Overview
Overview
If you’ve ever had someone describe a trip to Turks and Caicos to you, it’s likely they have tried in vain to describe the color of the bright Caribbean water. Somewhere between a celeste, turquoise, and tiffany, the water is nearly fluorescent and set against startling white sand. And, with a commitment to eco-preservation, it’s likely to stay that way for years to come. In Turks and Caicos, you can enjoy these unspoiled beaches both on land and underwater. Kite surfing, kayaking and sailing are popular excursions. The island is also home to the world’s only conch farm.

Black forest is a dramatic wall dive and one of the island’s most beautiful- and unusual. There are a number of reefs, harbors, and cays on the islands ranging from popular and amenity-filled to untouched and secluded. Off the beaten path, try horseback riding through the water in Providenciales for a romantic excursion. For a luxurious night out, we recommend visiting the Regent Palms. Not only is it beautiful, but it is a great spot for LGBT travelers to unwind.
