    Great place to view the island and appreciate the culture and spiriual place of the hermitage. Steep climb but there is another longer route that can be used

    We purposefully went to Alnor’s Bakery this morning to purchase bread. If you’ve not enjoyed coconut Bahamian bread, you are missing out! Lorena was there baking and visited with us while my husband gobbled up his chocolate cake. She is the dearest woman you could ever meet! We also purchased nutmeg biscuits and a coconut dessert bar. Everything is wonderful and fairly priced. We will definitely return! ❤️

    Affable owners Patie (Chef) & Dean (Bartender) are a pleasure to be around. If you are an easy going person that enjoys the simple things in life, you will love Dean & Patie's little slice of paradise with one of the best waterfront views you'll ever see, a place where seafood comes right out of the water to your plate after Patty does her magic in her "She Shack." While waiting for your food to be prepared, you can enjoy a beer or drink with Dean while treating your eyes to the view. If you are looking for some fancy dining, this isn't your place! Da Pink Chicken is a simple place where you can enjoy good fresh food and a drink with good company. You can literally watch Patie remove your conch from the water, work her magic for your prep request, and set it on a plate in front of you. Do you know anywhere else you can see that kind of service?

    Cat Island is beautifully untouched. We stayed on the southern side of the island Port Howe and the water is crystal clear turquoise water. If you are looking for a touristy location then this is not for you. They have a few boutique hotels which are nice. There is no crime and the locals are very nice. There is no traffic and you drive on the left side of the road. You will need to rent a car to get around the island. The gas as of 12/2/22 is around 10.00 a gallon and to purchase groceries are a little expensive because they need to be shipped in. We ate at Hidden Treasures and can not say enough about how the food was delicious… resort quality! We went to the blue hole on Dicky road… peaceful and beautiful - full of turtles and dragon flies. The beaches at McQueen are absolutely beautiful and some fish swim right up to you. This side is the Caribbean side and more calm and crystal clear turquoise water. You can also have fires on the beach and on the map they say that you might see some skinny dipping in the ocean. You can go on the east side of the island where the Atlantic Ocean is. This is where you will find strong waves and pink sand beaches. The island is peaceful you do not hear traffic or the noise of others. There are no see ums and they say to have a fire and cut a coconut in half and throw it in and that will keep them away. If you want peace and tranquillity then this island is for you!

    Nice place for a sunset cocktail. View is even better at the top where you can over look the turquoise water

    What a perfect day we had cruising with Seth and Marisa. Our party of 10 friends had the absolute best time. The catamaran is beautifully maintained and very comfortable.
    Our hosts took great care of us having bought in the beverages we had requested and they prepared a delicious lunch. Fresh fish tacos with grilled Mahi they had caught.
    Our first stop was Mariah beach which is stunning. The most beautiful beach we have ever seen. The crystal clear water and fine powdery sand is spectacular. Our second stop at a coral reef for snorkeling was amazing. A huge variety of fish and coral made for a great swim/dive.
    We cannot recommend this cruise highly enough.

    Captain Top Hat is lovely. He greeted us with fresh melons and provided the special gift I got for my family to have a day bonefishing. He is friendly and attentive. Our 5 year old son had a lot of fun. It was a long hot day but he surely made it great for a great father and son day. Thank you! For this reason, I give him 5 stars. Bring water and snacks you will need them!

    We chartered the Destiny for a day sale with a family of nine. We found the boat to be very nice it is very well-kept. We sailed to Moriah cay , snorkel a bit there, Been as we really wanted to spend more time on the water we sailed for 4 to 5 hours enjoying the beautiful scenery and the boat. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. Lunch was made by the crew it was a very well done taco bar. Wine fear and soft drinks were also provided. I would highly recommend this company. The crew we had Rob and Anya were very knowledgeable and helpful, they both could have been a little friendlier , but we Would definitely do the trip again, and recommend it
