Chances are you’re coming here for our luxury accommodations and peaceful stretch of Grace Bay Beach—it’s the perfect place to unwind and experience true relaxation in an island setting, after all. But if you’re also looking for adventure, you’ve come to the right place. Beyond the confines of our exquisite property, there’s much to discover. Here are some of our favorite excursions that we recommend to our guests during their stay in Turks and Caicos.

Boat Tours

Set sail on a luxurious boat tour and discover the breathtaking beauty of Turks and Caicos from the water. Choose from a variety of excursions, including sunset cruises, island-hopping adventures, and private charters tailored to your preferences. The best way to explore our stunning coastline, secluded cays, and hidden beaches is certainly by boat—all while enjoying refreshments and personalized service on board.

Fishing

If you love to fish or are eager to give it a try, Turks and Caicos is the ideal place to cast your line. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a novice, there’s something for everyone here. Join a deep-sea fishing charter and try your luck at catching marlin, tuna, and mahi-mahi, depending on the season. You can also opt for a bonefishing excursion in the shallow flats, known for their abundance of bonefish.

Snorkeling

Beneath the surface of our crystal-clear waters is a vibrant underwater world teeming with colorful coral reefs and a variety of marine life that call them home. Join a guided snorkeling trip for a chance to swim alongside tropical fish, sea turtles, rays and more. With professional instruction and top-quality gear provided, snorkeling in Turks and Caicos is an experience not to be missed.

Scuba Diving

Explore the ocean depths with a scuba diving excursion led by experienced dive instructors. Our islands boast some of the most spectacular diving in the world, thanks to having one of the longest contiguous coral reefs in the world. You can dive the reef just a short boat ride from Grace Bay, or head out on a full-day excursion to West Caicos or French Cay. Whether you're a certified diver or looking to get certified, our resort can arrange personalized dive trips tailored to your skill level and interests.

Kayaking Adventures

Paddle through mangrove channels, turquoise lagoons, and secluded bays on a kayaking adventure in Turks and Caicos. Guided kayak tours offer a unique perspective of the island's coastal ecosystems, allowing you to spot wildlife such as birds, turtles and more along the way. The only thing that could make a kayaking excursion in Turks and Caicos even better? A clear bottom kayak—and fortunately, our preferred vendors offer them, allowing you to see even more of the underwater world below your kayak. Choose from guided eco-tours or rent kayaks for a self-guided exploration of the island's waterways.

Parasailing

Soar high above the sparkling waters of Grace Bay Beach and savor panoramic views of our famous waters below on a thrilling parasailing excursion.
