ACTIVITIES & EXCURSIONS
Amanyara’s exceptional natural setting ensures no shortage of exciting outdoor activities. Those mentioned below are just a few of the area’s many attractions.
Scuba Diving
With a 27km (17 miles) barrier reef that runs the length of the island’s northeast coastline, Providenciales provides a host of world-class dive sites. Located directly in front of the resort are the remarkable coral reef walls of Northwest Point Marine National Park.
Snorkelling
Snorkelling can be enjoyed off the beach at Amanyara. The sandy bottom declines gradually until the reef wall drops to 2,100m (6,888ft). A complimentary guided snorkeling trip departs daily from the beach.
Fishing
Providenciales and its neighboring islands and cays boast some of the finest fishing grounds in the Caribbean. Notable among potential catches are the elusive bonefish and the Atlantic blue marlin.
Turtle Tagging
The Amanyara Turtle Initiative helps safeguard the green and hawksbill turtle populations of the islands. Join expert naturalists to tag and release turtles in the wild.
Whale Watching
Between the months of February and April, migrating humpback whales can be spotted just offshore from Amanyara.
Watersports
Clear turquoise water and powder-white beaches make the Turks and Caicos a premier watersport destination. Amanyara offers a variety of equipment including Hobie Cats, boogie boards, SUPs and kayaks.
The Island
Half-day excursions explore places of interest such as the historic plantation ruins at Cheshire Hall, Caicos Conch Farm, rock carvings at Sapodilla Hill and the ‘Hole’, a mysterious sinkhole.
