Correction: Cockburn Town on Grand Turk is the capital. Providenciales is the largest city. My apologies.
🚕 are not that expensive its only like 2$ per person
We all know that bro
Love Turks and Caicos! A few additional tips:
1. Beer is super expensive. A case of Corona might cost $70 at the store. The local beer, Turks Head, is terrific and available everywhere. Plenty of options, including an IPA, and the price is right. A fun event is to go visit theTurks Head brewery in Providenciales. Love seeing the canning line
2. Liquor is also expensive, other than the local rum. Make sure to hit the duty free store at the airport on the way down.
3. If you want to go on a snorkeling tour, book thru the hotel concierge and not the guys on the beach.
4. There is no nightlife. Which I love about the Islands. Instead, sit on the beach with the one you love and watch the most gorgeous sunsets you will see in your entire life.
Shit $70 where did you go? I pay $20 for a case of beer. That's maybe the tourist price 😂😂
@@sandreagardiner6046 Did anyone offer you any mary jane ?
@@thomashealey291 If weed is readily available I'm going to start planning my trip now.. I Don't want to go to bars and clubs I just want to smoke n drink a little bit, and lay on the beach And get sand everywhere on me, with beach smell.. ahhh, been too long
Everyone speaking of no night life were simply not interested. On my first trip there and we bumped into so much night life by recommendations from tour guides. Shisha lounge, 809 terrace, blu bar and so many more but we only went to these 3. On the same corner of 809 there were multiple places with so much music. 809 and shisha were such a good time. Felt like I was back home in NYC but it was nice open air places. We left at 1AM but the places probably close at 2 or 3. Which is more then enough considering how early we all get up in TCI the beaches can be exhausting no need to be out until 6am. Is it a party island, no. But it is a place where lively, local CARIBBEAN ppl live. Silly to think their wouldn’t be somewhere to drink, dance and smoke hookah when the sun goes down.
How about the ganja
Great video! A couple other things to mention, the Beaches resort there on Grace bay has a really awesome water park with big waterslides etc for the kids that you can get a day-pass for if you’re not staying at the resort. Also the Fish Fry on Thursday nights is an epic party that the entire island comes out for.. not to be missed
hello! We are going there this Monday, is the fish fry going to happen on Thursday?!
By far the most beautiful place and beaches we have been to. We really enjoyed T&C so much. We stayed at Grace Bay.
You forgot to mention the weekly food truck festival near Turtle Cove every Thursday. Great food, prices, and music.
Good call! Thanks for the reminder!
Fish Fry !! - hopefully it comes back very soon.
whete is there great buffets
I lived in Turks for 12 years working front desk/concierge and I can agree with this video. I would discourage drinking the water however, its great to prepare meals however please drink bottled water.
Starting 2022 you can rent an Arcimoto to drive around. It's a fun, 3 wheeled, 2 seat electric vehicle. Way better than a taxi!!
This was such an informative video! Thank you!!
I was just there last month and loved my time there! Such a beautiful place 😍
The Caymans are just as beautiful. The laws are not cruel, crime less.
Awesome video! You maybe should have also mentioned that people should bring reef safe sunscreen
Heading there next week for the first time. I have a day or so of dental CE, then it will be family time. My wife and I love relaxing and chill on the beach. Having said that my 18 and 12 yo daughters will be with us. Thanks for the heads up so we know what to expect.
I went to Turks over winter break this year and it was really fun! I definitely recommend going there
I’m supposed to go next Wednesday and I am so excited! Thanks for the video, will definitely use your tips!
Oh wow!! Me too!
@@panchris00 please advise of covid protocols and if they required travel insurance. Safe travels Sis!
Hey! I'm actually going on the 11th. What protocols do I need to be aware of?
Safe travels to you as well. What day are you leaving?
Hey it’s Wednesday!! Are you there yet? Omg I have questions regarding your covid test before leaving. We can’t get a hold of anyone. Did you take a rapid test or a PCR test? I’m leaving Sunday to come but pcr might take too long to get results back!! Please help!!!
My goodness, this place looks beautiful!!!
At first, I think turks belong to turkey, but now i know there is a beautiful place called Turks & Caicos . Thanks for sharing this 😍
Beautiful ❤
We rented a house out on Long Bay Rd.... it was amazing. Very convenient to get anywhere we needed. The supermarkets are rather expensive as noted, but it was nice to cook and eat on our deck overlooking the ocean. I didn't find the restaurants to be that expensive honestly. When it comes to Turks Head beer, buy it at the brewery!! It's cheaper there, and you can take a fun little tour. Thanks for the video, we loved it there and hope to go back soon.
Looking to go in January and are thinking of a house rental on the beach, can you point me in the right direction? Thanks.
Great info and quite accurate! Thanks
One thing I would strongly recommend is taking the early fairy to north, and renting a car for the day. North and Middle are really fun to just explore.
I've always wanted to visit Turks and Caicos.
Greetings from Montreal! We just booked Club Med Turkoise for mid April and we are really looking forward to it. You really did a great job of packing in the information. Will be watching your other T&C videos. Thanks!
how was the all inclusive resort?
@@RyanPs3gamer123 We had a very nice time. There are a number of resorts on the beach, but the Club Med feels like a little village with the best spot of beach on the strip. We were happy with the food and service. The evening entertainment was very lively. Its close enough to nearby shopping to walk the beach and get to some nice stores and restaurants. We went scuba diving with the resort dive crew, it was very nice. Well recommended.
Nice video you forgot to mention turks and caicos is still a British overseas territory not just a former territory 🇬🇧🇸🇭🇬🇧🇸🇭
What an awesome video for sure. I have been all over the carribian , PR, Dom, etc but I have never visited the Turks. I love crystal clear turquoise water. Thanks for sharing this beautiful place. After viewing this video Colleen and I actually just put this on our "must-do" list. Thanks for sharing my friend. :).
SOOOO AWESOMEEEE!!! 💖👏🏻💖👏🏻💖~ heading there in March!!! This video was SO HELPFUL!!! ~~~ 🤩
im going back in October for Halloween I was never a beach person until I went on those beaches out there one thing I love the most is the water and I love playing volleyball on the beach getting covered in the sand then going in the water and rinsing it off..I forgot about those really clear fish when you go in the ocean they tend swim along the shore line but if you stay really still they will nibble on your fingers first time I went there I wasn't aware they were there I felt something nibble on my fingers I looked close and I saw them, when its really sunny out you can barely see them..
We are here now. Been here for two weeks. Going home tomorrow, so sad we have to leave. If you're into scuba diving, Dive Provo is awesome.
Did you take a rapid test?? Or did you take PCR??
Vacation mood: on.....thanks for traveling us with your video!!!!!
Take care guys.....
Where has this channel been all my life???!!!
Very informative video! I'm going to TCI for the first time next month!!!
Great vlog, I just thought to point out we shouldn’t take shells especially the large conk shells! There are many reasons why we shouldn’t. So please people don’t do this. You don’t need it, you already have a home! Thank you 🙏🏻
You can’t get them through customs anyways
Actually Providenciales isn’t the capital. Grand Turk is.
I worked in a jewellery store in the club med between 2008-2010
Thank you very much for your kind information about island 🏝
Thanks so much for the info in all these videos!!! Going next week and you’ve helped a lot!!
That's fun! Have a great trip!
Thanks very much!we are thinking about going here for our honeymoon after all the wild fires in Maui.
Just booked my vacation for early September! Thanks for the tips!
Are you there now? Im saving up to take my girlfriend next year, didn’t even know this was a place. We were texting two days ago and she said she would want to go here someday. Well anyways, hope youre having a great time, take care.
@@holdenmcgroin1732 save your money
@@bash4214 yeah, im saving to go right now bro 😂
@@holdenmcgroin1732 im saying dont go check on their covid policy
@@bash4214 hopefully all the shit wont be a thing by the time i go next year man. got a little over 10 months before i go. thanks for the heads up though, i saw your comment and im sorry that happened to you guys.
Thanks Wolter this is very helpful!!! Going to TCI in a few weeks! Girls Trip!! We rented an Airbnb. Going to utilize the house and the beach!!
I'm going on a girl's trip there next month! How was your trip?
Good video. Great info and advice. Thanks for sharing. I do want to vacation here.
best traveling show on youtube
North side = Grace bay & lots of $$$ hotels. South side = infinite shallow lagoon, good wind and kitesurfing, no crowds!! The rest of the island, not much to see.
Awesome informative vid!
Thank you!
@@woltersworld you're welcome 👍🏼
Ahhh, thanks for taking me back. I was there 2 weeks ago 😍😍😍
Stayed at Seven Stars Resort, I absolutely loved it
Nice. I knew you were just there from your videos. Hope you had a relaxing time
Sever Stars is the best resort in my opinion. I can only afford it on the off season! But a magical place.
@@paulfreet no fucking shit einstein
Do you a car to move around the island?
I agree about Seven Stars...in fact headed back later this year. Can't wait!!!
you're the best! thank youuu
Thanks WW.. ❤️
Great video thanks
Pack some pool noodle floats and snorkel gear. Noodles are cheap and you can leave them if you don’t want to pack them up. I noticed a lot of the resorts don’t have any floats to take in the water like some other beach places I’ve been. You can snorkel off the beach on your own in some places
Thanks for sharing! It looks amazing.
Love your videos!! Very detailed Thanks
Great video!!
Thank you Walter for another great video!
Excellent video. Very informative. I go to resorts but when there, I like doing tours to see historical places and take in the culture. I may go to the beach once or twice. So I could only go here for a day or two just to see what the place looks like. It is probably nice for people who are into water sports and diving.
Going next Monday I cannot wait!!!!!!
What travel company you use
Hi what about the food is there grilled fish or is it mostly fried ? what about turkoise club med how is the buffet let me know thank you .
covered it really well!!!!
Great video and information thank you
Looks gorgeous. Never been to the carribean but definitely want to go!
Hey Mark, any videos coming out for recent international travel? I'm thinking about going to Rome here in October and have been looking for content on what to expect! Thanks keep up the great work
Check our Kara and Nate they were just there
@@L2theWcarscoffeelife I saw that video after this one, thanks for the heads up
thanks buddy for ur information vidoe shout out from sweden
Great video! Ty for the information.
You rock my man!
Apart from the beautiful beaches I found the island very ordinary
I felt like there wasn’t any culture but that’s fine with me. I’m there for the beach
@@ELIRAXPRT that's exactly it! Just didn't get what all the fuss was about as there wasn't even any shopping and I'm not the type to sit in a resort 24/7 but hey tons of water and other sports activities! Also didn't like the fact that no fruits grow there felt so artificial. 🤷
Hi how is turks and caucos club med and tell me me about the buffets breakfast lunch and dinner thank you and when is the best time to go there thank you !
Best swimming ever
Beautiful islands! Thanks for this. 🌴🌴
Our pleasure!
Home sweet Home!
Really blows your mind in the US Virgin Islands drive on the left with standard US cars. Only place in the US that does that I always found it fun.
Usvi does the same thing
Looks beautiful and relaxing. I'm not a swimmer, but I'm sure I'd find something great to do. My husband would be in scuba heaven.
it really is a total chill out place
Thank you Wolters
Helpful, thank you.
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Looking for a great place to go next year for our 70th birthday. Any recommendations ?
Right here in the Beautiful Turks and Caicos Islands 🇹🇨🏖🌴
Thank you. Any great resorts you recommend ?
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!
Excellent info....great tour!!
We are going to the Osasis , how did you like it ?
Walter love your videos. Walter do you recommend taxis from the airport or a private shuttle ?
i miz this island, can't wait to return working at shore club long bay beach
thank u mark
Hi thanks for the video do you know if the island is affected by sargassun or mass seaweed in summer just like the rest of the Caribbean?
Nope not here
just got back from there.
beer is about 3 dollars -5 dollars a can /bottle including local beer...typical meal started out at 18 dollars
we didn't use bug spray at all
taxi anywhere is always about 20---25 dollars a piece ( per person).
I did tipping American style... 5 here 10 there, the locals didn't seem to impressed
we stayed at an AirBnB on Middle caicos.. so ferry to prov was 60 per person round trip. ( next time we will just explorer Prov. Middle Caicos had nothing exciting._
Save money pay for the extra luggage and bring food...rice,bread, etc etc...chips...soda you get the point
Beautiful place.👍
would you say a car is needed to get around if we are mainly looking to relax, eat food and do one day of excursions? we are planning on staying in an airbnb in grace bay, would you say theres a lot of food within walking distance?
yeah, us Caribbean islands our drivers are not biking friendly, even in Dutch Antilles Curaçao where I am from people rarely use bikes outside their yards or resorts, because biking is dangerous, only Dutch people dare to use bikes on the islands and even they who are used to riding bikes in their country are hesitant to do it on the islands, so do be careful if you still decide to ride bikes on Caribbean islands busy streets.
Anybody been to TCI lately? Any issues with villa break-ins, armed robberies, murders,...that type of thing since November 2022? Heard that usually it is very safe but there were some issues last year.
The food looks amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Great insight Wolter! Absolutely beautiful place, especially Grace Bay area on Providenciales. Unfortunately, great numbers of Haitians land on the shores of Turks and Caicos and Provo regularly, in fact, nearly 1,000 in the first 4 months of 2021. Crime has been ramping up for years. Mainly burglaries and theft, but threats and robbery by machete and gun crimes are way up. I've been twice, loved it, but I did felt anxiety, especially if the sun was setting. It is definitely not getting any better there. Grace Bay is one of the safest areas, being a tourism destination and somewhat protected, but definitely not immune to crime... like so much of this planet. Happy travels!
Beach, relax - repeat - yea I could handle that
I stayed at Club Med there in 1992. I can’t believe it’s still there. I thought they went out of business.
Thank u for this video it answered many of my questions I had but can u advise anything regarding vaccination?
Still British by the way. Good show!
Do you have to get the vaccine before you visit?
Love your electrical knowledge, 😆
I really appreciate it Ay live in Dominican Republic how can I get over there tell me if somebody can help me just to visit ther
Hi Walter where is you wife on time stamp 3:10 I am here in TCI and I want to take a picture there?
💖🌷💖🌷💖WOW，so beautiful !
Thank you! Cheers!
What is the travel restrictions, do I have to be vaccinated or negative covid test is good enough? Those are not mentioned
At about 1:24 to 1:33 you said it all; beach, relax, repeat. There is virtually nothing else worth going there for. If you want to lay on the beach and swim or snorkel for a week or two, then go to the Turks & Caicos, but don’t expect to find much else to amuse yourself. Other than some nice beaches, there really isn’t any interesting scenery.
Not true.
True
Best place in the world so far! Been there exactly where u are standing. Over 20 times. Some of your pictures should be updated. You are not showing how beautiful things really are. Just saying. It’s better in person. It’s not that expensive off season. Water is amazing! You should visit again to see more beauty.
Thanks Denise! Yeah, i agree, pictures and videos really don't capture the beauty
Please Turks and Caicos become Canadas 11th province 🙏
Why?
