Great snorkeling and sightseeing experience in Paradise Cove, Freeport.

Alberto_C, Jan 2024

Seen stingrays, turtles and colorful fish. Hida was a great guide and we ended up later on in an excellent local restaurant that otherwise I would have never found it. Great experience.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you Alberto for your much appreciated review of your day snorkeling/swimming with the turtles and touring the west side of Grand Bahama. I am delighted you have great memories of your two days spent with me experiencing the island of Grand Bahama. Big Hugs, Hida

Much more than a TURTLE SNORKLE

Good communication with the owner & specialized, extended post snorkel experience on Grand Bahama in a semi private format.

Private tour with Hida

Mark_M, Apr 2023

Unfortunately the weather was not ideal, Hida did a great job taking us for abbreviated turtle swim and a private tour of the island. The conch fritters were great but probably off the beaten trail that a large tour bus would have not pursued. My 2 daughters and I had a great day !!!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you Mark for your review and I am delighted you all had a memorable day exploring the island with me!!! Looking forward to seeing you all again on your next visit to Grand Bahama. Big Hugs, Hida

Fade and the turtle crew and tea for 2

Sherilyn_G, Sep 2021

We had a great Time swimming with the sea turtles! We saw lots of fish, coral, turtles and jelly fish. Bree was our snorkeling guide and she was great at making sure we saw as much as possible :) Hida was our guide for the day and she made sure we had everything we needed and stayed with our belongings while we explored. She showed us so much around the island. She loves and knows so much about her home island of the grand bahamas. She is such a warm and fun person to be around. Would definitely return. Our bush tea experience was very enlightening. We learned so much and laughed a lot. So glad we met Jamila and her mother Ethlyn. They are such a gem in their beautiful community.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Thank you Sherry & Shea for spending the day with me exploring the fascinating world of Snorkeling and Swimming with the Turtles and learning all about our Bahamian Bush Tea!!! Delighted to have met you both and welcome your return visit. Look forward to sharing the beauty of my island home of Grand Bahama with your Family, Friends and Associates; Big Hugs, Much Love, Hida
