We'll pick you up at the meeting point and whisk you away by boat to the beautiful Bahamas. Once we arrive, you'll have about 5-6 hours to soak up the sun on the beach or dive into exciting optional activities (available at an extra cost). You can party all afternoon at a lively beach club with awesome DJs, go snorkeling, rent a jet ski, or grab a golf cart to explore the island at your own pace. Relax on the beach, check out the bars, beach clubs, pools, and restaurants, or try your luck at the nearby casinos. Our comfortable ferry has air conditioning, restrooms, and even a snack bar.
