People that are lucky enough to visit this place between January and April should visit Salt Cay. The reason why we say this is simple. By doing that, you will get the opportunity to enjoy whale watching activity.

To make things clear, all the visitors have two different options. They can charter a private whale-spotting boat if their budget allows them that. On the other hand, you can also stan on the salt-sprayed cliffs and enjoy the beautiful view. You will see the Turks Head passage that connects water with the western Caribbean. Despite that, you will easily spot a big number of whales in the Silver Banks warm waters.
Boat Cruise to the Caicos Cays

Between Providenciales and North Caicos, you will manage to find dozens of small cays. Almost each one comes with a white sand beach where you can enjoy the beautiful view and climate. However, there is one thing that we need to mention here. The animal lovers will also find something exciting on some of these cays. It is the only place in the world where you can find Ruks and Caocis Rock Iguanas. For instance, you will manage to find them on Little Water Cay, Half Moon Bay, Water Cay, etc.

Golf lovers already know that Provo Gold Club is one of the most popular 18-hole championship courses. More precisely, it is the most important one in the entire Caribbean. However, the design of the entire course is something you will surely like. The place is full of chalk-white bunkers, with different coconut plants, pine blooms, and swaying palm trees. Near the Provo Golf Club course, there are also a couple of tennis courts where you can enjoy that sport as well.
Visit the Turk & Caicos National Museum

As we said, getting familiar with the new culture and tradition is one of the reasons why people travel. If you want to find out more about Turks and Caicos culture, visiting their National Museum would be the right choice. You will manage to find it in Cockburn Town, the capital city of the archipelago.
Do not surprise if the locals tell you to visit Guinea House. They name the museum in that way. It got the name because of the large tropical fruit tree located in the front of the museum. Believe it or not, the tree is around 200 years old.

Anyway, things that you can see inside the museum are different. For instance, you can see the remains of the Molasses Reef Wreck. It is the oldest shipwreck on the entire American continent. Indeed, the shipwreck is reconstructed, but that does not reduce its beauty.

Exploring the Provo with Jeep

Renting different vehicles in the entire country is available to all the tourists. People that plan to explore Provo should rent something fun to drive. Because of that, we recommend you rent a Jeep or even a 4×4. The locals will introduce you to different coastal routes you should go through.
However, we need to highlight one important thing here. People will get the chance to explore a big number of beaches. Yet, you mustn’t drive your vehicle on the beaches. In that way, you may damage the environment. We are sure that is something you would want to avoid.
