Guests will be transported from the city of Freeport through several villages to McClean’s Town where guests will board a boat and off to Sweeting’s Cay. On your way to the cay, you will be able to see the unspoiled beauty of the surrounding cays. You will be given a briefing on the dos and don’ts of the area. During the 60 minutes of kayaking you would be kayaking through the creaks and mangroves were you can observe star fish, fish, jelly fish, conch, sting rays, you may even see sharks, eagle rays, and turtles, but don’t worry, if you don’t get to see the turtles while kayaking you will be able to see the turtles at Turtle Park, our second stop on this adventure. You will be able to see the turtles in their natural environment, darting their heads to see who is visiting them. Some will come close enough for you to take pictures of them in the lake surrounded by mangroves.

FUN - Exciting and very informative. Your trip begins and ends with a fun filled tour of the bahamas. Worth the ride to see some of the most remote areas of the bahamas

Loved it - We loved kayaking. Brice takes you to an area that is farther out from the cruise port and because of that you have your own private experience. We saw a ton of tropical fish, nurse shark, starfish, and a family of dolphins. We will be going back with them next time in Freeport.

Highly recommended - Good fun! Brice & Rico were wonderful. Brice was very informative about island knowledge/history. It was a cultural immersion with individual attention to our group. Kayak trip was in a beautiful area-saw starfish, conch, fish, stingrays, sharks in the distance and one turtle popped his head up. Lunch was good-sandwich, chips & water. They then took us to a spot to feed and see the turtles. Overall-highly recommend. Make sure to have extra cash for parking and tips!

Must do if in Grand Bahama wanting to experience the island and its nature - Best excursion experience we’ve ever had! I’ll start with we felt 100% safe the entire time, Brice picked us up at the port in a nice SUV and we drove for a bit learning a lot of history about the island and several of the other 700 islands. We then took a beautiful boat ride to an other island to feed the sea turtles (so many were there and came straight up to us). Then we went kayaking through the mangroves, we saw star fish, stingrays, reef sharks, barracudas, and a bunch of other fish. We then had a nice lunch with a billion dollar view. Brice and the cook (I’ll mess her name up badly if I try to spell it) were both fantastic and super friendly. If you’re heading to Grand Bahama looking for a unique experience that is both safe and away from the crowds then look no further. You won’t be disappointed!

Don't Miss This Excursion - This excursion was the best thing I did on my trip to the Bahamas. Bryce was great. He had a lot of good trivia and facts about the island. This trip was not your run of the mill excursion. If you don't want the same thing that everyone else is doing and want something different and exciting - book this one. I can't recommend this excursion enough.

Fun! Informative! Great for nature lovers! - Brice and his partner were great! Added perk was their cute dogs! Very informative on the drive there. Right on time for pickup and drop off. Someone in our party was worried about getting back on time and Brice was very accommodating and brought us back early. Kayaking was fun and not rushed. Turtle park was nice. Definitely recommend.

Excellent eco friendly adventure - The best Bahamas excursion we had! We were treated to a private slice of heaven on this very authentic Bahamas excursion. Brice, our guide, is extremely personable and shared his wealth of knowledge of the Bahamas on the 45 minute ride to a boat launch. (He has different-sized boats to accommodate different sized groups.). We enjoyed a quick ride to the kayak site which is a private slice of paradise on the edge of Sweetings Cay. The water is clear as gin, the sand like sugar, and you’ll see fish, conch shells, starfish and birds as you kayak up the creek through the mangroves. It was so peaceful and gorgeous. We took a refreshing swim and walked the private beach. We had a nice sandwich and water overlooking the water before we took a quick boat shuttle over to try to see some turtles. We did not see any on our day but it was okay; the kayaking and private beach was well worth the time and money. I get nervous on boats so Brice accommodated me by giving me a life jacket to wear. Pack your sunscreen and water/walking shoes and get ready for a great day.

Overall, we got to see... - Overall, we got to see many starfish and pick them up which was awesome. As well as we got to see a huge sting ray as well. However, we had a few disappointments. One, being that we were told if we don’t see turtles that they would take us to another area see them, and they never did that. Two, the guides obviously do this daily and are quick kayakers, and we have some experience but not a lot so they made it seem like it was an inconvenience to wait for us or they would point at something but by the time we caught up it was gone and they were much farther ahead. Third, we were about 50 min away from our resort and they left us at a dock in an unfamiliar place and told us that our ride was on the way. Then they just left us there, this was the first and only time that I truly felt uncomfortable in the Bahamas as a whole and on any tour off the resort that we participated in. In the end I do not recommend this tour and will not being doing this again when we come back to visit the Bahamas.

Safety horror show - What could have been a fun tour turned out to be dangerous and poorly thought out.
Although it was very windy and extremely rough water, the tour wasn’t canceled. Bryce’s sense of judgement for knowing the conditions was lacking. The water was so rough we couldn’t kayak to turtle park, and we had to shorten our kayaking. The boat ride to and from the launch site was a trip from hell. Never should have happened. I had to decide to grab life jackets for my wife and me….awful ride…the boat almost went over three times. And last, can you believe once we got back into the car, he said we owed him $10 more for parking. Parking?! He had picked us up and he parked his car in a gravely, rubbish strewn area, not a parking lot. Bryce put us in extreme danger and we didn’t get what we paid for.
