Fun place to spend an evening. Casual dining under the stars. Many evenings have a theme - karaoke, salsa, etc. Food is good and the price for the cracked conch is probably the best on the island!

Step back in time to what the island looked like when the Lucayans called The Bahamas home. While a self-guided tour is an option, I highly recommend spending the additional $15/person for a guided tour. The guides are so knowledgeable about the plants, people, history and geography of the island.
