Step back to the 1800s and explore the oldest prison in the Turks & Caicos. Her Majesty's Prison dates from the days when sea salt production was king and smugglers island-hopped their illicit cargo to North America.
Grab your Quest map — a puzzle that you must solve to escape.
As you enter the almost 200-year-old cell block, the iron gates clang shut behind you. Wander through the cells, each telling the story of a former inmate from a different time. Examine the prisoner's personal effects, learn about Julius Cesar who plotted his daring escape, find clues, and solve the puzzle. Along the way, you're immersed in Grand Turk's fascinating heritage.
Enhance your experience with the Discover Grand Turk film — a visually stunning introduction to the island's rich culture, history, people and natural beauty. Enjoy a refreshing taste of the warden's prison ration, as the film sets the stage for you to continue exploring a place that time has forgotten.
Notes:
Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable/reef-safe sunscreen. Bring bottled water. Bring local currency or credit cards, as most vendors do not accept US dollars. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, cobblestones, inclines, gravel, grass, and steps.
