“No Worries”.

Weather may affect the tour for the day, but if you are flexible there are other choices.

Facilities and access will of course vary based on the tour you select. Some of our tours will spend
time in remote locations and we do pride ourselves showing you Grand Bahamas “off the beaten
path” on our nature based experiences. We have planned our activities to accommodate most
concerns. However, we recommend for all tours you attend to any needs initially before joining
the tour and discuss with your guide any additional concerns you may have at the beginning of the
tour in order to plan accordingly.

Tour fees are payable in cash which is collected during lunch. The Bahamian dollar is on par with
the American dollar. Please bring exact change.

holding and a list of other important information to make this experience easy for both you and
