    Winter in the Turks and Caicos is a very different season than the one you are about to experience. Come on down to experience our version of ‘cold’ in paradise. That translates to bathing suit and barefoot temperatures, pretty much every single day. Think beach time, gentle tradewinds and endless, soothing sunshine.

    The winter issue of the most popular, informative visitors’ guide for Providenciales features all the activities and sports you can enjoy during your stay. Something you don’t want to miss is the majestic passing of the humpback whales which frequent our waters in the late winter. They are awesome in the photographs of this issue, and simply mind-blowing in person. Another popular and versatile pastime is Stand-Up Paddling. It’s a terrific way to view the myriad shallow waterways through the mangroves, where baby fish, sharks and rays hide out.

    If you’d like to pay your respects to JoJo, charter a boat that frequents the north shore of Providenciales and the Caicos Cays. If you’re lucky, this grand old man or his offspring may leap from the ocean waves to check you out. It’s a touch of magic you will never forget.

    Sailing, parasailing, kiteboarding, tubing, water skiing, snorkelling and SNUBA are all options to choose from. For those who are really serious about exploring, there are several excellent SCUBA companies to take you into the amazing world beneath the surface. And for those who choose to stay dry, the semi-submersible will tour the reefs and you will probably be visited by a real mermaid.

    In this issue we include a fold-out map of North and Middle Caicos, to guide you across those two islands, which are so very different from Providenciales. Hop on the ferry and explore their beaches and native restaurants and cafés. You can make it a day trip or stay a few nights, to truly experience them.

    Don’t forget you are on vacation. Indulge in a spa experience, dine out often, and buy that special piece of art or jewellery that catches your eye. Welcome to the Turks and Caicos Islands. Indulge, relax and enjoy.

    Pick up your copy of Where When How’s November/December/January/February issue at your resort, restaurant, fine shops and at the Graceway food stores. (It’s got JOJO and “Things to Do” on the cover, so you can’t miss it!)

    The calendar says you should be bracing yourself for the snow and hail as you make your way to work, but you were smart. You got your butt out of dodge and flew to the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) instead. Well done.

    The TCI is blissfully warm from morning to night no matter what day it is on the calendar. Now the only thing you need to brace yourself for is the fun you’ll have while you’re here.

    This Things to Do issue of the most useful visitors’ guide in the TCI is filled with (you guessed it!) things to do. We’ve packed, where, when and how to do all or nearly nothing, into one go-to guide.

    Be sure to check out our cover story – it’s packed tighter than that suitcase of yours with invaluable info and useful tips. The Things to Do cover story lays out a cornucopia of activities, so you’re bound to find a few to suit your current energy level and mood.

    And since this whole issue is about things to do, we take you on two excursions. A kiteboarding lesson with Turks and Caicos Kiteboarding shows us first-hand why a multitude of ages and people with all different kinds of preferences have realised kiteboarding offers quite the scope of adrenaline highs. Then we try a sport that’s a combination of SCUBA diving and snorkelling – snuba diving. What makes it special? Snuba doesn’t require certification yet allows you to go pretty darn deep to see all the beautiful ocean creatures just off Grace Bay Beach or out by West Caicos.

    What else? We’ve also included a detailed fold-out visitors’ map of North and Middle Caicos, to help you navigate the islands.

    For our Meet the Artist feature, we introduce you to a former leader in the Jamaican shipping industry who now spends his days painting whimsical, notably distinctive pieces.

    May and June are the perfect time of year to visit the Islands. The temperatures feel like those two, short weeks you call "summer" back home.

    And road trips back home are always fun – if not, eventful. A road trip here in the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI)? We may be a tad biased, but we think it'll rival anything the iconic Pacific Coast Highway has to offer.

Thankfully, winter in the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) doesn’t evoke the desire to become a recluse and find yourself in the same sweatpants for three straight days.

In this issue, we focus on all the different watersports and land excursions you could enjoy during your stay in paradise.

    One of the main attractions at this time of year is the annual northward migration of the majestic humpback whales. The TCI is one of the handful of places in the world where you can enjoy a soft in-water experience with these mammoth marine mammals. Salt Cay, our featured island in this issue, is perhaps one of the best islands from which to enjoy this once in a lifetime experience. However, Providenciales and Grand Turk also enjoy many sightings and encounters each season. The north shoreline of North and Middle Caicos is also great whale watching site.

    Plan your meals too. Providenciales has so many great restaurants, it’s hard to choose. Our food and beverage writer, Mandy Rostance-Wolf takes you to Seven and the ‘new old’ Tiki Hut in this issue. You will also find your favourite columns – native birds, indigenous plants, Sky Watch, and more.

  73. Where When How - October 1994 - First Issue

    Read our October 1994 issue of Where When How - Turks & Caicos Islands magazine!

    When "Where When How" first published in October of 1994 many facts of life were very different on the island of Providenciales. Our area code was 809, phones had 5 digit numbers but local communication was often via VHF boat radios. There was no internet, no wifi, no websites. Most roads were unpaved. PanAm flights arrived just 3 days a week. There was no central source of Tourism information, just lots of rack cards and flyers. The birth of "Where When How" was intended to provide a comprehensive reference with complete information (updated often) including everything the visitor needs to make a memorable vacation in a single magazine.

    Resorts on the island included: Club Med Turkoise, Erebus Inn, Grace Bay Club, Island Princess, Le Deck (Sibonne), Ocean Club, Ramada Turquoise Reef Resort, Turtle Cove Inn. Transportation included: Scooter Bobs, Tropical Auto Rentals and taxis. Restaurants on the island included: Alfred's Place, Anacaona, Bachus (Bella Luna), Caicos Cafe, Coco Bistro, Dora's, Fast Eddie's, Gilley's, Hey Jose, Jimmy's Dinner House, Pub on the Bay, Smokey's, Tiki Hut and Top O'the Cove Deli. Many restaurants had slot machines. Things to Do consisted of: Port Royale Casino, J & B Tours, Sakitumi Fishing, Dive Provo, Provo Turtle Divers, Flamingo Divers, Provo Golf Club and shopping at Paradise Arts and Bamboo Art Gallery.

    Starting out with a 36 page booklet printed on blue paper, we have come a long way. A heartfelt THANK YOU goes out to the 50 advertisers who took a leap of faith and advertised with us in 1994, some 13 of whom are still advertising with us in 2014 - TWENTY YEARS LATER.
