If you have visited the Grand Bahama Island and feel like there is nothing left to see, we now offer day trip shore excursions to Sweeting's Cay, about 4 miles off the east end of Grand Bahama Island. Here, guests are able to spend the day kayaking at Turtle Park.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
The trip was fun! Seeing the sea turtles was awesome, but visitors would need to remember that this is their habitat and they will come out and be seen if they want to. I would recommend bringing some bread to break pieces off to feed them. The kayaking was great. We had a few equipment issues, but Brice knew what to do and we overcame them pretty easily. After seeing the starfish, some stingrays, and the conch farms they have nearby, they fed us lunch and took us back. Overall it was a great experience in the remote parts of the island that I would recommend to anyone visiting. It is also not overly time consuming and you'll have more time in the day to do other things. If you can, I would recommend driving yourself because there is lots to see on the way out to the East End and back. Thank you Brice and your co-host (did not remember her name, but she was very nice). Enjoyed the adventure and the conversation! We're hoping good fortune shines on you, your business, and your island as the natural setbacks (Hurricane Dorian and COVID) subside!
Started the excursion with visiting a sea turtle park where the guide fed the sea turtles and over 20 came out to see us! They looked like a painting they were so beautiful in the clear tropical water. Next we kayaked in the clear water spotting rays, star fish, and many other beautiful wildlife. Worth every penny. Hands down best excursion in Freeport. No one else we talked to enjoyed what they did on the island. High recommend this. We were only in port 5 hours, but they made every minute count while getting up back with plenty of time to shop!
So worth the money!! We ported in Freeport through carnival cruise line. Bryce picked us up and dropped us off right on time. It’s about a 45min drive to location, then maybe 10-15min boat ride to turtles. The area is just beautiful and Bryce is very friendly and helpful. This was the peak of our whole cruise and I would recommend this adventure to anyone visiting the area!
This was an amazing trip and worth every penny. We stopped in Freeport as part of a Royal Caribbean cruise but booked this independently through TripAdvisor. Bryce was an excellent communicator and picked us up and dropped us off right at the port and our ship. It’s a long drive and a quick boat ride to sweetings cay but Bryce kept things interesting as our tour guide and shared fun facts all about the island and the destruction from Dorian that took place. We also loved how off the beaten path this adventure was. While kayaking we saw sharks, rays, fish and tons of colorful star fish. We even found a few conch shells. We were also fed a delicious lunch before heading to the turtle park. The area is incredibly beautiful. My only criticism, and it’s a small one is that Bryce seemed to really rush things along and was in a constant hurry. We would have loved some beach time after lunch. Never the less, I would definitely recommend this adventure to anyone visiting Freeport.
Brice gave us a detailed tour on the van ride to the boat. The drive was longer than we expected and the van was very hot. The boat ride was bumpy, but fine and the group was small with about 8 passengers. The snorkeling was awesome, we saw lots of starfish, sea biscuits, fish and a sting ray. He took us to two spots and we didn’t have to exert much energy due to the current which would take us around as Brice followed us in his boat. The lunch was good and beach house was nice, but the beach time was short. I would recommend this excursion, but just be aware of the long drive and boat ride may not be for everyone. If you have young kids bring your own snorkeling equipment and life jackets. My kids ages 4 and 10 both enjoyed the trip and the snorkeling.
Brice was a great guide! It’s a little bit of a drive from the Freeport area (about an hour), but worth it. The kayaking was great and we were able to see some sea turtles at the sanctuary in their own habitat. Lunch was good and I enjoyed it for me, but I would suggest providing options/choices for meat/condiments on the sandwich.
