I didn't know what to expect but this was an amazing day. Donald was so delightful. He went out of his way to make sure we saw everything. Dianna was sweet and cook a great meal that we enjoyed overlooking the ocean. It is a casual, laid back day but full of interesting things to learn. I'd recommend this to anyone heading to Freeport.

Hida is a nice person working in a sometimes fluctuating situation. But please understand that while her vehicle seats six, two of those should be children or you will not be comfortable. The day we were with her seemed scattered and we got back to the ship as they were calling our names for the last time and getting ready to pull the gangway. I never thought I would be “that” group of people running to catch a ship.

We are so glad we choose CocoNutz Cruisers for our excursion in Freeport. Alfredo and his team went above & beyond to make sure we had a fantastic day. The bikes are in great condition, comfortable & easy to ride . After a safety check to make sure we were comfortable in operating the bikes we were off, enjoying several stops around the Freeport area . Beautiful Island, warm & genuine people , gorgeous white sand beaches with crystal blue waters . We loved our time in Freeport and especially our bike tour. Perfect way to see and enjoy Grand Bahama. If you’re looking for a fun day in Freeport we would definitely recommend spending it with CocoNutz Cruisers . Thanks Alfredo - we have many fond memories of our day with you and your team .

Charlie (taxi #256)picked us up at the Carnival terminal. It was just the 5 of us, so it was a private tour. Charlie catered to our kids who were totally interested in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies locals. He took us around and explained all about where and how they made the movie. It was cool. He was helpful and polite. You tell Charlie what you are looking for and he will accommodate you because he's a local. He was honest and def worked for his money with us. lol. Thanks Charlie for making the island memorable! We went in January.

How do you rate an excursion that never happened? We booked the transport and then called the number provided as well as a number that was on the voicemail. Then we called the number for the company which was listed on google. No answer for any of them. Well, actually the number from the voicemail was answered by a random person who had no clue what I was talking about. I want a refund. I basically gave $50 away for no reason. Ended up getting a taxi for $14 round trip.

I live in Freeport on Grand Bahama Island. I have been to Grum Ma's Cultural Center three (3) times with guests that stayed with us. I want to compliment the Cultural Center. Each time I learned more and more about the Bahamian Culture. The tour and discussion of the director of Grum Ma's house was informative and very entertaining. We enjoyed our tea and homemade Bahamian Desserts while learning about the Bahamas. It is an amazing island. The Bahamians are kind, generous and very hospitable. I highly recommend this tour and so do all of my guests.
