Freeport Blue Hole Snorkel and Beach with Lunch

Begin your day with a scenic drive of approximately one hour from the port to the eastern end of Grand Bahama. The route offers open coastal views and a look at everyday island life as you pass through small local communities. Your guide will share some background about the island during the drive, setting a relaxed and easy pace to start the day.

Your destination is McLean's Town, a small and remote fishing village located on the eastern tip of the island. This is a genuine working community, simple and welcoming, and it provides close access to the Blue Hole and nearby reef.

From McLean's Town, you will board your boat and head to the Blue Hole for a drift snorkel. In this experience, the natural current gently carries you along the coral reef. The reef in this area rises closer to the surface, which allows you to see coral formations and reef fish from a very close viewpoint. Your guide will explain how to float comfortably and let the current move you. It is important to avoid swimming against the current, as drifting with the water is what makes this snorkel smooth, relaxed, and enjoyable. All snorkeling equipment and life vests are provided.

The reef is a natural habitat, so marine life sightings vary from day to day. Because the ocean changes naturally, every snorkel experience is a little different, which is part of what makes drifting above the reef unique and memorable.

After snorkeling, the day continues at a quiet, uncrowded beach. You will have time to relax, swim, or simply enjoy the shoreline. A complimentary lunch and bottled water are included.

When your beach break comes to an end, you will return by boat and then enjoy the scenic drive back to the port. This excursion offers a comfortable balance of cultural insight, reef exploration, and peaceful beach time, while giving you a natural way to experience the beauty and character of Grand Bahama.

Please Note: The local representative requires a boat fee of $25 US per person, payable to the boat's captain on the day of the tour. Payment is accepted in cash or by Venmo or Zelle. This fee is not included in the tour price.
