Exclusive Grand Turk Safari
Where Island Life and Wildlife Meet

Discover the untamed beauty of Grand Turk on this exclusive safari experience. Led by local residents, this tour offers a unique opportunity to witness the island’s iconic free-roaming animals — donkeys, horses, cows, goats, and chickens — as they live naturally among the island’s quiet communities.

This guided journey winds through Grand Turk’s residential backroads and scenic routes, where animals are often found grazing near homes or resting in shaded corners known only to locals. Along the way, guests will also visit the historic Grand Turk Lighthouse, the serene salt ponds — home to flamingos and coastal birds — and enjoy panoramic views that reflect the island’s heritage and charm.

As the only island in Turks and Caicos where people still live side by side with wildlife, Grand Turk offers a truly rare experience — one that’s both immersive and unforgettable.
