1.Grand Turk Historical Sightseeing Tour by Tram

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 403 reviews · from $25Our pick

Explore Grand Turk from an open-air tram with local guides Doug and Carly. Visit Cockburn Town, historic churches, Her Majesty’s Prison, the salt ponds, and Grand Turk Lighthouse, with food tastings and a drink included. Allow up to three hours, and bring sun and rain protection.

“Tour guide Doug was great! Did have some technical difficulties with sound system. By choice we sat in the front row of the second tram and the motor was loud and you could smell the exhaust from the tram directly in front of us. The tram was quite full so we really could not move but this was our mistake picking these seats. The stops were insightful to the history of the island. This tour was a very cost effective way to see the highlights of Grand Turk. Would recommend despite the issues I mentioned above.”

“Not worth the cost of the tour, you’re better off spending that money on a nice dinner. Very little info and the lunch was blah.”
