How to Get There:
American Airlines has three daily flights out of Miami to Providenciales (Provo) and also flies direct from New York. US Airways flies 4 days a week out of Charlotte, North Carolina and British Airways flys from England once per week. Westjet and Air Canada have direct flights from Toronto Canada.We recommend that you land at Provo before 3.00pm and Island hop the same day via ferry service from Provo to Sandy Point on North Caicos at a cost of 25.00 per person where our manager will pick you up and take you to our villa on Middle Caicos via the causeway that links the islands. No ferry pre-booking is required. Book your flights to Provo as early as possible during peak seasons from November to April as flights are very busy.

Arrival:
Our manager or one of his helpers will pick you up or you can rent a car in advance of your arrival.
Transportation on Middle Caicos is either by taxi or car rental.

What to Take:
We strongly recommend that you take as little as possible realizing that the average temperature on the islands is 78 degrees Fahrenheit at night and 84 degrees Fahrenheit in the daytime. On occasion insects can be a pesky. Although the Villa is well screened we recommend you bring some bug repellent.

Boating, Fishing, Snorkeling, and Day Trips:
Bring your own fishing and snorkeling gear with you. We recommend that you go out with a local fisherman on his boat, particularly when you are not familiar with the waters. Snorkeling trips as well as day trips on the island and to other local islands can be arranged through our manager. If you go fishing it is likely you will catch enough fish in one day to feed the family for a week. The bone fishing is world famous!

Trekking and Historical Walks and Sites:
There are some excellent walks and historical sites to visit. Arrangements can be made to see the huge caves in Conch Bar as well as visit the historical ruins on the easterly side of the island.

Shopping: There is limited grocery shopping on Middle Caicos. You will likely have time to do your shopping at the IGA or Island Pride grocery store and Carib liquor store in Provo on the way through. Special arrangements can be made with ourselves to use our grocery account at the Island Pride permitting you to fax your grocery order to the store prior to leaving home with the groceries being available for pick up as you ferry or fly over. Details on how to do this will be provided on request. Also, food may be brought through customs from the mainland. There is very good shopping in North Caicos with easy access via the causeway linking the islands. Finally, you can buy fish, couch, and lobster directly through our manager.

The women in Bambarra are excellent craft people and you will find ample opportunity to purchase beautifully woven baskets, mats and the like. Apart from that there is nothing to buy on the island and nothing more to spend your money on.

Only US currency is accepted in the Islands. There are banking facilities at Provo and Grand Turk (Scotia Bank , Royal Bank and First Caribbean). Scotia and Royal banks have ATM facilities. The economy on the outer islands (our Middle Caicos) works on a cash basis with no credit card or travellor cheque facilities and we recommend that you bring cash in small denominations.US travelers cheques and credit cards are widely accepted in Provo including grocery stores and airlines.
