Tour Description

At the designated time, we'll meet at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale Port, where the ferry will be waiting to take you to on an adventure for an unforgettable day in the Caribbean.

After a 2-hour boat ride on a comfortable boat with toilets and a café, you'll arrive at the turquoise waters and white sand of the Bahamas, where you can spend a relaxing day in paradise. There, you'll have 5-7 hours of free time, without a guide, depending on the waiting time at customs before taking the ferry (sometimes the wait can be long).

During your free time, you'll be able to enjoy the paradisiacal landscapes of the Bahamas at your leisure, this archipelago in the Caribbean Sea has it all!

At the end of the day, we'll return by ferry to Port Everglades, arriving about 12 hours later.
