Let the adventure begin.....
One of our top recommended ways to spend your day is to explore Grand Turk on your own. The island is easy to navigate, and it’s simple to book your transport. Car and vehicle rentals are typically picked up and dropped off right outside the entrance to the Grand Turk Cruise Center. With your own rental, you’ll be able to discover the beaches and sights at your own pace, and you’ll be able to escape the crowds too. If you’d prefer not to drive, taxis are readily available from the cruise center.
