Things to Do in Turks and Caicos

This British Overseas Territory is a luxury destination focused on beach relaxation and world-class diving. The third-largest coral reef system provides extraordinary underwater visibility. TCI is quieter and more exclusive than most Caribbean destinations. Peak season is December through April. Budget $300-600/day — this is one of the Caribbean's most expensive destinations.
