City break in Providenciales Island. Active leisure ideas for Providenciales Island - attractions, recreation and nightlife

You can fully enjoy horseriding on Providenciales. Here is a large stable «Provo Ponies», where patient instructors will not only tell you how to sit on a horse and how to ride cloven-hoofed, but also pick up a horse according to your height, weight, temperament and even mood. Do you want to have a leisurely walk? Then you will be offered a phlegmatic, hardy and very calm horse, perfect even for an inexperienced rider. Already have experience in riding a horse and want to gallop on the local beaches? Then get a frisky horse. In addition, there is an opportunity to swim with a horse or directly on the horse in the sea.

You can get a lot of impressions by moving on foot on the island. The National Park of Princess Alexandra takes the most part of the island. There are more than a dozen routes of different categories of complexity. Some of them are nice for unprepared tourists, while others can be a challenge even for the experienced traveller. In any case, you can enjoy amazing local flora and fauna. More than ten species of rare birds nest here and several endemic plants grow. In addition, there are beautiful salt lakes in the park.

Do you want to have a luxury holiday and learn how to sail? Then rent a ship parked at Sapodilla Bay or Leeward Marina and go to sunbathe and swim directly out to the sea. Those who love leisurely entertainments will like to spend time in the local golf clubs. There are fields made according to international standards. Moreover, you can learn to «catch a wave» on Providenciales. The island is perfect for beginners who are afraid of high waves and for professionals who want to improve their skills in the most difficult situations. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Don't forget to explore the Hole Cave - a rather unusual geological formation which is connected with various local mysteries. Perhaps pirates hid their treasure at that exact place before the first settlers came to the island. You can conquer a fairly large rock on Sapodilla beach, which offers a magnificent view of the island and the whole state of Turks and Caicos. In addition, at the top you can see dates dating back to the 19th century carved on the stones– a trace of travellers who visited this place in the past. However, it is clear why they wanted to leave some signs- it is difficult to climb the rock and this trip can rightfully be considered a real conquest of nature.

The island is ideal for diving. There are many wonderful coral reefs with a traditionally large number of different marine life. The best place for diving is the area near Grace Bay. There are sets for beginners and experienced divers. You can find picturesque places in Alexandra Park, where coral Gardens Reef is located. It is best to dive with an instructor or a group – the local waters are full of underwater currents and there can be several species of dangerous to humans inhabitants like rays or sharks. You can rent equipment and learn all the basics of diving «from scratch» on the island in any of the diving school.

Not only those who love to swim and sunbathe will enjoy holidays on Grace Bay. This is one of the largest beaches in the world, its length is 22 kilometres. There are secluded places for snorkelling, and gentle slopes for beginners, and almost endless spaces for experienced swimmers. In addition, there are several bars on the beach where you can eat or order a cold drink. Taylor Bay will please those who love to swim in warm waters – the water is well heated in this shallow Bay and it is always warmer than on other island beaches.

Long Bay is a windy beach. It will be good for surfers, windsurfers and those who need to have a private place. It is difficult to reach a part of the beach, so there are not many tourists. There is a large variety of nightclubs on the island. Some of them have parties on beaches. The most interesting places here are Lucid Illumination and Blu Bar & Lounge. You can also see unique party busses here called Grace Bay Pub Crawl, which you should definitely rent with a company of friends.
