Grace Bay & North & Middle Caicos

Base yourself in Grace Bay, then take a ferry to drive and stay overnight in North and Middle Caicos.

Spend the first four days on Providenciales, exploring Grace Bay, snorkeling the reefs, visiting the southwestern lagoons, and taking a boat to Little Water Cay to see iguanas. Then, cross by ferry to North Caicos for an overnight stay, leisurely exploring the caves and Mudjin Harbour cliffs. Perfect for families and couples who want to see a different side of the islands beyond beach resorts. Ferries and shops are limited on Sundays, so avoid crossing on that day.

Late November to mid-April is the dry season, while June to November is the hurricane season.
