check your luggage for ammunition before traveling.
Always appreciate your valuable information. I’ve traveled to many countries with your advice!
Excellent video. Love the enthusiasm! Making our 4th trip in September and could not agree more with all of your comments.
Great video with outstanding information. We were there at the end of October for 9 days, stayed at Seven Seas. An incredible experience.
*Great advice and spot-on as always!*
Wow it’s paradise 😍 I love how informative and fun your videos are and that you always say/ show that you are able to travel with kids!
Thank you
One of the things I appreciate about your videos is that you always encourage us viewers to interact with the local people and cultures. I feel like with all the hustle and bustle, we often forget that this is one of the most important aspects of travel. Thx for the reminders. 👍
That is very nice of you. For me it's one of the best parts of travel
@@woltersworld I am from Turks and Caicos bad part is that we as locals don't get exposure. If your able to check out my music, my latest song is called Left me on Read. I think you might like it.
@@LegendaryfromTCI that's a good jam! Do you have any gigs planned for June in TCI?
I’m to nervous to go there anymore. Because look how they treat rich Americans. No way.
Visiting next month ! I really appreciate this information 👍🏽
This is an excellent video ... packed with info and tips. Great job. Going to check out your other videos.
Been there. Yes! Beautiful Island. Expensive. It’s all about the beach. Ultimate relaxation island. Great job with this video. I will check out your other videos.
I love this channel so much
Loved T&C and you're right, it is a relax and beach island. I had a great Airbnb host that drove me around the city.
Great video. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day.
Thank you for the review. So helpful!!
Really gained a lot from this video - thank you for putting it together!! Shared it with my son and future daughter in law who are going for their honeymoon. Loved it!!
Thank you. I'm glad I could help
Best thing that happened today, ..finding your channel 🥰🥰🥰🥰 One more place for my husband and I to add to our bucket list 🥰🥰🥰😂🤣🤣😅😅😅
Beach, relax, repeat is what I want! I'm cruising in and Grand Turk is the last stop. After, going hard on my cruise. All I want is beach,relax, repeat. I'm glad I found your channel. I will be watching.
Love all your videos. Heading there in 2 weeks.
I'm planning a trip to Turks and Caicos soon. This is very informative and fun to watch. Thank you!😊
If it was filmed before the pandemic can you imagine the cost now. Insane🙀
Wow I’m early, love your videos mark! Looking to go to LA soon and you have helped heaps
Wonderful place! Glad you have experienced it. Grace Bay is beautiful and it's pretty cool to have that big IGA grocery store nearby. If you're not looking to eat out all the time It sure is nice to be able to buy your own groceries at a big grocery. Super laid back, quiet place with great snorkeling... just ask a local business if you need help. Friendly folks. Sand in the swimming suit... oh well. Have a drink! Cheers!
Good information, very thorough .... thank you
Dope overview. Thank you
Nice and concise. No padding out or waffle. Great info. 👍🏻
Great information! Thanks.
Hope to see you soon in The Bahamas!! The conch is excellent here as well!! 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
Thank God 4 this video.
Beach , Relax and Repeat😎😎 Beach, Relax and Repeat. We love it Mark😍😍 Jim and Harriet
Very informative video! Thinking about going there for vacation!
Thanks! Don't worry, be happy!
Thank you. Relaxing in Cocoa Beach Florida. Watching Jim Gaffigan.
Thank you for visiting !
Sounds like just the place I want to go. Can't wait till August to go!
Dear Mr. Wolter, Thank You for video awesome
I need that kind of vacation!!
I vacationed in Provo and I have to say it was one of the best places I’ve been to. I’ve been to a lot of places and Provo and Bermuda are my top spots. Also, great video and I think you were spot on with your analysis.
mine too! You would enjoy Anguilla as well
Just got back. This is all exactly right. Well done.
Thank you! Glad you had a good trip!
very informative ty!
SO TRUE about the speed bumps drive safe everyone!
This was such a thorough & fun video, your energy is just amazing!! I’ll be in Provo next week and I’m so excited to just beach, relax, repeat!
Do you have any tips or a video on travel insurance specifically for Turks & Caicos? The travel authorization process is stressing me out a bit. Thankss for an amazing video!
Great video!
There’s nothing more beautiful than the islands the sights the food the water and culture.
I have traveled the world and all over the carribean and the water in Turks and Caicos is the clearest I have ever seen.
Great video thanks
Shisha Lounge in Providenciales is where to go for a party if that’s what you’re looking for.
There’s also a floating bar in the middle of the ocean. TCI is what you make of it! Though I agree it’s a relaxing place to be, you can def party hard if you ask the locals.
Also, I’d like to stress the importance of reef safe sunscreen!
My wife and I have been vacationing in Turks since 1997 and absolutely love it. We have been to many countries over the years but Turks is our favorite. Thanks for the great video
What all inclusive resort do you recommend? 5 day anniversary $2k hotel budget
What month do you go?
Very informative Thanks
Home sweet home!Not a party destination but there’s a lot of places to have fun.
Don’t forget to drink plenty of water along. Especially while on the beach and if you are drinking alcohol. Thanks for the video.
your videos are awesome thank you for sharing
Just came home from there. Best beach I have ever been to. Grace Bay is the BOMB! Stayed at the Club Med. Can't say enough about it. And it was sooooo quiet and relaxing. We will return.
When I went to TCI a year ago, Club Med was the party resort. You could hear their music from down the beach.
Hi friends, are you going to be doing anymore of Do's or hybrid Do's and don't's videos? I liked how you used to give like five of each (don't waste your time with this, don't get caught off guard with that; you HAVE to go here or do that) which made me feel like I had a better opportunity to plan my trips. Thanks for all your videos, one of the highlights of my week
We still do the 5 love and hates occasionally. The "Don'ts" videos cover the do's and don'ts pretty well though.
Thank you!!! Headed there 12/24
Love my home, well said, we do things differently in TCI🌺🌿🧸
Awesome video
Thank for explaining my island I would say you got mustly everything right it is a very small and relaxing place it the same with work everyday its the same work n home
Okay 😂Wolter ; where in da World haven’t you been ?? I watched your Portugal vlog before my trip to Lisbon last year & Loved it 😍😍!!! Keep Up the videos; we love it !!!
My sister is taking a cruise here soon, I'm so jealous of how pretty it looks!
Your sister wont be cruising to Providenciales ,,, no cruise ships there, only stop at Grand Turk Island , so dont be too jealous
Many ppl take taxis from the airport, to their accommodations on the Island. I’d suggest asking them for a business card and have a chat w them about what to see and do. They will give you a quote on fares and maybe give you a deal. I was there in October 2021 and booked another trip, as soon as I got home (Toronto). Cant wait for another amazing 2 weeks at Club Med!!!
Good information
New friend here watching from Qatar sending my full support sir,good for sharing this video stay connected and be friends
Looks an amazing place. The colour of the sea is beautiful 😊☀️🙂
You go everywhere. Awesome
That place looks like absolute heaven.
If I may, I'd like to add a don't that will hold pretty much anywhere. Unless a person is an experienced and regular rider of horses, don't wear shorts as you will get chafed in places you don't want...especially if you want to wade into the salt water. At least wear long pants if not jeans. Also, don't go for more than 30-40 minutes. You're legs will hate you for the next day or so, especially as you get older, as you're lower half is simply not accustomed to sitting like that.
Once again, excellent video and thank you.
I’m kind of surprised that, unless I missed it somehow, it wasn’t mentioned that there is NO SMOKING on the beaches BY LAW. I absolutely love this, because I’m there for the smell of salt water… not someone’s Marlboros. If you’re at a resort and someone lights up on the chairs next to you, let an attendant know. This is illegal. If you can’t enjoy a day at the beach without smoking, there are plenty of other beautiful places to go.
Ah perfect, the government causes people to get addicted to cigarettes because of propaganda but now they are punished for it. Kind of a joke tbh.
Not true. I was on that beach, had coffie and many cigarettes 🏖️😂
That’s Awesome 😂😂; just imagine how healthy these local islanders are ; since Smoking is scorned upon !!! Not to mention all the organic & natural foods on the island 💯💯💯!!!
We went here three years ago to the beaches resort and i must say this was the best holiday we’ve ever had, pure paradise, a lot of people thought we were mad flying all this way from the UK for just a week, it was worth every penny and every hour getting there, fantastic people and staff, super friendly, and Grace Bay was just stunning, looks like we,ll be saving again soon for another visit one day, next time though definitely two weeks👍👍👍😎🇬🇧
An easier and cheaper holiday would be nearby channel islands like Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney & Herm. Also just going to different areas of The UK or Ireland, obviously travelling is harder for UK nationals now since brexit.
@@Anonymoose66G what’s travelling to the Caribbean got to do with brexit , it’s not even in Europe ! Also just to put your ignorance right . Traveling within the EU for the brits had hardly changed .
@@anthonyhull1274 Who's travelling to the Caribbean? The channel islands and location in-between The Uk & France, they are in Europe... They are crown dependencies & sovereign territories.
@@Anonymoose66G “ obviously travelling is harder for U.K. nationals now since brexit “ is what you put … obviously it is not ! Stop talking rubbish !
@@anthonyhull1274 It absolutely does, you need to spend more, wait longer & you need more documents.
You'll be charged on roaming mobile data, you no longer have access to European Health Insurance, Brits will require a VISA waiver which you have to pay for, you no longer have freedom of capital & movement between EU member states so if you wanted to move it'd be much harder, you need an Animal Health Certificate to bring any pets with you & you can only stay 90 days within EU territory every 180 days & you can no longer be fast tracked through customs & finally you might need to pay for a new passport since your now required to have one with you whilst travelling through Europe.
Looks beautiful
The Turks & Caicos islands are the ultimate dive destination for snorkelers and scuba enthusiasts looking for clear ocean and thriving marine life. Expect to see anything from colorful coral of varying types, to tropical fish, turtles, dolphins, and more.
Beach, relax, repeat - sounds good to me!
Thanks a lot
I know that i had Been there 8 months ago brow amaizing place sure
🎉I’m going to Turks and Caicos in 3 days
Great brother
Greta video and thank you for sharing this! Is it fish for all meals or do they have a vegetarian menu ?
Don’t forget to drink the local Turks Head beer and Osprey vodka rather than US imports. Much less expensive and truly delightful. Visit the brewery too. It’s also a great place to get your drinking water. Plus it’s owned by a Canadian!!! 🇨🇦
Video at 15:03 is magical!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Ah yes! Turks & Caicos. I was there about 30 years ago when everything was clean and pristine. Back then the normal people could afford to go to Provo. Not anymore! The island has become home for the well off vacationer. It's too bad I would love to go back but I can't afford it.
Note: As a waitress in Turks and Caicos. Tax is only added to Restaurants. Other things like merchandise etc are final price😀 other than that great video❤️
Sounds like the laws are just looking for a reason to arrest Americans if you ask me?
Looks great!
I want this to be my next international vacay!
Me too!
I visited Turks and Caicos in January 2020. There was a small marathon, just 21 of us and I came in 2nd place. I remember liking Grace Bay so much that I was actually disinterested in the marathon. But that said 13 miles was in the dark with potholes and the other 13 miles was in blazing sun. We ended up running on the left being British and running on sidewalks for safety.
Besides the road race I swam in the beach and in the lazy River at The Sands Resort. I had a private room facing the ocean. It was nice having 85°F weather in January. I want to go back, despite the cost. $$$$
Nice!
Looks Beautiful…great info…is the weather awesome all year round?
Generally, yes but* TCI is susceptible to hurricanes so be aware of hurricane season. July to November.
I went to Grand Turk and it was great
No public transportation, hight prices on taxi, no alcohol serving night clubs is perfect to keep low class disturbing people away! Love it!
Hi, do you recommend getting the fast track pass to get through customs on a Friday afternoon? We are arriving on March 25th with a 2 year old! Thanks!
❤ Turks is my FAVORITE ❤
Great tips! What hotel/venue were you at?
Can we dine at the resort restaurants in Grace Bay, if we're not a guest at the hotel? Planning on staying at an airbnb nearby, but the hotel restaurants look amazing!
Check out the dolphin house on airbnb if you are looking to stay in turks. Nice spot
When do I fill out tci assured and covid test please.
I will travel on 08.06.2022 and arrive on 09.06.2022.
Which date exactly I will take covid test 06 or 07.
And tci on 08 or 07th.
Please advise by dates so I can understand and do exactly.
How is it with Covid testing to get back to us? Do they test at airport or only paid locations? Thanks
Nice
