The Bahamas is the most visited set of islands in the entire Caribbean, and if you find yourself dropping anchor for a few hours, it’s definitely worth jumping ship and getting a feel for the place. Many who come here for the first time make it a point to come back when they’re not cruising the high seas with three thousand other people! There is no doubt that Grand Bahamas is an island full of adventure, mysticism, and rich culture, and if you want to experience any of that, you have to do more than just wander the markets that hug the ship’s port. Book yourself on some Freeport Bahamas Excursions and you’ll soon realize why it’s one of the hottest destinations in the Caribbean.
Family Friendly Freeport Bahamas Excursions
Got the family tagging along? The Bahamas has long been a destination favorite for families with children of all ages. It’s safe, it’s fun and there is a bucket load of Freeport Bahamas excursions that cater to the kiddies. Is there any better way to be introduced to the Caribbean than to be nuzzled by a playful dolphin? The UNEXSO Dolphin Close Encounter excursion is definitely not something you’re going to explore by milling around the cruise ship dock! This two hour long excursion gives you plenty of time to get to and from the ship, and is guaranteed to create some of the most wonderful memories for you and your family to share. A picturesque ferry ride takes guests from the UNEXSO compound in Port Lucaya to the to the saltwater lagoon that houses these playful sea mammals. After careful instruction, and lot’s of observation, guests are then invited to wade in, waist deep, and watch as dolphins swim right up to you for a belly scratch, kiss and a splash!
Be an Archaeologist for the Day
Fancy yourself a little adventure? The Lucayan National Park and Cave Tour takes you on an archaeological journey through the heart of what once was the land of the Arawak, the indigenous people’s that existed here long before the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492. Wander deep into the caves where archaeologists have discovered magnificent stalagmites, and important Lucayan artifacts, including ritual items from ancient burial sites. The cave system here is actually one of the largest and most extensive cave systems in the world. This is one the most interesting Freeport Bahamas excursions, and something that you can’t see anywhere else on the planet.
Private Beach Party Excursion
Sometimes, cruising can get the better of us. Sure, we may be on a spectacular ship, with more amenities than we could possible know what to do with, but there’s also the crowds to contend with, and sometimes you just want to have some fun that doesn’t involve everyone else on board. If that’s the case, check out the Deserted Island Cruise and Beach Party tour. This is one of the Freeport Bahamas excursions where the numbers are limited, and you have the opportunity to experience the island in a more intimate setting. Climb aboard the Sunshine, a 45 foot catamaran, and prepare to be whisked away to the pristine island of Peterson Cay. The island’s unique locale off the coast of Grand Bahamas offers up some of the best snorkeling in the Caribbean, and it’s all for you! Crystalline views, bathwater warm seas and a dizzying array of tropical species await your exploration. And once you’re good and hungry, a sumptuous lunch is served on shore accompanied by rum punch cocktails. Once you’re sated, lay out in the sun, and soak in the tranquility. It’s the perfect way to end the day before you head back on board your cruise. And if you've only just had your Grand Bahamas palate whetted, check out any number of Freeport Bahamas excursions on offer!
