Dune Buggy Island Adventure

  • Dune Buggy Island Adventure
From $ 100
Strap on your helmet and set off on an epic dune buggy ride around Grand Turk, with views of crashing waves, old salinas, and even pink flamingos.
There's no better (or more thrilling) way to explore Grand Turk than via dune buggy. Enjoy scenic views of the rocky Atlantic coastline and Gibbs Cay as you make your way to the Grand Turk Lighthouse (built in 1852). From here, you might even be able to spot humpback whales off the coast during the winter. After the lighthouse pit stop, you'll end the trip by driving past the island's famous salinas that used to harvest salt (and maybe even catch a glimpse of local pink flamingos).
