Getting There: Middle Caicos is located in the Eastern time zone, 575 miles southeast of Miami (less than a 90 minute flight), 90 miles north of the Dominican Republic, and a 10 to 15 minute charter flight from Provo. To get to Provo, there are direct flights from Miami, Charlotte NC, Boston, New York, Toronto and London. Also check on charters from your area.

English is the native language and the US dollar is the currency, making the Turks and Caicos Islands an easy destination. You will need a current passport.

Arrival: Go through Passport control. Keep the immigration paper you are given. Pick up bags and take them through customs. You have a reservation for your flight to Middle Caicos. Follow instructions given you by the SeaWings Villa managers. If you are going for groceries, a taxi driver will take you to the IGA, wait while you shop, and return you to the airport.

Transfer: You will be met at the Middle Caicos airport and transferred to SeaWings Villa.

Water: Water is a precious commodity in this island environment. The tap water, collected in a cistern, is safe to drink, but if you prefer you can buy drinking water by the gallon from Blue Horizon Resort. Please use the water you need, but we appreciate your using it conservatively.

Electricity: Also please help conserve energy by remembering to turn off lights and ceiling fans when you are out.

Food: There are no grocery stores (except for very basic items and snacks). There is one restaurant with a limited menu, and a few people who will cook local cuisine by reservation. All other food must be brought in. You can pre-arrange to have your groceries bought and in the villa when you arrive. Or you can bring groceries with you from Provo. There is a full-size refrigerator/freezer and plenty of cupboard space. Remember that food left out will attract ants. Keep opened food in the refrigerator or in the vacuum cannisters provided.

Maid Service: There is maid service available for an extra fee. Please arrange for this service when you check in.

Telephone: Telephone calls may be made with a credit card at the office of Blue Horizon Resort.

Tours and Rental Cars: Tours and fishing with local guides, and rental cars or taxis, can be arranged by Blue Horizon Resort.
