Turks and Caicos Easter holidays
Easter is a great time to visit Turks and Caicos, there’s lots of sunshine, a low chance of rain and lovely warm temperatures ranging from 24 °C - 28 °C. Remember to try and book early, as prices increase during the school holidays.
Turks and Caicos celebrate Easter as a religious holiday, so many church services will be going on during this time. It’s also a public holiday, where locals get four days off work to celebrate with their families. Easter Monday can be spent on the beach joining in fun games and trying some delicious dishes. You’ll love the atmosphere at this time of year.
