Unaccompanied minors need a valid passport and notarized consent from their parent or legal guardian to leave the islands.

Visit the Canadian Travel and Tourism website for more information on entry and exit requirements.

Turks and Caicos enjoy a tropical climate with about 350 days of sunshine every year. They have a hot and cool season only a small variance between them. Eastern trade winds help keep the islands more temperate with consistent breezes.

May to October is the hotter period with temperatures ranging from about 29 to 32 degrees. November to April is the cooler period and also the tourist season.

The islands do not get much rainfall. But, the islands are affected by hurricane season.

The Turks and Caicos Islands are a safe travel destination.

Be aware of your surroundings when using ATMs in the dark. Never leave valuable items out in the open.

Medical services have improved over the years. But, patients with serious issues may need to be airlifted to another country.

Secondary roads are often unpaved. There are few road signs in general. Drivers should be wary against wandering animals and be familiar with roundabout procedure.

Turks and Caicos offer the chance to explore reefs, especially with Smith’s Reef and Bright Reef.

Smith’s Reef is large and shallow, filled with animals such as turtles, lobsters, stingrays, and countless varieties of beautiful fish. There are three different entrances to Smith’s Reef from the East, West, and North. Some rocky areas are slippery so be sure to go through sand to get to the reef to avoid possible injury.

Though Bright Reef may be smaller, it still has a tremendous snorkeling adventure. Signs are posted to explain what you’re seeing. You can enjoy variety with water depths ranging from one to five metres and several spots close to the shore. There are also quite a few mini-caves to check out, where you can potentially see hiding fish and sea turtles.

Think ahead on what to pack by perusing these suggestions:

  • Sun Protection – The Turks and Caicos Islands can be hot due to their tropical climate. Make sure you pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and some form of head covering.
  • Travellers’ Diarrhea Kit – It’s the one thing that could easily ruin your trip if you fall ill. Make sure you bring a kit with you to stay protected.
  • Snorkel Gear – With so many amazing reefs, having some snorkeling equipment is a must.

While there is no embassy serving the islands, the Canadian High Commission in Jamaica offers assistance:
