Something to do in Freeport?

[JRock59]

In November we'll be in Freeport on the Conquest with 5 or 6 couples. Looking for suggestions of fun things to do. Yes we love the beach, we enjoy a drink or two. :) We'll be in Key West doing a lot of walking the day before and Nassua doing the Aquaventure the next day. So we're looking for low key, relaxed and simple. Any suggestions? THANK YOU! :D

SWIM WITH THE DOLPHINS?

Has anyone done any of these in freeport?

[pamouselover]

Bahamas Jeep Adventure

This looks like fun too?

Anyone?

[MrPete]

Jump in a cab, and head over to China Beach on Our Lucaya by the Sheraton.

 

Check out the Bahamas boards for some other suggestions. Just make sure you get AWAY from the ship's docking area.

Check out the port of call board for this port, where this post will eventually be moved. We are also looking for suggestions for this port.;)

We've done the dolphin encounter, but not the full swim. For reviews on the jeep tour, just do a search on the forum - there are many many posts on this excursion.

This site has some pretty good info I'll be sharing it with my Cruisemates but thought maybe others would like it too! http://portlucayamarketplace.com/lucaya/

Not trying to rebuke you for posting on the main board, I just knew the mods would move the post and wanted to be sure you could still find it.:)

When you get off the ship there is a "seamans" bar (yes that's the name..lol) at the port along with more and more shops.... get a few drinks, buy a t-shirt/trinket and wander back onboard for a relaxing day without everyone around you.

Capt. Tony and the Sandollar. GREAT snorkel and sail.

Great idea...

Just got back from Freeport 6/17/09 with Cpt Tony http://sanddollarcruise.com/ and loved it. We did it as a family of adults and we all enjoyed from weak swimmers to strong snorkelers. Everyone on the catamaran found a few sand dollars. Definitely a deal at $45 pp compared to others I have done.

I'm a huge fan of paradise cove for snorkelling. It's a secluded beach that you can snorkel off of.

Not the same as going offshore.

true but it is probably the best snorkelling right off shore that you will ever get and being off shore is better imo since you get to choose what you want to do

My husband and I are going to go on the Glass Bottom Boat in Freeport. I'll let you know how it is when we return. We sail in 20 days.

We did the GBB in March 08 in Freeport. It was very pretty but the seas were rockin! Also, a boat like 60 yards from us was chumming the waters for sharks so we saw a lot of Caribbean Reef Sharks. The only thing I didn't like was that our boat kept smashing into the coral reefs because the water was so rocking. I would have preferred to leave rather than destroy the reefs.

I was wondering how far and approximate cost to paradise cove from the port? Can you go there just to use the beach without a package?

[lupee13]

i'm sure you can, I would just email them and ask. It takes approx 20 to 30 minutes to get there.

We are going to be doing horse back rides on the beach

[sallyb]

Carnival doesn't list a horse back riding excursion for the Pride, are you doing this independently, or another cruise line/ ship? Freeport is a short stop.

We were in Freeport on July 2 and sailed with Captain Tony on Sand Dollar cruise. Terrific experience. A shuttle was waiting at the dock and drove us and a few other families to Port Lucaya. Fun time snorkeling and finding sand dollars. One of the highlights of our cruise!
