We had an awesome trip with Biggie I think that was the name of the tour guide/bus driver. We booked the day before and everything went smoothly! We were picked up in the port before 10am. The tour-guide was very knowledgeable of all aspects of life in Bahamas. We drove to the Caves of Lucayan National Park, beautiful!!!, then from there walked 5 min to the Gold Rock Beach. Best beach I've ever been!!!! Spectacular! After about 1.5 hour, we drove to another smaller also very beautiful beach that had a nice restaurant. After an hour of more swimming we headed back and were back to the port on time by 3pm. Amazing day, highly recommend this tour.

A thoroughly enjoyable escape from our island getaway. We were picked up from our hotel, Viva Fortuna, in a large tour bus and during the 20-25 minute drive to our first stop at Lucayan National Park, our very knowledgable guide delighted us with historical information and anecdotes about the Bahamas. The the first stop brought us to the caves, filled with dozens if not hundreds of napping bats.The best had yet to come, however, as the next stop was Gold Rock Beach. This trip was worth the price alone, an amazingly beautiful location where we stayed for over an hour. Finally, we stopped for lunch at a cute little restaurant on the beach. The food was wonderful try the conch! and the view is equally impressive. I would highly recommend this trip if you're looking to get away from your hotel for a few hours to try something different.

Some of the truly most beautiful beaches in the world...

The National park is small and not much to see but Gold Rock beach is stunningly beautiful. It was definitely worth the trip. Our bus driver gave us a lot of historical information on the Bahamas and that was interesting too. Nice day!

Hotel pickup and drop off time is included in the tour time shown, so we didn't have much time at the beach. Our guide Trevor was good and the two beaches and park visited were worth the money.

I was picked up from the port from my cruise ship. My son and I spent 2 hours on the bus while it went around picking everyone else up. The caves were a disappointment. The tour guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. The small path to the two caves was rocky. I feared that the older tourists may hurt themselves on the paths. The beach was so worth the whole experience. The beach was about a quarter to half a mile hike from the road, but the beach was clean, the water was beautiful, and there were few people about so it was not crowded. We only had an hour to spend at the beach not enough time, but it made the cost and the rest of the tour tolerable. One thing that the tour company did that surprised and please me was that they sent a shuttle at our third location to pick my son and I up so we did not have to spend another 2 hours on the bus while dropping everyone off before us. Again the caves were a big disappointment, but everything else made up for them.

Trevor, our guide was really nice and made sure we were set on the right bus back to the port. The caves were interesting but I thought we could snorkel-not so. The beach is very primordial and open. We are at a nice restaurant bit no conch salad. The cracked conch was very good though.

Trevor was a great tour guide! He was so nice, courteous and funny. He was very knowledgeable about everything the tour and beach had to offer. We definitely saw and learned about many new things. And the Gold Rock Beach literally across the road from Lucayan National Park is absolutely breathtaking. It was a wonderful experience I highly recommend this tour, you wont be disappointed.

Wow! This is a MUST DO! Gold Rock beach is soon beautiful! Biggie was a wonderful, pleasant, knowledgeable, tour guide. If you don't do anything else take this tour. My resort was not offering this so it is a good thing i found it on Viator.

The trip takes you to the caves then you get to spend time on the beautiful Gold Rock Beach to swim or just relax. After the beach the guide takes you for 1 hour lunch then hop back on the bus and takes you back to the hotel. Very short trip to say we were picked up at 9.45am then dropped off by 2.30._br/_ The walk to the beach is a good walk so not for people who need assistance with walking. Drinks are available at the parking lot by the caves.

Driver didn and #39;t show up .we didn and #39;t have international phone to call so we walk to security gate and they try to call him but he never answer. Another driver from the same company pick us up and took us to him . bad experience in foreign country we felt for moment like a setup. Nice beaches.

I was very disappointed with this tour it was advertised going over a ship wreck and that that never happend I only booked this trip because of that.

Waste of time. No value. Tour is 3 hours 30 minutes - if you are lucky. Rent a car and see things yourself and actually spend time at these beautiful beaches.
Review by: cowboy booth, March 2016
I enjoyed this tour however, I thought we drove around a little too much to pick up folks. The caves were nice and self guided.The drivers were very safe and the beach they took us to was one of the most raw and beautiful I've ever seen. The driver did poll the passengers about two options. There were not enough waters to share. I was thankful the driver let me stop at a gas station that was friendly to go -an emergency.

The tour not worth the money spent . It is a very limited tour , bother in the path and the time spent by the guide to visit the park . a delusion. to see a couple of beaches could go it alone and by Taxi we would spent less.

Overall this was a fairly good tour - the beaches we saw were amazing the restaurant we were taken to for lunch excellent. However, the guide left much to be desired. There was not enough information provided while we were on the bus and it was a fair amount of time and at the end of the tour instead of returning us to our hotel he pulled into Port Lucaya and put us off the bus along with a couple who needed to get back to their ship pointing out that we could get a shuttle from there. That's not what we signed up and paid for. Also I had an issue with the description of the caves for the tour, I was very excited to see these and we signed up expecting to see the inside of the caves. - instead we saw what amounted to the foyer both caves are inaccessible on foot - you can only see the absolute entrance - beyond that there's nothing to see. Would I do it again? Probably not.

This was the most boring thing we did on Grand Bahama. When it says you'll visit the caves, that really means that you'll walk down 20 steps, look at the hole in the ground, then come back up, and repeat once more. The tour of the park took all of 20 minutes and only took that long because the other couple on the tour wanted 100 selfies from different angles. The caves are underwater, so you don't get to see much. The description also says you'll see fish. There is no reef so if you're lucky, you'll see minnows. The beach was beautiful and sandy. The driver was attentive and informative.

Great way to spend a vacation day. We were picked up at our resort by a driver who was both friendly and knowledgeable. He gave information about all of the areas we drove through and also gave lots history about the area. Wear comfortable shoes since Ben's Cave at the national park has lots of steps. Bring a beach towel because you're going to want to get in the water at Gold Rock Beach, a rather secluded beach with water color so pretty it's hard to describe. Walking to the beach is its own adventure. Most people walked out to the sand bar and played there and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. After leaving this beach, the tour stops at another beach with a restaurant for lunch. The food is OK and it's another chance to enjoy some beach time.
