Grand Turk Private Historical and Ecology Tour

Your guide is a local historian with surprising stories to share. In the 1950s and 1960s, Grand Turk played a role in historic space missions.

Visit the Turks and Caicos Islands National Museum to learn about the Tanios/Lucayans and see the Western Hemisphere’s oldest known European shipwreck.
