Overview
Great Stirrup Cay is a beautiful private island in the Bahamas, exclusively owned and operated by Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL). Located in the Berry Islands chain, it offers a quintessential Caribbean beach experience designed specifically for cruise passengers. The island boasts pristine white sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and lush tropical vegetation, creating a perfect backdrop for relaxation and fun in the sun.
As a private island destination, Great Stirrup Cay is a dedicated cruise port for Norwegian Cruise Line ships only. Ships anchor offshore, and passengers are seamlessly tendered directly to the island's purpose-built facilities. The island features numerous amenities, including beach access, dining venues, bars, watersports rentals, and various recreational areas, all designed for a comfortable and enjoyable day ashore. A visit to Great Stirrup Cay offers NCL passengers a private, worry-free day of beach activities, watersports, and authentic Bahamian relaxation without the need for extensive travel or planning once on the island.
Race down 19 waterslides, leap from the Caribbean's first private island cliff jumps. With four zones designed for every type of traveler, Great Tides Waterpark is a full day of adventure on its own.
Tip: Plan a full day to enjoy all four zones.
Unwind on the expansive main beach, where you'll find plenty of lounge chairs, umbrellas, and powdery white sand. The calm shallow waters are ideal for swimming and wading. You can also enjoy powdery white sand.
Tip: Arrive early at Main Beach to secure a good spot before crowds gather.
Explore the lively underwater world by snorkeling in the designated coral gardens. Rental gear is available, allowing you to discover colorful fish and interesting coral formations just offshore. Visitors enjoy the designated coral gardens.
Tip: Look for the marked snorkel trails or join a guided snorkel tour for the best spots.
Participate in a variety of watersports available for rent, including kayaking, paddleboarding, and jet skis. Explore the calm bay at your own pace or experience an exhilarating ride. You can also enjoy jet skis.
Tip: Book watersports rentals early in the day, as popular options can fill up quickly.
Savor a delicious complimentary beachside buffet lunch featuring BBQ favorites, salads, fresh fruit, and other casual fare. Multiple dining stations are conveniently located around the island. You can also enjoy BBQ favorites.
Tip: Time your lunch outside of peak hours.
Take a walk to the pretty Lighthouse, offering elevated views of the island and surrounding waters. Nearby, Lighthouse Beach provides a quieter, more secluded stretch of sand away from the main activity areas.
Tip: This walk offers great photo opportunities and a chance to escape the busiest sections of the island.
Discover the natural beauty by walking along its nature trails. These paths wind through lush vegetation, offering glimpses of local flora and fauna and serene spots away from the beach.
Tip: Wear comfortable shoes and bring water for Island's Nature Trails.
