North and Middle Caicos are the two largest island in the Turks and Caicos and are relatively sparsely populated. On this page you'll find information on getting to both islands.

Three things to keep in mind:
  • A causeway road connects North and Middle Caicos, so it's easy to travel between both islands.
  • All of the regular flights and ferry services to North Caicos depart from Providenciales. No service is offered from Grand Turk and no international flights land on North or Middle Caicos.
  • No scheduled air or sea transport is offered to Middle Caicos, so you either have to travel through North Caicos to reach Middle Caicos (recommended), or arrange a private charter.
