Grand Turk Beach Tour: Horseback Riding, Kayaking & Lunch

Ride horses through the surf, then paddle out on a guided kayak tour

This 2.5-hour guided beach tour on Grand Turk picks you up at the cruise port and takes you to Anuka Beach, where you ride horses in the sand and shallow water, paddle a kayak with a guide, and settle into a beach lodge chair with lunch and drinks. The Museum stop at the start gives a quick look at the island before the beach activities begin.

The experience

The tour starts with a 20 to 30 minute stop at the Museum, then moves to Pillary Beach and Anuka Beach, where the real day unfolds. You get a beach lodge chair and cushion for the afternoon, a complimentary rum punch or soft drink when you arrive, and access to WiFi if you need it. The guide is there to answer questions and help with anything that comes up during the day.

Horseback riding happens right on the beach sand and in the shallow water, no experience needed. After that, you join a guided kayak tour with the group, paddling out together. Lunch is four island conch fritters, two island wings, one fish finger and potato wedges. You get three alcoholic drinks (island rum punch) or three soft drinks, whichever you choose. A bathroom is on-site, and the whole setup is wheelchair accessible.

The tour runs 2.5 hours total and works for families with small children, who can ride in a stroller or sit on a parent's lap. Three purchase options let you book as a couple, a family, or a larger group. Each one includes the same beach activities and food, just adjusted for your party size.
