Those looking for an exotic break, far from the conventions of ordinary holidaying, should consider a stay in the Caribbean Islands of Turks and Caicos.  Formed of two sets of islands and accessible via different airports positioned on the islands, one thing that immediately sets this place apart from other tourist destinations is the opportunities afforded by the surrounding waters.  A range of exciting activities of an aquatic nature such as parasailing, fishing, snorkelling and boating are all on offer here, making the islands an ideal destination for those who appreciate the sun and a spirit of adventure. 
 
Visitors to this stunning destination may be intrigued to learn that between the latter part of January and early April, North Atlantic humpback whales swim through the waters surrounding Grand Turk and Salt Cay.  These magnificent mammals can be viewed on a whale watching trip; one can only imagine how awe-inspiring this experience promises to be.  This is not the only insight into the power and grace of our natural world available in this location though, with a huge array of birds, marine turtles and even dolphins all found in around this beautiful part of the planet.  
 
Elsewhere, various galleries and shops should please those wanting to purchase gifts and enjoy the more artistic aspects of Turks and Caicos.  In addition, the Island Fish Fry and the Annual Wine Cellar Golf and Fishing Tournament are welcome opportunities to take part in local events and learn a little more about the local culture.  In terms of accommodation, numerous five star hotels are located in across the islands, plus several villas and beach houses.   Add to this fabulous scenery as well as a tropical climate,it is not difficult to conceive of this being a must-visit destination.
