Half Moon Cay

Being rated the “Best Private Island” four years in a row by a prestigious cruise magazine obviously says something about Half Moon Cay’s credentials. This 2,400-acre property lies between Cat Island and Eleuthera and is one of the many Caribbean islands that make up the Out Islands of Bahamas. It proudly is an international bird sanctuary whose large proportion is kept pristine; only 2% of the island is developed. It is owned by Holland American Line, which uses it as private retreat for passengers on the line’s Caribbean itineraries. Holland America being a Carnival Corp subsidiary makes the island open to Carnival Cruise Line ships as well.

3. Go Snorkeling

Snorkeling is perhaps one of the first things to do in Half Moon Cay when you think of the sunny, warm beaches in the Bahamas. The waters at Half Moon Cay are ideal for a day of swimming and observing sea life, just as you’d imagine. You may rent snorkeling equipment at a cabin off the shore or carry your own.

4. Take a Jet Ski Ride

You may cruise around the saltwater lagoon in an Aqua Trax. Some areas of the lagoon are off-limits due to coral and rock formations. Remember to carry your driver’s license if you want to ride the Aqua Trax.

5. Eco Lagoon Cruise

If you don’t feel like kayaking across Bone Fish Lagoon, you may join a guided boat that will take you through Half Moon Cay’s history, ecology, and scenic wonders, dating back to the earliest adventurers. You may ride a glass-bottom boat to catch a glimpse of what’s under the lagoon’s surface.
