There's something for everyone at the Bahamas. With a distinct mix of historic appeal, modern attractions and ecological wonders, your day visit is sure to be memorable.
Full of history and charm, Grand Bahama Island is a complete 'daycation' destination. From Miami, our state-of-the-art coach will pick you up at your hotel and transfer you to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale where you will board a 1463 passenger ferry for a 3 hr smooth ride to Freeport, Grand Bahama. After arrival you will have the day at leisure to enjoy the magic of the Grand Bahama Island from diving to golfing, the possibilities are endless.
Important Note: You must provide the following information at the time of booking: hotel location, traveler names, nationalities, passport numbers, dates of birth, and expiration date of passports. Your reservation cannot be guaranteed without these details.
the trip very windy but the island was very beatifull. Unfortunately we didnt swim not too hot but the overall experience was great!!

We had a fantastic day at the Bahamas! And you can to but there are some things you should realize. By booking this day trip you are really getting transport to and from your hotel in Miami to the port and the ferry ride from the port to the bahamas. The ferry ride is around $30 USD so if you can easily get yourself to the port then no point doing this day trip. However as a tourist it was easier for us to pay for the day trip and not have to worry about getting to the port and back. It does not include whatever you want to do in the Bahamas. Nor do the tour operators actually get in the boat with you. Once you get to the boat you are in the hands of the ferry company (who are very good but just worth knowing that you are not taken care of all day but the day tour people) The boat arrives at the port on grand Bahama and there is no beach here. You can pay $15 and get transport to a public beach near by if you want to do it the cheap way. Or you can splash out on an all inclusive resort pass (around $70 per person) that will include use of the resort including food and drink and a bus there and back. I would recommend doing this. You buy the passes to the resort or for the bus on board the boat and they will tell you the pros and cons of each option here.

Review by: Jouko V, February 2017
This was a very very disappointing excursion: The pick-up was at 5 am at Ocean Drive with an SUV without any business identification, and with a driver and a guide who spoke Arabic among themselves. I got in the car, but was seriously thinking about the fact that nobody knew where to look for me should things go seriously wrong. There were a number of serious problems throughout this cruise: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PEOPLE TO AVOID THIS !!!!!

The trip was amazing!_br/_ The only problem is that there is nothing to do in the Bahamas!!...its a lay back island. they only have nice beaches.
Review by: Diana L, June 2016
this trip was so good, they picked me up and dropped me off at my hotel in Miami Beach, the ferry trip was around 5 hours round trip. it was worth it, I loved it. when u get to Bahamas do not listen to the tour bus guy about to the access to the beach, he send you through a long hike, you better get through the hotel lobby. just look for the hotel entrance. which is right in front of the drop off, you stay in Bahamas around 4 hours. it all depends what you want to do. I pretty much stayed on the beach, bring your own towel for the beach chair. the drinks at the bar only take credit/debit card. the pool was not as blue as I expected to be, but who wants to be at pool if you have the blue beach there right? anyways for the experience of Bahamas. it was the best now that I know I can definitely spend more time there. have fun!

Do not make this trip. We booked The Bahamas day cruise and In Our voucher (under the and #34;included and #34; items was: day pass to Lucaya hotel and #34;). When we got there we were told they did not have that option and we had to pay an extra 20USD to get in the hotel.

Should not have to pay for wifi
Review by: Tania Barros, October 2015
I did not like the ride. we came to the island at 12:30. We left at 16:45. We were not six hours as promised. When we arrived at Lucaya Hotel, we had to rent towels, because it was not informed that the hotel does not provide. Hotel staff are very rude and treated us with indifference. Would not do the tour again and not recommend it to a friend.

Nice hotel, well organised, make sure you take your own beach towel or its 20 deposit for each towel
Review by: Zakiya C, August 2015
I relaxed on the cruise there and enjoyed the Bahamian food once I got there. Once I got to the Grand Lucayan I was amazed. The beach and pool was amazing! Food was great the drinks were great and the staff was funny and helpful. I will take this trip again!
Review by: Bmaddix, July 2015
Decent trip. Only had about 3 1/2 hours in the Bahamas...but it was enough time to:enjoy the beautiful beach, get some local food and do some souvenir shopping._br/_
There is a lot in close proximity of the hotel (restaurants, rum shops, souvenir shops, corner store etc) so just make the most of it.

Had a day trip to the Bahamas booked since April which was double the price it would have been to just book it here.Called the day before and was told pick up was 5:10, we sat outside the hotel from 5am- 7:15 and no one turned up.My boyfriend was going to propose there.. so ruined everything!!
Review by: georgie874, June 2015
I enjoyed the cruise but was disappointed with the amount of free time we got. The inclusions said 6 hours. It is more like 3/3 and a half which was definitely not enough. But all in all the resort and beach were beautiful.

Dont always trust other reviews , just do it if you want the experience . These excursions are what you make of them and we had a great time .
Review by: Edison S, February 2015

Review by: Vonessa R, February 2015
I had too many issues on this tour due to tour guides not knowing the right information or difficulty speaking English. If this tour operator is running any tours I plan to go on in the future I will not go.

If you want to feel like a tourist, please book this cruise.

Organization was good in general, however, there were minor delays of ferries.

It was nice but never again on Sunday because half of the shops were closed.

Long way from Miami to see a nice place not more than that.

It was very well organized

I would not recommend, very disappointing
Review by: louvre99, September 2014
Definitely worth doing. Viator team communicated very well prior to and confirming tour. Bus driver 20 mins late, but fine as often due to passengers not being ready. Lots of waiting for the ferry and processing, but beautiful on arrival. The access to the Hotel was ideal - note a towel was not included in cost of resort fees, so worth checking prior to the trip. We went to Agave for lunch - good food and at the right price. The maps and booklets on the ferry were worth picking up. Overall a great day
Review by: Caroline A, August 2014
Worst and most unorganized tour ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review by: Jersey, August 2014
The property itself, The Grand Lucayan Hotel was beautiful. The people in the Bahamas were friendly and helpful. Please be aware that when traveling internationally, you are subject to delays by customs agents. Our ferry was held for over one hour on departure and at the port in Freeport when we arrived. This significantly impacted the total amount of time that we were able to spend on the island. The crew of the ferry was not helpful and did not understand the importance of customer service, especially in light of the delays that we understood were not under their control. We purchased first class tickets with the hope that we would receive first class service. Unfortunately, this was not the case. We would not recommend this tour for anyone wishing to be in the Bahamas for one day. We would recommend the hotel and visiting Grand Bahama island and the Freeport area.
Review by: Kylie M, August 2014
Finally getting to Bahamas was good, however the boat ride took a long time but the worst of it was waiting in the gigantic line to go through Customs (both ways). It was so frustrating I would even say based on the amount of time just waiting around was not worth doing this trip.
