Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach

Duty-free shopping or carefree exploring – take your pick.

Grand Bahama Island is more than just an island paradise: it's also overflowing with fascinating and fun things to do. Just let your own unique style be your guide. It's impossible to make a wrong choice because it's all about what you like. Scuba diving and snorkeling are awe-inspiring here, so please take some time to explore things under the surface. Or for those who find the notion of swimming with the dolphins pure bliss – of course, we'll help make that happen for you. The Garden of the Groves with its spectacular native birds and charming waterfalls is a must see. Those with a taste for thrills can go deep-sea fishing for blue marlin, wahoo, kingfish, and more. Or simply take a romantic ride along the beach on horseback. Duty-free shopping is just one more way to enjoy the comforts of dry land.
