Glide across Grand Bahama's turquoise waters with an uninterrupted view of the marine life below. The hull is clear, built to let you watch marine life and the seabed pass beneath you as you paddle, which turns a guided water excursion into something closer to a window seat on the ocean floor. Your route takes you just off the coast near Rainbow Reef, with a guide sharing the island's history and ecology along the way. Pirate's Cove Beach follows, where the afternoon opens into chairs, umbrellas, soft sand, and the kind of easy Caribbean afternoon that tends to be its own reward.
