As someone that lives in Turks and Caicos, your video is pretty accurate. However, we do not add tax on groceries. Most local restaurants that are not in the “tourist areas” also do not add tax. Also, you can party at some local bars but I would suggest going to bars in the Grace Bay Area eg. Shisha Lounge, Blu Bar, Danny Bouys and the Ritz Carlton just to name a few. I also would say visit Grand Turk either on a cruise or book a flight for the day and enjoy that island. You will get a more local experience in Grand Turk as opposed to Provo but both are amazing to see.
Great tips! Thank you. We are coming for 10 days…second time, next week. ( End of July.) Barbados used to be my favorite island in the Caribbean but… after discovering T&C during Covid, we have a new number one. Can hardly wait. Shoutout to Grace Bay Club and Coco Bistro. 🥰See you all soon:)
no businesses in T&C add tax on the bills. that is the entire marketing campaign of the islands - that there is "no tax". but that is misleading. the taxes are simply applied ahead of time - everything that is imported into the islands is charged a 30% import tax.
Your government abducting Americans for ammo has me PISSED. You are lucky our military is disciplined. Once people learn what's really happening people are going to stop going there. Red coat trash laws
One of the things I appreciate about your videos is that you always encourage us viewers to interact with the local people and cultures. I feel like with all the hustle and bustle, we often forget that this is one of the most important aspects of travel. Thx for the reminders. 👍
@@woltersworld I am from Turks and Caicos bad part is that we as locals don't get exposure. If your able to check out my music, my latest song is called Left me on Read. I think you might like it.
My wife and I have been vacationing in Turks since 1997 and absolutely love it. We have been to many countries over the years but Turks is our favorite. Thanks for the great video
Beach, relax, repeat is what I want! I'm cruising in and Grand Turk is the last stop. After, going hard on my cruise. All I want is beach,relax, repeat. I'm glad I found your channel. I will be watching.
Really gained a lot from this video - thank you for putting it together!! Shared it with my son and future daughter in law who are going for their honeymoon. Loved it!!
Been there. Yes! Beautiful Island. Expensive. It’s all about the beach. Ultimate relaxation island. Great job with this video. I will check out your other videos.
Hi friends, are you going to be doing anymore of Do's or hybrid Do's and don't's videos? I liked how you used to give like five of each (don't waste your time with this, don't get caught off guard with that; you HAVE to go here or do that) which made me feel like I had a better opportunity to plan my trips. Thanks for all your videos, one of the highlights of my week
Okay 😂Wolter ; where in da World haven’t you been ?? I watched your Portugal vlog before my trip to Lisbon last year & Loved it 😍😍!!! Keep Up the videos; we love it !!!
Shisha Lounge in Providenciales is where to go for a party if that’s what you’re looking for. There’s also a floating bar in the middle of the ocean. TCI is what you make of it! Though I agree it’s a relaxing place to be, you can def party hard if you ask the locals. Also, I’d like to stress the importance of reef safe sunscreen!
We went here three years ago to the beaches resort and i must say this was the best holiday we’ve ever had, pure paradise, a lot of people thought we were mad flying all this way from the UK for just a week, it was worth every penny and every hour getting there, fantastic people and staff, super friendly, and Grace Bay was just stunning, looks like we,ll be saving again soon for another visit one day, next time though definitely two weeks👍👍👍😎🇬🇧
An easier and cheaper holiday would be nearby channel islands like Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney & Herm. Also just going to different areas of The UK or Ireland, obviously travelling is harder for UK nationals now since brexit.
@@Anonymoose66G what’s travelling to the Caribbean got to do with brexit , it’s not even in Europe ! Also just to put your ignorance right . Traveling within the EU for the brits had hardly changed .
@@anthonyhull1274 Who's travelling to the Caribbean? The channel islands and location in-between The Uk & France, they are in Europe... They are crown dependencies & sovereign territories.
@@anthonyhull1274 It absolutely does, you need to spend more, wait longer & you need more documents. You'll be charged on roaming mobile data, you no longer have access to European Health Insurance, Brits will require a VISA waiver which you have to pay for, you no longer have freedom of capital & movement between EU member states so if you wanted to move it'd be much harder, you need an Animal Health Certificate to bring any pets with you & you can only stay 90 days within EU territory every 180 days & you can no longer be fast tracked through customs & finally you might need to pay for a new passport since your now required to have one with you whilst travelling through Europe.
I’m kind of surprised that, unless I missed it somehow, it wasn’t mentioned that there is NO SMOKING on the beaches BY LAW. I absolutely love this, because I’m there for the smell of salt water… not someone’s Marlboros. If you’re at a resort and someone lights up on the chairs next to you, let an attendant know. This is illegal. If you can’t enjoy a day at the beach without smoking, there are plenty of other beautiful places to go.
That’s Awesome 😂😂; just imagine how healthy these local islanders are ; since Smoking is scorned upon !!! Not to mention all the organic & natural foods on the island 💯💯💯!!!
I vacationed in Provo and I have to say it was one of the best places I’ve been to. I’ve been to a lot of places and Provo and Bermuda are my top spots. Also, great video and I think you were spot on with your analysis.
accidentally in quotes because you think the guy was an arms dealer? It was a shakedown on one of our fellow citizens for a $9,000 payment. Let’s make sure we cost them 100 times that in lost tourism. Tourism is all that place has.
This isn’t Second Amendment-ville. Like the majority of countries in the world, TCI takes their gun control and regulations seriously. Throwing your weight around as a hapless American will get you nowhere, except maybe prison if you are too obtuse to check your luggage for ammunition before traveling.
Wonderful place! Glad you have experienced it. Grace Bay is beautiful and it's pretty cool to have that big IGA grocery store nearby. If you're not looking to eat out all the time It sure is nice to be able to buy your own groceries at a big grocery. Super laid back, quiet place with great snorkeling... just ask a local business if you need help. Friendly folks. Sand in the swimming suit... oh well. Have a drink! Cheers!
Note: As a waitress in Turks and Caicos. Tax is only added to Restaurants. Other things like merchandise etc are final price😀 other than that great video❤️
The Turks & Caicos islands are the ultimate dive destination for snorkelers and scuba enthusiasts looking for clear ocean and thriving marine life. Expect to see anything from colorful coral of varying types, to tropical fish, turtles, dolphins, and more.
Ah yes! Turks & Caicos. I was there about 30 years ago when everything was clean and pristine. Back then the normal people could afford to go to Provo. Not anymore! The island has become home for the well off vacationer. It's too bad I would love to go back but I can't afford it.
We support that! Both our boys took their 1st flights at 6wks old. We never looked back and it's been an incredible experience and education for all of us!
@@scottishgirl1100 I found travel with a newborn fairly easy. I got a lot of pushback from well, pretty much everyone. But we did it and loved it. My kids world view is big, big as the world.
If I may, I'd like to add a don't that will hold pretty much anywhere. Unless a person is an experienced and regular rider of horses, don't wear shorts as you will get chafed in places you don't want...especially if you want to wade into the salt water. At least wear long pants if not jeans. Also, don't go for more than 30-40 minutes. You're legs will hate you for the next day or so, especially as you get older, as you're lower half is simply not accustomed to sitting like that. Once again, excellent video and thank you.
Don’t forget to drink the local Turks Head beer and Osprey vodka rather than US imports. Much less expensive and truly delightful. Visit the brewery too. It’s also a great place to get your drinking water. Plus it’s owned by a Canadian!!! 🇨🇦
My husband was born there, but now lives in Sydney Australia. He bought the house for his mom, but she died recently..Emmanuel told me theres nothing to do only swim n relax..I can't swim lol..He told me I would get bored too quick there..
Thank for explaining my island I would say you got mustly everything right it is a very small and relaxing place it the same with work everyday its the same work n home
Many ppl take taxis from the airport, to their accommodations on the Island. I’d suggest asking them for a business card and have a chat w them about what to see and do. They will give you a quote on fares and maybe give you a deal. I was there in October 2021 and booked another trip, as soon as I got home (Toronto). Cant wait for another amazing 2 weeks at Club Med!!!
Just came home from there. Best beach I have ever been to. Grace Bay is the BOMB! Stayed at the Club Med. Can't say enough about it. And it was sooooo quiet and relaxing. We will return.
This was such a thorough & fun video, your energy is just amazing!! I’ll be in Provo next week and I’m so excited to just beach, relax, repeat! Do you have any tips or a video on travel insurance specifically for Turks & Caicos? The travel authorization process is stressing me out a bit. Thankss for an amazing video!
Been to Turk's and Caicos a few years ago. Honestly, the beaches were amazing, the water was really awesome, nice food, lovely weather, great beaches, but outside the resort it is kind of a sad and depressed area
Like most islands I've been to the resort destinations are pretty much it and the rest of the place is poor compared to US standards. Eye-opening for ppl from the states tho if you've never seen it before. 1st place I ever traveled to was Jamaica & after seeing the island off the resort it was a Lil sad.
@@lkjonez13 US Standards? Lmfao!! Have you been to US cities in the last 10 years? How about industrial dead zones and entire areas devastated by drugs. More people in prison than per capita than anywhere else in the world. Most unhealthy and unhappy people on the planet. What are these "standards" you speak of?
@@pwilki8631 of course. It's here! It's EVERYWHERE on this planet earth inhabited by hymen beings. My family and I are/ have been VERY fortunate to not have to be anywhere like that. That's just the truth. Not everyone in the US experience is the same. I did say the wrong thing tho. You are correct. The US is effed and it's not going to get better for most got a while, I'm sure. Eye opening as well. How great are we if we have homeless everywhere, food deserts, poor road systems, very little walkable cities, Healthcare is a mess, let's not bring up g u n s. You're right on that, my apologies.
You should've included dont try to bike on industrial-area roads where there's lots of trucks, and don't eat raw conch, you can get hep A.. and do know that even when it's cooked, the chance is still there due to improper handling
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!
I visited Turks and Caicos in January 2020. There was a small marathon, just 21 of us and I came in 2nd place. I remember liking Grace Bay so much that I was actually disinterested in the marathon. But that said 13 miles was in the dark with potholes and the other 13 miles was in blazing sun. We ended up running on the left being British and running on sidewalks for safety. Besides the road race I swam in the beach and in the lazy River at The Sands Resort. I had a private room facing the ocean. It was nice having 85°F weather in January. I want to go back, despite the cost. $$$$
T & C is the most expensive vacation I have ever went on. they proudly advertise that there are no taxes there, yet the reality is that there is a 30% tax on everything that is imported into the islands, which is almost everything. as a couple, every time we sat down for lunch it was %$50 US. dinners were $150. my other complaint about T & C is the amount of litter and neglect. full cases of empty beer bottles all over the sides of the roads. and several of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been on completely covered in plastic debris washed in from the ocean and apparently no organized effort to clean it up. T & C has the most amazing blue water anywhere in the world, some of the most incredible beaches I gave been to... but the level of neglect sadly made it a heart breaking place to visit.
The level of neglect for the TCI locals from the government is a good place to start.This is a very expensive country that doesn't have competitive wages considering they pay in US currency.
Thanks for your honesty. Most vlogger’s only give you the good side. But I couldn’t spent this kind of money and stay relaxed. It would take me years to safe up . Mexico and Dominican Republic or Mexico will do. Just watched a video from a Canadian couple vlogging from T&C how expensive it is. Not for Us.
Thank you for stressing the fact that Turks is NOT a party destination. Let's keep this gem a quiet and relaxing sanctuary💆🏻♀️💆♂️💆
It actually is a bit of a party place there are a few bars and clubs
Who told you it’s not a party place💀
💆🏾♀️🤴🏿👸🏾
Definitely a party place aziza and shisha ❤
You just keep it period.

T & C is the most expensive vacation I have ever went on. they proudly advertise that there are no taxes there, yet the reality is that there is a 30% tax on everything that is imported into the islands, which is almost everything. as a couple, every time we sat down for lunch it was %$50 US. dinners were $150. my other complaint about T & C is the amount of litter and neglect. full cases of empty beer bottles all over the sides of the roads. and several of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been on completely covered in plastic debris washed in from the ocean and apparently no organized effort to clean it up. T & C has the most amazing blue water anywhere in the world, some of the most incredible beaches I gave been to... but the level of neglect sadly made it a heart breaking place to visit.
The level of neglect for the TCI locals from the government is a good place to start.This is a very expensive country that doesn't have competitive wages considering they pay in US currency.
Thanks for your honesty. Most vlogger’s only give you the good side.
But I couldn’t spent this kind of money and stay relaxed.
It would take me years to safe up .
Mexico and Dominican Republic or Mexico will do.
Just watched a video from a Canadian couple vlogging from T&C how expensive it is. Not for Us.
