Nassau, Bahamas

Fun Things To Do:

• Enjoy an excursion from Nassau to the idyllic Blue Lagoon Island, where you can swim with dolphins, interact with sea lions and  
  stingrays, or even snorkel among native nurse sharks.

• Cable Beach is the perfect "beach break" day, a Caribbean haven for glimmering waters and postcard-worthy landscapes.

• Visit Aquaventure, a one-of-a-kind 141-acre waterscape, featuring thrilling high-speed water slides, a mile-long river ride and 20
  different swimming areas.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas

Fun Things To Do:

• The fine and soft sands of Half Moon Beach are the first thing you will see as your tender approaches the island.  Clean, beautiful
   and accommodating, some have called this beach the closest thing to an untouched Bahamas that you can find.

• Take a hike around the island on clearly marked dune paths to see the tropical palm and sea grape trees, curly-tailed lizards, and
   Bananaquit birds of Half Moon Cay.

• Tour the island on horseback to the highest point and enjoy the 360 degree views of the island.

Freeport, Bahamas

Freeport is the island capital of Grand Bahama, as well as a famous tourist center that offers everything from golf, great beaches, water sports, boating, diving and duty-free shopping.

Fun Things To Do:

• Take a tour of The Lucayan National Park, a prime combination of natural environments including pine forests, underground caves, coral reefs and the world-famous Gold Rock Beach.  
 

• Spend an action packed afternoon at Pirate's Cove Zip Line and Water Park, offering jet ski rides, para-sailing and banana boat
  rides, as well as opportunities for relaxation such as beach massages.
