About this experience

What sets my tour apart from the others is that I create my itineraries based on my clients interests and desires of what they would like to see and do. That is done with them communicating with me well in advance of their arrival in Grand Bahama.

I do my best to include as many stops as I can during the day trip giving them the most memorable time of their day.

I start off with the options of visiting both the Bahamian Brewery and the Bahamas Distilling Co. Then we continue to the Open Air Farmers Market where they try the best conch fritters on the island and do their souvenir shopping.

After that we tour the Port Lucaya Marketplace, Taino Beach, Smith's Point, Sanctuary Bay and Millionaire's Row. Then , Garden of the Groves (optional) before continuing to Lucayan National Park. I bake home made bread rolls, bake a dessert and make Bahama Mamas all included in their picnic lunch on Gold Rock Beach. We continue to tour High Rock, time permitting, after Lucayan National Park.

We have our Bahamian picnic lunch on the beach which consists of home made bread rolls, cold cuts - ham, turkey breast, salami and two types of sliced cheddar- yellow and white, lettuce, tomato, mayo and mustard. I bake a treat for dessert and the icing on the cake is my very own Bahama Mamas made with gold & coconut rums and local fresh fruit juices.

After beach time, we will then tour the two caves, Ben's Cave and Burial Mound , on the other side of the street. We will need at least 30 - 45mins. to walk the two caves.
