Explore Grand Bahama

If you are taking one of Discovery Cruise Lines 2 or 3 day cruises from Fort Lauderdale to Grand Bahama there are many different activities that you can do during your stay. I personally like to get away from the main tourist areas and highly recommend the Native Hunting Tour. This tour is approximately 6 ½ hours in length and you will discover a totally different side to Grand Bahama. You will be picked up at your hotel and taken on a 45-minute scenic ride to the eastern end of the island, to McLean’s Town. Once you reach McLean’s Town a speedboat will be standing by to take you over shallow waters to a deserted cay, called Lightbourne’s Cay. Surrounded by three miles of powder white sand, you can relax, beachcombe for sea biscuits, sand dollars, conch shells and rainbow shells. Snorkel over the colorful reefs, or try your hand fishing like a native (hand-line fishing), then enjoy your catch for lunch, along with fresh fruits, salad hot dogs, and grilled coconut marshmallows. This tour is a little more expensive than most but it definitely worth every penny.
