Overview

"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.

    Will meet you at the previously arranged and agreed upon point of pick up, with a handheld sign depicting your names, wearing my company uniform.

    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.

    Cool Bahamas wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Bahamas over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
