Itinerary
TCI Junkanoo Museum
The origin of the word Junkanoo is obscure. Some say it comes from the French “L’inconnu” (meaning the unknown), in reference to the mask worn by paraders; or “junk enow”, the Scottish settlers’ reference to the parades, meaning “junk enough”; or “John Canoe”, the name of an African tribal chief who demanded the right to celebrate with his people even after being brought to the West Indies in slavery. Here in the Turks and Caicos Islands, Junkanoo has been a celebration of the salt harvest trade which occurred during the trading of the salt. When merchant ships would bring goods to trade for the harvested salt, it was celebrated by the Islanders through the beating of drums, pots and pans, the scraping of saws, scrub boards, shaking of maracas, cow bells and the blowing of conch horns and whistles.

Reviews
Did the clear boat tour. It was phenomenal! Could not ask for a better time. The guys seemed to enjoy sharing the history of the islands, all the sea life and answering questions. Photographer as well. On the boat no shoes are allowed so get that pedicure prior. Another tip since you do a photo shoot look nice and it will be worth it. Drinks are provided onboard as well. Picture packages are available for purchase after the boat ride. Have fun!
The tour was awesome! The tour guides was very pleasant and great conversation about the island. I wasn’t expecting a photo shoot but it was amazing and the gentleman knew exactly how to pose you. Made my morning!
The guys at Turtle Cove were off for the day They literally turned around and took us out on the 3PM outing. They are fun, they are funny, they know tons of stuff and the ride was safe and enjoyable all along. The Boat itself totally is the attraction, crystal clear view all the way down the bottom of the coral reefs. This is a unique ride and we saw a lot of amazing species down there. It’s a must when you think of an outing at sea.
