Creator's Key Takeaways
Get off the ship and turn right to the humpback whale.
This 12-ft high statue is great for Instagram shots, but also commemorates the fact that humpback whales migrate past Grand Turk every year.
Head forward for Splashdown, and this is an outside space-themed exhibition that tells the story of when astronaut John Glenn landed in the sea just off Grand Turk in 1962.
Now, this is a really fun area with a huge pool. There are free areas to sit. There are also cabanas that you can pay for.
