The list included the following activities:
1. Go to the children’s park at The Bight. Located right on Grace Bay Beach, there are swings, a jungle gym, teeter totters and more.
2. After playing at the park, head across the street to the National Environmental Centre and view exhibits on the coral reef and ecosystem s in Turks & Caicos.

4. Go horseback riding with Provo Ponies on beautiful Long Bay Beach.
5. Spending the morning at Taylor Bay or Sapodilla Beach then head over to Neptune Villas where you can enjoy a tasty lunch at Las Brisas, followed by either a 2 hour pontoon boat cruise or some kayaking on Chalk Sound. Make arrangements with the owners of Las Brisas.
6. Arrange a boating excursion with Caicos Dream Tours to visit some other cays and do some snorkeling. Caicos Dream Tours’ excursions depart from the beach in front of the Alexandra Resort.
7. Visit Fun World, which offers mini golf, rock climbing and go-karts.
