We booked this experience expecting to spend time a good amount at the caves and beach but in actuality we spent 10 mins at the caves and less than 10 at the beach.
Viator emailed me before the tour and I responded saying we were not too interested in shopping. First stop beer store, we didn’t get out. Second stop rum distillery which was cool. Third stop straw market where we felt strong armed into buying crap and food, we had just eaten before we got off the boat. Fourth stop another market full of the same crap. We did go in and see an art gallery that was good. The entire time the guide is saying how the island never recovered from hurricane Dorian, it felt like she was doing what she could to get us to spend more and more money at her friends or acquaintances vendor stalls. We spend over $800 for the tour and another $450 on junk. It was definitely high pressure sales stuff that you either have to be a complete jerk and ignore everybody or buy something small from everyone. We finally told the lady we were done shopping and wanted to see the caves and beach, this obviously made her upset because she started driving pretty erratic.
It was drizzling off and on all day but nothing that should have dampened our experience.
We finally got to the caves and beaches at 2:15pm, 35 minutes away from the ships harbor and all aboard time was 3pm. I told her I don’t think we have time she kept insisting we did. After walking really slowly to the caves and then speed walking to the beach we rushed back to the car to speed away. This is 3:10 when we leave the caves/beach, only then did she realize she messed up and needed to hurry. Her driving got even more crazy speeding past people she even once passed somebody on the left in someone’s front yard.
I phoned a buddy on the cruise ship to let them know we were late by quite a bit, luckily he was able to talk to guest relations and phoned down to the gangway to hold it for us. Just for an idea how fast she was going, we left at 3:10pm, we were 35 minutes away from the ships harbor according to my gps and we pulled in at 3:35pm.
If you want to go on a tour where you don’t get to do what you want this is the one for you.
Oh and she was 10 mins late for the pickup at the beginning. Just an overall mess of a tour.

We did so much w/Hida, she was great! It was a such a great personal experience for just my husband and I. Farmers market, fresh coconut, gorgeous beach all to ourselves across from the lucaya national park, fresh conch salad and fritters made for us on the spot. Pick up drop off on time.
Would highly recommend.
Response from Host, Apr 2023

We spent the day on Oct 19, 2022 with Hida on her East End tour of Grand Bahama Island. It was informative and we learned some interesting facts about the island. The east end is still recovering from their last hurricane experience; that being Dorian in 2019. We were surprised that many places on the island have yet to recover from hurricane Matthew in 2016.
Hida is a friendly and kind person. We enjoyed our time with her very much. She fixed/provided a full lunch and we were able to try some local foods which we she went out her way to provide and we enjoyed. We hope to return in the future and would most definitely tour with Hida again!

Heda is amazing!!! If you want to experience Bahamas like a local, she's your girl! Born and raised there, she is full of knowledge on the islands. It is a truly personal guide experience plus the best Bahamian pastries! Highly recommend her for your next Bahamas adventure!

Rdv directement à votre hôtel, Hida est une personne formidable, gentille, qui connaît l'île comme sa poche!
Visite le matin de la ville de freeport, prévoir monnaie pour achats, souvenirs cocktails, nous nous arrêtons pour les paysages, l'histoire de l'île mais aussi pour consommer.
Pique nique le midi sur une plage paradisiaque en même temps que la visite des grottes à pieds (pas de bateau comme décrit dans l'offre)
Puis visite high rock, plage, village qui a subit l'ouragan...
Plage du film pirates des caraïbes inaccessible depuis la tempête de 2019, dommage!
Journée riche, intéressante c'est, à mon goût, tellement important de voir l'envers du décor, de connaître les bahamiens qui sont des gens très gentils, toujours souriants, aidants et Hida fait parti de ses belles personnes de l'île !
Je la recommande !
Et merci pour la visite en français! Un plus ici car peu de personne parle notre langue.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Merci Morgane & Guillaume!!! J'apprecie votre avis sincere et je suis ravi que vous ayez de bons souvenirs de Grand Bahama.
Dans l'attente de votre prochaine visite,
Cordialement,
Hida
