The Turks and Caicos Islands actually consists of two separate groups of islands- the Caicos Islands, which is the larger of the two, and the Turks Islands. They are a British Overseas Territory (although the currency used in the islands is the US dollar) and are situated near the Bahamas. The islands are a famous tourist destination and enjoy pleasant weather almost throughout the year making it a nice place to visit in all seasons. This is the ideal place to try out a variety of water sports.
Kayaking is an activity that is popular throughout the world. It requires a little skill and exertion but can be loads of fun. One popular activity in the Turks & Caicos Islands is exploring the mangroves by kayak. The mangrove regions are bustling with all sorts of marine life just waiting to be discovered. Here one can encounter a variety of fish such as the Checkered Pufferfish, Lemon Sharks, Needlefish, Bonefish and Sergeant Majors, as well as a variety of birds including the Brown Pelican (the country’s national bird), the American Oystercatcher, Egrets and Herons.
A trip can last anywhere between a few hours to a day or two- interested tourists can get packages that include kayaking and camping. Scuba diving is another ‘must do’ activity. The waters in the region are filled with strange and wonderful aquatic life and scuba diving gives one a close up view of this exotic marine world. Those who would rather not go scuba diving can instead try snorkelling, which takes place at shallower depths. While it does not give the same exposure to the marine world, it can still be a fun and rewarding experience.
