Peterson Cay National Park

This peaceful, tropical park is inhabited only by wildlife, although tourists from around the world visit daily. Peterson Cay National Park can only be reached by boat. Most visitors paddle out in two or three person kayaks. The water around the cay is filled with fire coral (look, but don't touch!), iridescent parrotfish, dolphins and other exotic sea creatures. Guests spend hours snorkeling in the crystalline waters. A picnic lunch is offered on the beach. This must-see Grand Bahama attraction is truly an unforgettable experience. Ask your hotel tour desk for pricing.

Garden of the Groves

Equal parts jungle, zoo and romantic hideaway, this 4.45-hectare (11-acre) property is home to some of Grand Bahamas' most exotic wildlife. Macaws, alligators and iguanas are just a few of the animals you'll see. At the petting zoo, kids or adults can acquaint themselves with pigs and pygmy goats. The thick vegetation of the forest area is a pleasing sight as one traverses the pathways running through the green land. Towering trees flank the trails, with a variety of flora and fauna bolstering the allure of the area. Fountains and gushing waterfalls form a picturesque backdrop, and blooming flowers adorn the vines and bushes. The romantic side of the garden can be found under a waterfall or in the shade of a tropical fruit tree. Quite a few couples have chosen to tie the knot here - or to re-pledge their troth.

Encompassing about 40 acres of land area, the Lucayan National Park has established itself as a popular hot-spot, with visitors constantly flocking to admire the allure of the lush forest area. The various trails and walkways lead to groves of pine trees, mangrove swamps and large caves. A gorgeous beach complete with picnic facilities offers guests plenty of space to relax after a long hike. Kayaking is a popular activity here.
