Bahamas Jeep Safari Tour
For an alternative to the norm, Jeep safari tours offer the ability to view some of the lesser seen areas of the island. Take a guided tour in a Jeep convoy that’s led by an experienced island guide who can show you some of the scenic areas along the coastal trails of the island. Many safari tours also feature special stops along the way at some of the areas most relaxing or primitive spots. We recommend the Bahamas Jeep Safari Tour by Grand Bahama Nature Tours on Grand Bahama Island. The experience takes about five and a half hours, and includes an off-road segment, a ride across the Grand Lucayan Waterway and some shopping in the Bahamian Arts and Crafts Village. Bring your swimsuit for this adventure, as there’s also time to hop in the ocean at Junkanoo Beach Club.
