Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas Cruise Port Guide

The island's main new attraction — a large resort-style heated pool complex with swim-up Reef Bars at both ends, a zero-entry section for small children, in-pool loungers throughout, and multiple cabana options. The centerpiece of Great Stirrup Cay's 2026 upgrades.

A dedicated family splash pad area for younger kids with a separate bar for parents and plenty of surrounding seating. Keeps little ones entertained while parents relax nearby.

Snorkeling — Equipment rental available in advance or day-of. The underwater sculpture garden in Bertram's Cove is a highlight. Good reef snorkeling off the northern point of the main beach.

Wave Runners, Paddleboards & Kayaks — Rentals available at the water sports center. Float mats also available for rent.

Parasailing — A two-person parasail glider towed 400 feet above the water for panoramic views of the cay and surrounding Berry Islands.

Six zip lines and a ropes course of cargo nets, V-net bridges, and chimney climbs at the Flight House. Platforms are 120 feet above the ground reaching speeds up to 50 mph. A 5-hole mini golf course is also available nearby.

Vibe Shore Club — Adults-only area requiring a separately purchased day pass (note: different from the ship's Vibe Beach Club pass — they are not interchangeable). A quieter, more exclusive experience away from the main beach crowds.

Silver Cove — The island's most private and upscale retreat with an infinity pool, Silver Cove Restaurant and Bar, and private villas. Day passes are now available for guests who want access without booking a full villa or spa treatment.

Cabanas & Villas — 22 cabanas available (10 large on Cabana Beach, 12 smaller on Fiesta Beach) plus 38 Silver Cove villas ranging from one to two bedrooms. All include loungers, stocked refreshments, towels, and a private shower. Book cabanas and villas here. These sell out months in advance.

Swim With The Pigs — A 10-minute boat ride from Great Stirrup Cay takes you to the Swimming Pigs of Treasure Island. Feed and swim with these famously friendly animals — a uniquely memorable experience you won't find many other places in the world.

Wave Runner Tour — A 45-minute personal watercraft tour of the Berry Islands covering highlights including the Great Stirrup Cay Lighthouse, Slaughter Harbor, and the abandoned community of Cistern Cay. Single or double wave runners available. Age and weight restrictions apply.

Catamaran & Snorkel — A scenic boat ride before plunging into the Bahamian waters to snorkel. See an abundance of fish and sea life before a relaxed cruise back with music, light refreshments, and beverages.

Open-air massages at Silver Cove with sea views and several outdoor hot tubs. Treatment rooms open to the Caribbean breeze — a peaceful way to spend a few hours on the island.
