Your adventure begins with a pickup from your place of lodging, be it at a resort in the Freeport resort area or Freeport Harbour our Cruise Ship Port. Commentary will be provided while your guide drives to the adventurous destinations of the day.
Stop 1
Pelican Lake is your destination of water and aquatic trees known as Red Mangrove. This is a shallow body of water which is less than 4 feet deep the entire kayaking experience. See a number of species of birds within their given season. Kayak over hundreds of Mangrove Jellyfish that is often seen in one section of this shallow body of water and often feed on by Turtles. Your guide will stand in the water of this amazing ecosystem holding a Jellyfish in hand to share some wonderful information about this specie and show you how harmless they are. Kayak over beds of Sargassum weed that resemble an underwater forest. Here you may find some larger fish congregating, however, this type of ecosystem is a nursery for juvenile marine and avian animals.

Paradise Cove is our Snorkeling destination and a short drive from Pelican Lake. It is also the destination for lunch and offers a wonderful view of Sun Sand and Sea. Snorkel from a beautiful Sandy Beach and over a bed of marine seagrass known as Turtle Grass (Thalassia testudinum), Your destination is a line of massive rocks extending above the water to more than 20 feet, but down to more than 30 feet below the water's surface. Once there enjoy a reef teaming with fish life. This is probably the best place on Island to experience larger marine animals, like Spotted Eagle-rays and different species of Turtles. For experience snorkelers, it is a wonderful place to explore your free diving skills.
After an active first part of the day, you will be ready to enjoy a local dish from Paradise Cove's Beach grill. While you enjoy lunch take note of the view as their wooden deck faces an emerald coloured, Ginn clear and crystal blue Ocean.

Hearing the colourful history of how today's people came into being after the original people were taken away.

These holes are connected to the Island's Cave systems that runs for miles. Your experience is a beautiful destination in the Settlement of Eight Mile Rock, with a wonderful coastal view.

Grand Bahama 2 Tank Blue Hole Cave Dive Adventure Oct 19 2014
This was a special two (2) tank dive organized by Dan from the New England Aquarium Dive Club. Please note that the normal 2 tank dive does not include all the stops made in this video, other than the 2 diving destination listed in the video. As these are specialty dives each dive sells for $120/per dive. When it comes to marine blue holes such as these dives, we prefer single tank dive to allow for more exploration of the destination. However, they can be ran as a two (2) tank dive...please note special groups receive special rate.
Thanks Dan...
