- TURKS AND CAICOS: Today we discuss the things to know about visiting Turks and Caicos Islands. This small island nation of less than 100,000 people is made up of 40 islands with just about 8 being inhabited. That means there is a lot of virgin beach in Turks and Caicos. I spent my time on the main island of Providenciales but some of you on cruise ships will go to Grand Turk. This is a full Turks and Caicos travel guide.

Very well done video, my man. Informative, detailed and very, very enjoyable to watch. Thank you!!
The Turks & Caicos islands are the ultimate dive destination for snorkelers and scuba enthusiasts looking for clear ocean and thriving marine life
What a considerate video! Thank you
Very helpful, Brilliant video
Amazing Video and so insightful. Thank you . I was there 10 years ago and feel in love . Haven’t been able to return but planning to go this year. Just as spectacular as I remembered.

Nice Jeff
Where I need to be ya feel me 💯
Was there two weeks ago very beautiful, airport could have use upgrade though
Very Cool Place, I really want to go there. I’m a Turkish and Love Turks and Caicos Islands! 🇹🇷❤️🇹🇨
(It’s awesome that you have an island called "Grand Turk" 🐺 and i really want to see Turks Head Cactus 🌵🔺)
Turks & Caicos is owned by the British. It has 0 to do with Turkey
@@HD-mo7tk I know but i still love there. 😃
Coral garden was where I was going to stay but alas the restrictions on covid had me looking for a.testing center in the US (and not finding the right test) had me cancel the trip..I will eventually get there!
What camera did you film with for this video?
What is the hurricane season and best months for temperatures?
What are your recommendations for a boutique hotel at Grace Bay near restaurants and stores? Thereby minimizing the expensive taxis? Do retired expats get through the high humidity in the summer by being confined to air conditioning most of the time?
Hi how are you? I am going to go in August and I would like to know if there is sargassum on the beaches. Thank you
Yes, those air bnb added fees change everything !
I only just learned of this because of a plan to make the Turks and Caicos a Canadian province.
Do the cruise ships cause alot of crowding in restaurants?
How does Providenciales work for older folks seeking a quiet relaxing location? Staying on the beach and going out on boat trips? Does the island avoid the crowds and even the seaweed?
Are there taxis readily available everywhere?
What’s the update on the antigen test requirements for 2023?
My echo beach, far away in time
How rainy is it in November?
What are some health documents needed to be if you want to work in Turks and Caicos?
I’m at Turks and Caicos
My wife and I and our 4 kids will be there in a few weeks. My 17 year old daughter is allergic to seafood and nuts. Will we have a hard time getting food for her?
My plan is to bring snack food with us. Are there limits to the amount of food we can bring in suitcases?
I'm more into learning about what life is like for locals living in a place like this. I doubt they go clubbing and drink cocktails everyday.
What do they do in their spare time? What is work life like? Any funny stories of dealing with clueless tourists? What is it like to go grocery shopping? Are there any geeks and nerds living there who enjoy gaming and stuff like that? Are there regular clothing and shoe stores? (Not the overly expensive kind for tourists, but the kind of clothing you'd buy at Walmart). Or do they have to order them online and wait for them to arrive by boat or plane? So many other questions. I just can't find a video that answers stuff like this in small tropical tourist places.
Can anyone give me an estimate as to how much one would need to visit here all inclusive? In any currency is fine tho the guy mentioned US
Great video and information. Question?? I been hearing about these long arrival immigration lines during peak months. What are those months because We are heading to provo in early JULY and if July are in those high travel months so we can get the fast pass. Thnx
If either flight is delayed and arrives at the airport at same time. The problem is when they process to planes at once. I heard they were building an air conditioned tent to help with the immigration lines.
We are going in July as well and just going to purchase the fast track just in case. It’s like $152 for two
@@amberhayden3557 I was thinking 🤔 the same thing Amber. I herd in peak season and how many flights land upon your arrival it could be hrs before you exit the airport and that would definitely be a not so good start to our honeymoon. I’m not sure where I seen the option to purchase the fast pass. Where did you purchase yours from?? I would appreciate it much. Thnx
Just relax nothing can be done
Name of the restaurant please ?
You ain’t lie about drake. I actually came here because I saw a video of drake gifting a couple who missed their honey moon to come to his concert a holiday here.
👍
Which hotel was the one with the floating platform/trampoline thing right off the beach? Thanks!
Called “Beaches Turks and Caicos”
@@IslandHopperTV Ah, that was Beaches! Thank you. Have heard so many mixed reviews, we are booking elsewhere. Also, the only rooms left for our dates are over 20K for the week.
@susannanoon Next time you go try Seven Stars. It is our favorite place to stay. Will be back there in few weeks. Hope you enjoyed your stay wherever you ended up.
Was this video made in the last few days? Looks like beautiful weather! 😊
Yes it’s always beautiful weather there except during a hurricane.
@@IslandHopperTV We are heading there in a month, for the first time - really excited!
@@kevinbulldog3907 awesome let me know if you have any questions. Happy to share
Looks fairly windy as you stand on the beach at 10:09. If you've been to Aruba, how does it compare (windiness)?
Aruba gets more wind in my opinion. I did not experience much wind on cayman
@@IslandHopperTV you mentioned Cayman. I was referring to Turks & Caicos (this video).
im looking for an all inclusive apparently there is only one....
I can’t wait to go back . How it was the COVID text process to go back to USA . How much you it was ?
It was like 75 and you can find places on Google maps
hi a few questions, i'm having trouble deciding between aruba(staying at eagle beach) and t&c(staying at grace bay) and i saw you've done a travel guide for both!
Which one would you recommend for:
1. clear, calm beaches that aren't too crowded. been to cancun and the beaches were kind of choppy
2. easily accessible, not wanting to rent a car, but mainly looking to stay at the beach, eat food and do a day of excursions. open to taking a taxi if it's easily accessible, but don't think it'll be worth it if i mainly just want to relax on the beach and eat food.
thank you!!!
I was in St maarten a month ago and it fits all your requirements because the island is very small, I felt in love with the island, now I'm considering going to t&c
Better beaches on T&C but more to do on Aruba. T&C more for relaxing
we ve been to aruba stayed at the holiday inn gorgeous beach nice hotel u can take the bus into town cheap its safe and soooo gorgeous but not cheap never was cheap aruba is the windy island but would live there if i could u can take a jeep tour and see the whole island in a day
would be interesting to see the prices on the food and drinks that were shown.
I will work on that
@@IslandHopperTV cool - ty!
Is the town vegetarian and fish friendly?
Outbound Covid test there?
Someone recommend me to work in Turks and Caicos Island, im interested but im not familiar with the people there and its very far from my country Philippines.
between
Went years ago when it wasn't developed. Wish they kept it that way.beautiful place though to relax
Lol they have strong wifi too 😅 american airlines was heading to my country guyana south america., while passing over the island , my phone was like welcome to turks islands 😂above 37,000 feet
Your phone was supposed to be on airplane mode.
@@princessjele4930 nope that's only when take off
,💯💯💯👏👏👏
How are jobs for foreigners on the island?
I like the general facts alot of these travel vids don't do that.
I live here
Hi
i seen many of your videos how do you fund your travel i am jelous
explain ; alberta liberation
Do they still require vax documentation?
I believe they do actually still to this day
No more...it's all over.
The cases of covid are always high and the united states is always asking to avoid traveling to turks and caicos, are the cases really high? Do you feel insecure?
Accomidation is expensive 😮 I’m trying to do my research I can find anything below $200
This is true how many people will you go with Maybe AirBnB
I am thinking of going to turks and caicos in July. Should I worry about hurricanes in July?
I would say very slim chance.
You should worry about your flights getting cancelled at last minute because their airport always shuts down and closed for a day. Unfortunately that happened to us today and closed the whole day so our airline cancelled the whole trip
Hurricane season is always around October to April.
Is the Majority population are Africans’ descendants like Jamaica?
I wouldn’t be going there - go to Southeast Asia better. Not much different from Florida. Currently several Americans got caught with bullets / guns that were accidentally placed in their luggages. I am sure there will be less tourists attraction after these several incidents.
Is the airport on the island you stayed at?
Yes i stayed on the main island called Providenciales.
What’s the COVID requirements to enter TCI now
Negative test, fully vaccinated and health insurance which cover hotel fee if you get Covid while staying in the island. It’s quite crazy to get permits for entry but sooo worth it.
@@hangto8719 so you HAVE to be vaccinated or is it a option?
@@tellyetouchedit you have to fully vaccinated unfortunately.
Fully vaccinated & a negative covid test
By fully vaccinated they mean the booster also? What about kids?
I'll wait until the rona cold virus pcr bullshit goesmaway. For now I'll go to Mexico
You don't show the Island, just the beaches.
Step 1: Remove all your loose guns and ammo out of your duffel bag
they look like connected trophies tooth owners anothers
🇹🇨🇹🇨🇹🇨
Cay is Pronounced Key! The head of the government is not the Prime Minister, he or she is known as the Premier.
I always rent a car no matter what country I visit.
Alligators?
There is more to Turks and Caicos then just Provo. You video should be things to know about Provo.. not Turks & Caicos... there's so much more...Also.. Cay is pronounced KEY. Not Cay
Why don't you do a video about Turks then.
Beautiful but no thanks, not going through all that.
Unless it skipped me but I realise that you 'forgot' to state the type of people that inhabit that place. Blacks.
A lot of places in the world have beautiful beaches... One of the nicest beaches in the entire world is siesta Beach and by Sarasota Florida... Why go to an island that treats people who make a mistake like they're in a communist country. I would never go to that area ...why would you want to worry about if you make a mistake they'll throw you in their jail for years and years. People need to wake up and pay attention to what they're doing before traveling outside of the US. Do your homework on the legalities... find out what's happened to other people that have made mistakes. Don't be a sucker.
Why would anyone go there when one could be arrested and jailed for 12 years. No ammo or guns or u go to prison
The people that got arrested had ammunition
Lol it’s called conch salad
You have to be jabbed to get in this very woke country..
Well it is for safety
@@Deeznuts-rv7by lol safety.. jabbed people get covid multiple times and spread it. unjabbed barely ever get covid at all.. i don't know one person who has got covid who has not been jabbed.. yet EVERY person that i know that has the jab has had covid 2 or more times each. how is that 'safety'... getting the jab means you are a shedder too which is dangerous..... unjabbed can NOT SHED to others. Get your facts right and stop listening to uneducated people who hate real science.
Some made up cultural war bs by the mad white conservatives. I’m woke af and don’t mind going toe to toe with stupid racist🤷🏾♀️
Tell me where in Gods name would Turks blood dna be ab0 that’s impossible this is the country number 1 a white country no where is this leading to the Middle East but nice oceans
They have lovely prisons for their tourists. Paradise Prison.
Don’t go.
DONT VISIT
When you said lil durk 🤣👏🏽 sir what do you know about him ❤️
