"No Crowds, No Buses, No Time Schedule but Yours!"

My guests have their very own personal trilingual Bahamian island guide for the day with just themselves and myself to enjoy all of the

sites of interest in both Freeport and Lucaya.

They are afforded a tour of all of the major attractions of Freeport and Lucaya as well as participating in their private Bahamian cooking class. They will learn how to make our most popular native dish of conch fritters and eat what they have cooked. This is a great fun activity for the entire family. Family time always has cooking and eating in the mix and this Bahamian Conch Fritter Cooking Exp. provides just the right combination of both.

After having finished our cooking exp. we will then enjoy a beautiful private beach for as long as time remaining permits before we return to the ship or your hotel. You will be able to swim, walk the beach, collect shells, sunbathe or simply enjoy a tropical cocktail on a magnificent beach on Grand Bahama.

What To Expect

Firstly, we will tour all of the sites of Freeport, including the Open Air Farmer's Market and the Bahamian Brewery where we make seven different types of beer and two types of Radlers. We visit the local settlements to sample our local baked goodies and where you can find other unique arts and crafts. Our lunch will be the Bahamian cooking experience where you will learn all about how we make this favorite national dish and try your hand at dropping a few fritters yourselves. Conch fritters are the most popular native dish in the entire Bahamas!!! After our Bahamian Conch Fritter Experience we will tour the Port Lucaya Marketplace where you have the opportunity to visit the Bahamas Maritime Museum(optional) and do more shopping and sampling of other Bahamian made goodies especially our local flavors of chocolates. Before returning to the ship or your hotel, we do have beach time where you can try any of our tropical drinks such as a Bahama Mama while enjoying our crystal clear turquoise waters on a magnificent beach.

A fantastic way to get the lay of the island!

Hida was a fantastic host for a wonderful day where she showed us the Garden of the Groves (she was so knowledgeable about the history of this location!), several local spots for shopping and local food purchases such as the bakery (recommend the Coconut Tart and their fresh bread rolls!), local farmers market, the brewery, and the market where we learned from Brenda how to make our own conch fritters! The day ended at a beautiful beach with great food. I highly recommend this tour as the host is a local, knew SOOOO much history about the Bahamas and tailors your experience to you and your family/frienda. We loved it!
Great experience learning the culture and tasting amazing fresh food.

Hida. Thank you very much for the best day touring the Island. Word of advise. Book Hida but if you have a rental car book her tour in the first day or two of arriving to the Island. That will end up being the best choice as you then have the freedom of exploring what she shows you for the rest of the trip. Wonderful lady, thanks again, Heather and Mike
Best experience ever

The service was amazing! Hida was so insightful, informative, patient, and loving. She included all of our wants and needs into the tour. She also gave us a feeling of belonging and safety. Each stop took as long as we wanted it too and we were able to add or subtract events during the trip. I would give her the highest rating possible! Excellent trip! She was amazing

Wonderful food, history and wildlife. The beaches are beautiful! It’s good to do this trip early on your vacation so Hida can educate you on where to go and what to see. :)
