Sweetings Cay

Sweeting's Cay is about 4 miles off the east side of Grand Bahama Island and the perfect spot to spend the day. Guests will be transported from the city of freeport through several villages to McClean's Town where guests will board a boat and off to Sweeting’s Cay. On your way to the cay, you will be able to see the unspoiled beauty of the surrounding cays. You will be given a briefing on the dos and don’ts of the area. During the 60 minutes of kayaking you would be kayaking through the creaks and mangroves were you can observe star fish, fish, jelly fish, conch, sting rays, you may even see sharks, eagle rays, and turtles, but don't worry, if you don't get to see the turtles while kayaking you will be able to see the turtles at Turtle Park, our second stop on this adventure. You will be able to see the turtles in their natural environment, darting their heads to see who is visiting them. Some will come close enough for you to take pictures of them in the lake surrounded by mangroves.

Q: Do I need kayaking experience or will you teach me?
A:

No experience is necessary! Beginners are welcome on all of our kayak tours. Most of our guests have never been in a sea kayak before. Anyone in average physical condition may join a kayak tour. If you can hike or bike, you can paddle our sea kayaks. You do not need any swimming skills either.

The only prerequisite is a healthy spirit of curiosity and adventure.

Regardless of age or skill level you will find that our expeditions offer enough flexibility to make your experience with us safe and rewarding. We will show you proper sea kayaking technique and water safety before leaving the beach. And your expert guides will be with you throughout the adventure to give you pointers and improve your skills.

Your safety is Cool Bahamas’s number one concern. In general, sea kayaking is safer than most other outdoor pursuits, even bicycling.
