Spend your Freeport shore excursion day swimming, snorkeling and simply enjoying the waters around Grand Bahama on this great snorkel and nature excursion from Freeport!
You will meet your friendly shore excursion guide at your cruise ship terminal and hop on board your air-conditioned, comfortable transportation. Enjoy the scenic ride as you head to the very East end of Grand Bahama Island. As you arrive at the pier, you will be introduced to your captain and snorkeling guide. They will provide safety instructions and also go over the do and don't while snorkeling.
The first part of your Freeport shore excursion will be snorkeling over the blue holes of Eastern Grand Bahama. These caverns are all connected beneath the earth, which causes them to have abundant marine life. As the tide rises and falls it appears that the blue holes are boiling; therefore got nicknamed "boiling holes" by locals. The waters near the reef are pretty shallow and in some areas, you are able to stand and watch down in the water and marvel at the beautiful marine life. You will see wildlife, like the black tip shark, spotted eagle rays, sting rays, starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and conch. If you are in luck, you might even see a wild spotted dolphin.
Up next on your Freeport excursion is the turtle park where you will be able to see the hawksbill turtle, loggerhead turtle, and maybe even the green turtle. See the turtles in their natural environment, darting their heads up and down to see who is visiting them. Some of the turtles will get close enough for you to see them and take pictures. Last up is a stop at Sweetings Cay for a light snack and refreshments. Please note that you are able to purchase food and drinks at the restaurant if you choose. This is at your own expense.
At the end of your Freeport snorkel and turtle shore excursion, your shore excursion guide will take you back to your Freeport Bahamas cruise ship terminal.
