8 Romantic Activities for Couples in Turks and Caicos
Charter a Private Boat
At the top of my list of romantic things to do in Turks and Caicos is chartering a private boat! With a huge selection of boat cruises and tours on Turks and Caicos you can spend a day relaxing in ultimate comfort while being pampered on the sea.
Book a day aboard a luxury yacht enjoying fresh tropical fruits and drinks, island hopping to secluded cays, and stopping at a private beach where you can sun, swim, snorkel and relax while a chef prepares your meal on board.
Or have a private boat drop you off at a sandy stretch of beach where you can bask in the beauty of the islands. They’ll leave you with an umbrella, table, chairs, picnic lunch, and a bottle of wine, too!
If you prefer an evening cruise, take in an island sunset at sea where, if the timing is right, you could witness the breathtaking natural display of underwater bioluminescence produced by the Turks and Caicos “glow worms”.
Romantic Dinner on the Beach with a Private Chef
Picture this: you and your partner sit down to a candlelit dinner on a private beach as the sun leisurely sinks into the ocean painting the sky in brilliant oranges, yellows, purples and reds. Candles gently flicker in the refreshing ocean breeze as a bottle of champagne chills in a silver bucket. The plates are filled with an amazing array of foods prepared just for the two of you by a private chef.
Sounds amazing, doesn’t it?! And it could easily be scheduled!
Take a Full Moon Paddle Tour
One of the many kayaking tours into the wilderness of the islands is a great way to explore the region’s remote cays, mangroves and tidal creeks. Or you can take the romance up a notch and schedule a full moon paddle tour for couples looking to spend a romantic evening together.
Take a Romantic Moonlit Stroll
With an average of 350 days of sunshine a year, and 83 degree temperatures, the white-sand and incredible bright turquoise water are one of the main draws of Turks and Caicos beaches. But the beauty of these pristine beaches are not just for daytime enjoyment.
Strolling hand-in-hand across the cool sand with a sparkling canopy of stars above and the full moon winking on the dark waters is a wonderfully romantic ending to the day.
Explore the Islands on Two Wheels Together
Rent bicycles or Vespa scooters and explore the islands together. The Turks and Caicos offer hundreds of naturally beautiful and interesting spots to visit including national parks, preserves, sanctuaries and historical sites. Witness the beauty of Chalk Sound National Park on Providenciales, explore the Conch Bar Caves on Middle Caicos, or check out the views and picnic in the shadow of Grand Turk Lighthouse.
Take a Scenic Hike and Picnic
Pack a picnic and head out to visit the picturesque Mudjin Harbour by taking a hike along the scenic Crossing Place Trail. A little slice of heaven along the north of Middle Caicos, Mujdin Harbour has amazing limestone cliffs overhanging sparkling blue waters and sandy beaches. Be sure to check out the little cave, too! No wonder it’s considered one of the most beautiful places on the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Snorkel or Dive in the Spectacular Seas
Spend an adventure-filled day snorkeling or diving in the warm, crystal-clear waters off Turks and Caicos. While spectacular coral and sea life can be found off of all of the main islands, the world’s third largest barrier reef offers divers a underwater world filled with colorful coral, impressive walls and underwater wildlife to explore.
You could see graceful spotted eagle rays, vividly-colored tropical fish, lobsters, crab and even powerful sharks. You might even spot a Humpback whale in the deep waters of the Turks Island Passage!
Take a Horseback Ride
There’s nothing like seeing the breathtaking beauty of the Turks and Caicos Islands from the back of a horse. Explore the white sand and turquoise waters of secluded Long Bay Beach, or take a private sunset ride along Bight Beach. Both group and private rides are available.
Visit a Spa
Spend some time together getting pampered at one of the island’s peaceful, full service luxury spas. Book a private yoga or pilates session in the morning, enjoy a light lunch and a tropical Caribbean cocktail in a private poolside cabana, or unwind from the day’s activities with a couple’s massage or one of the other many services offered.
In Summary
From dining on secluded beaches to romantic walks on moonlit beaches, Turks and Caicos offer lovers an incredible array of romantic activities. Whether it’s for your honeymoon, anniversary, or just a much-needed couple’s getaway, consider visiting Turks and Caicos on your next tropical island getaway.
