East End Grand Bahama Private Day Tour: Wild Beaches & History

Venture where the tourist trail ends — a private full-day exploration of Grand Bahama's wild, untouched East End: deserted beaches, bonefishing flats, historic lighthouse ruins, and the island's most breathtaking hidden coves.

What to expect

Your expert local guide collects you from the port in a private vehicle and heads east, where the island's developed veneer falls away entirely. You'll discover the ruins of the original McLean's Town settlement, wade through mirror-calm creeks teeming with bonefish, and stake out completely private stretches of powder-white beach with water in impossible shades of turquoise. A proper Bahamian picnic lunch — fresh conch salad, johnnycakes, and guava duff — is laid out on the sand. On the return, the guide shares the island's deep-sea fishing heritage and points out resident osprey and herons along the creek banks.
