Typically, when do the thimble jellyfish come to Turks and Caicos?
 

Hey everyone,<BR><BR>We are ready to book our vacation to Providenciales, Turks and Caicos, for the second time! We can't wait.<BR><BR>Last year, we went in the third week of July. This year we are thinking of the last week of June or first week in July.<BR><BR>As far as the thimble jellyfish, do you think this is a safe time to go? I have read that they typically come in May. <BR><BR>I know nothing is for certain, but has anyone ever experiences these jellyfish in late June/early July?<BR><BR>Thanks for your help!

I have only been there in April, May, June and December. Of all the trips there I have only seen the thimbles once and that was in early June. We have been there several times in May and never had a problem.

We were there in mid-April and there were thimble jelly fish in the water two mornings. Then after a few hours, they mysteriously disappear. I think they most often appear in the spring.

I think that they are most apt to occur in May/June, typically in between Mother's Day and Father's Day.

We were there last week in April, first week of May and no sign, I had also read about them and had even considered a body suit to snorkel, am avid snorkeler. I snorkeled about three times a day, an hour+ each time and never saw them. We snorkeled several places around Provo and never a problem anywhere we went. I am so envious, Safe Travel.
