Getting around
Contents
Boat
A ferry runs biweekly from Grand Turk to Salt Cay (US$12 round-trip). Contact Salt Cay Charters (231-6663; piratequeen3@hotmail.com). Whale-watching boat trips with this bunch cost US$75. Arrangements can also be made with any of the Grand Turk dive companies to take you over to Salt Cay; costs vary depending on numbers, but expect to pay about $60.
Car & motorcycle
Car & scooter
You’re hardly likely to need a car in town, but do pay attention anyway to the one-way system along Duke and Front St. You can rent cars from Tony’s Car Rental (231-1806; Airport Rd), located at the airport.
Local transport
Taxi
Taxis are an inexpensive and reliable way to get around Grand Turk. A taxi from the airport to town will cost you about US$8, but be sure to settle on a price before you head out as the cabs are unmetered. Your hotel can easily sort you a cab, or call Carl’s Taxi Service (241-8793)
Bicycle
Most, if not all, hotels on Grand Turk provide bikes for their guests as they are the perfect way to get around the tiny island. On Salt Cay, Trade Winds Guest Suites (946-6906; www.tradewinds.tc; Victoria St, Salt Cay) will get you pedaling for US$10 per day.
