There is a lot to see and do on the island even if you don’t gamble, drink or play rugby. Freeport RFC traditionally takes great care of touring sides. Port Lucaya is a blast with lots of unique shops, dancing, limbo contests and plenty of other distractions set against a beautiful marina. Lucayan National Park has some awesome caves and the finest beach at low tide that I’ve ever seen. Just offshore, Peterson Cay has some great snorkeling as does Paradise Cove on Deadman’s Reef where one can rent all equipment. McLeans Town is a drive but a great time if a festival is on - also great bone fishing and a pig roast every other Sunday. Caribbean dining can be found just about anywhere but if you want a unique experience, head out to the Pier One Restaurant at Freeport Harbour - and watch them feed the sharks. The best Guinness - Shenanigan’s at Port Lucaya. And the best way to see it all is to rent a Bahamas Buggie. So if you’re even thinking about going, sign up and go - it’s a great time spent amoung very friendly people. Call Scotty today - 403-3399.

I can’t believe this is all that we have. This is an inexpensive and fun tour. Let’s go over to Freeport and defend our title, then booze it up
Bahaman style.
Redeyes,
The Bahama’s tour is awesome! Anyone who is on the fence should GO! The Freeport club has their own pitch/clubhouse with a bar and pool. You will
only miss 1 or 2 days of work. We still have spots for people who are interested.
