What you will do:
Segway® Adventure:
Ever wonder what it would be like to ride a Segway®? You'll be amazed at how much fun this personal transportation system is to ride and how quickly you'll get the hang of it. See the top attraction as you roll along both paved roads and the beach coastline. It's an intimate and personal way to get a sense of local color and culture. A friendly instructor will conduct a safety briefing and orientation. A Segway® is very stable; after a practice session, follow your guide onto the streets of historic Grand Turk, and off you go!

Photo Opportunity:
Take a moment to photograph the Friendship Capsule, a replica of the original space capsule used by astronaut John Glenn. Glenn was the first American to orbit the earth, splashing into the waters off the coast of Grand Turk.

What you will see along the way:
Cockburn Town
For almost 500 years, explorers, merchants, and pirates have long favored Turks and Caicos for its turquoise waters, powder-soft beaches, and abundance of sun. Cockburn Town, also referred to as Grand Turk, is the capital city of the Turks and Caicos Islands and has served as the seat of government for the islands since 1766. Located on the west coast of Grand Turk Island, the town has an eclectic mix of architecture with older structures showcasing influences from the British colonial Bermudian style, many of them renovated and restored. The historic center of Cockburn Town is found along a one-mile (1.6-km) stretch of picturesque coastline and sparkling beaches. Queen Street and Front Street are where you'll find important government structures and museums, while Duke Street is lined with pretty villas, inns and restaurants.
