Deep Dive into the Ocean
It would be quite silly to be in Providenciales and not take a look at what the ocean holds. With pristine water, Providenciales already gives you a peek into its treasure, but scuba diving and snorkeling will show you its diverse marine life.
Horseback Riding on the Beach
If you’re traveling with your significant other (SO) and would like to give them an experience they’ll always remember, go horseback riding on the beach.
