TMW67 Posted March 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Is there a map with a DIY bike tour of the island? If not, is the lighthouse easy to get to from the pier on bike? I like taking pictures, so am looking for scenic areas to photograph while there. Any suggestions would be great also, it will be my first time there. Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted March 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2015 There are maps on the cruiseport site. One for the island, one for downtown Cockburntown. These are all you need. http://www.grandturkcc.com/Island-Information.aspx It's about 6 miles from the cruiseport to the lighthouse. Once past downtown and the airport, traffic is very light--mostly taxis heading to the lighthouse. There are a couple of rolling hills, but nothing steep.

Rare crewsweeper Posted March 29, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2015 There's a bicycle rental shop in the cruise port center. Also Tony's, who rents golf carts and cars and motorcycles/scooter has bicycles. If you take a taxi to downtown. Grand Turk Diving on James Street rents bikes and will also give you maps and snorkeling equipment, if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tb4100 Posted July 31, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) We hired cycles at the port in 2013 we just turned up plenty there. There was one hire shop on the entrance just inside the port entrance and one just on the outside we hired from Omar just outside for $15 each,and very helpful he was too gave directions and a map. We started our cycle straight down the main road but a tip for you cycle down the road until you see a small lake on the right and a (small)prison on the left and then turn left when you see the sign for the prison and you can continue your ride with beautiful sea views. People were very helpful and friendly HTH Edited July 31, 2015 by tb4100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
