Detailed itinerary
1
Wade’s Green Plantation is located in the settlement of Kew in North Caicos. It is regarded as one of the best surviving example of a Loyalist plantation left anywhere in the Caribbean.
2
Cottage Pond was formed through a geological process known as the Karst process. Sea levels play a significant role in the formation of blue holes. This explains why the Middle Caicos Ocean Hole, likely the world's broadest blue hole, has a similar depth despite being located 19 miles (31 km) away. Cottage Pond is slightly tidal and connected to the ocean, probably through the porous limestone of the Caicos Islands plateau and tiny fissures.
3
Located on Middle Caicos, is the largest above ground cave system in the Bahamas-Turks and Caicos Islands archipelago. The caves are near their namesake village of Conch Bar. In the 1880s, the caves were mined for guano, which was exported as fertilizer. Many markings and etchings have been left by miners in the caves, many with names and dates. It was during this time of excavation that a number of Lucayan artifacts were discovered within the cave system.
4
Spectacular views of the gorgeous beach can be seen from this spot, which is arguably the most beautiful spot in the Turks & Caicos.
5
As the location’s name suggests, this area's shallow water is typically inhabited by the West Indian Flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber, also known as the American Flamingo or Caribbean Flamingo), and the flock here at times numbers in the thousands.
