Family activities in Grand Turk

[Kingisacruiser]

I am sailing on the Carnival Miracle in July with DH and 4 children. The ages of the children are 12,4,3 and 1. Based on the shore excursions offered in Grand Turk by the cruise line, there does not seem to be any activities that the whole family can participate in together. Any ideas on family activities that all of the kids can do and will enjoy despite the age gap between the oldest and the three youngest.

 

Thanks!

There won't be too many things that will interest a 1 and 3 year old in the 1st place! I'm betting the 12 year old would like something "active" and exciting...that won't work for the baby....

Resign your self that this won't be a "one size fits all" sort of trip!

You could go to a beach, the baby can do whatever babies do, and mom or dad could take the older kids on waverunners, or banana boats....

What about a beach day where maybe the older kids could snorkel, and the little ones could just play on the beach? Or, as Cb said, maybe rent waverunners or something like that. Good luck! No matter what, I'm sure your family will have an awesome time!

We did a beach day. There is a beach right next to the ship and when you are tired of it you can go to the swimming pool at Margaretaville which is right behind the beach. My kids enjoy beach days and had a blast there.

Yeah, I guess we will have a beach day and let the 12 year old and possibly the 4 year old do some type of water activity. I don't know why I'm fretting. I think the we will all be happy either wasy cause we are on a cruise :D.

While in Grand Turk, we always take a walk AWAY from the dock, on the other side of the pier. That's where you will find a really deserted beach, and tons of conch shells. We refer to it as The Conch Graveyard.

 

What kids doesn't enjoy finding shells--especially the super-huge conch variety?
