Turks Head Brewery
One of the popular land activities for White Villas guests is to go on a tour of the Turks Head Brewery. During the tour, visitors learn about the brewery’s entire grain-to-bottle process and have the opportunity to taste flavors unique to the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Established in 2001, Turks Head Brewery was the first brewery on the islands and remains the only operational one to date.
Quad Bike or Buggy Safari
A quad bike tour can take you off the beaten path that is otherwise not accessible to other vehicles. The routes include local towns and the nearby clifftops and beaches.
Off-road dune buggy rides are a great fun activity. Just like quad bikes, these tours also allow you to explore amazing locations. Most of the tour in this case takes place on roads that are paved. So, you can expect smoother rides.
