Freeport Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Paradise cove was a great pick. Not only was the place clean, the owners were polite and professional, the staff is even more amazing. They make you feel comfortable and welcome.I did the snorkeling package. It came with a chair, a drink, and snorkeling gear. I Highly recommend this establishment over any other establishment in the Bahamas for a good adventure.

Charlie was the best. Very knowledgeable, he made our experience worth it all.

Very wonderful experience! Charley went above and beyond with the time. Had a very good time with Charley very caring and nice. Very informative as well.

Charlie was a great tour guide. Showed us the best local places.

The driver was very accommodating. We told her what we had seen the day before and she took us to different laces

The East End Tour with Hida was fantastic. Hida stopped many times, from Freeport to the East End, to show/explain various sites.The terrain changes as you drive further east. You do see the effect the natural disasters have had on pockets of wooded area.The stop at the pristine beach for a swim in the Atlantic was so refreshing. 👍👍If you are looking for a coastal tour of Grand Bahama, I recommend Hida’s East Side Tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My birthday weekend on Grand Bahama was memorable and thoroughly delightful solely due to Hida! She provided a five-star tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Hida is an excellent tour guide. She knows every fact about Grand Bahama! She is an extremely personable person. The tour totally revolved around me. I asked Hida if I could go to mass, on Sunday, as a start to the tour. That certainly was not an issue!The conch fritter and conch salad demos were informative, fun, and delicious! (I also had conch chowder another day. 👍👍) I also enjoyed our visit to The Bahamian Brewery.The tour to the east of the island was peaceful. We had plenty of time to swim in the pristine (not cold!) Atlantic water.Enjoy Grand Bahama to the fullest by booking a tour (or two) with Hida!💙🇧🇸💛🇧🇸🖤

If you're visiting Grand Bahama, I highly recommend spending a few hours at Deadman’s Reef at Paradise Cove. We stayed at Viva Fortuna by Wyndham and took a taxi to the reef. We called Mr. Anthony Morrison at 242-646-5774, who provided our taxi service.One of the best ways to keep the cost reasonable is to bring your own mask, snorkel and fins. Paradise Cove allows guests to bring their own equipment and currently offers a discount for doing so.My wife and I spent about 5 hours there, from 10 AM to 3 PM. Taking a taxi instead of joining a tour meant we weren't rushed and could stay as long as we wanted. We snorkeled twice, with lunch in between, and had plenty of time to relax.The snorkeling was fantastic. We saw four sea turtles, including a baby turtle, puffer fish, octopuses, and lots of other marine life. The reef is accessible from the beach and is known for its abundance of tropical fish and sea turtles.There is also a restaurant/bar on site, so you can grab lunch and drinks between swims. The Red Bar serves food, beer and tropical drinks.Our biggest money-saving tip: skip the expensive tour if you don't need transportation and equipment included. Take a taxi, bring your own snorkeling gear, and pay for admission only. It was a very cost-effective way for us to enjoy Deadman’s Reef while spending most of the day there.If you like snorkeling and seeing marine life, Deadman’s Reef is well worth the trip! Call ahead for exact prices and cab fair

Excellent experience. Plenty to see and an excellent guide. Highly recommended.

Thank you Mikey for a wonderful experience!!! This was a great tour. Mikey knows everything there is to know about the island and was very helpful in taking pictures, helping us snorkel and finding the sea life for us to interact with. We had a group of all ages and everyone really enjoyed themselves. Make this excursion a part of your vacation

Hida is the most wonderful guide! She took us snorkeling and all over the weather end and Lucas’s. She is knowledgeable, kind and makes the entire experience wonderful :) We would book with her again in a heartbeat, it is absolutely worth the money!!

Wonderful private beach. Service was fantastic!!! And beach front was clean and well cared for. I loved it

SO GREAT!!!! Pick up was just a little confusing but beyond that it was an incredible experience, my favorite part of the whole trip!

Beach , food, drinks all outstanding. Only issue we had was locating transportation at port. No signage.

Our driver to the spot was so kind and was great!! The boat captain was so kind as well. Snorkeling was beautiful, we saw so many different fish and massive starfish! We saw two nurse sharks and huge manta rays. On our way to the turtle spot, we passed a huge mango tree and he and the other locals were so kind enough to let us harvest from this mango tree! We saw a few turtles and our boat ride back was amazing too. There was just a group of 4 of us, so it was super personal and off the beaten path to truly see the wildlife we wanted to see. What a great experience!!

My family and I had an amazing experience swimming with the pigs! They had every kind imaginable — big pigs, medium pigs, little pigs, baby pigs, black pigs, brown pigs, pink pigs, and even spotted pigs. You get to feed them apples while in the water, play with them along the shore, spend time with them near their pens, and even hold the baby pigs. They give you plenty of time to take pictures and videos, so you never feel rushed. The guides were fantastic — friendly, informative, and made the entire experience fun and comfortable. Their sense of humor definitely added to the experience too! One small tip: unless you have very tough feet, I’d highly recommend wearing swim shoes. The rocks in the shallow water feel like walking on Legos. The excursion is also connected to Cleveland's Beach Club, a beachfront bar and restaurant where you can relax afterward with drinks and delicious Bahamian cuisine. Overall, it was a memorable experience for the whole family, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the Bahamas.
