Upon arrival, as your team leaders, we will greet you and be your hosts for the week of your trip. We have travelled for 17 years to Grand Bahama and have extensive knowledge of The Bahamas and the local culture. We will transport you around the island and accompany you to project sites, group excursions and meetings such as church services. We will also help to educate you on local customs and culture while you are on the island. We will be cooking your group meals, hosting team meetings each evening and looking after your needs while on the island.

There are options: Private condos at Coral Beach and The Pelican Bay Resort in Lucaya remain the primary accommodation choices. These options are both safe and affordable and very close to all the partners and areas of interest. We have stayed at places for the majority of our visits and can highly recommend them. Both are gated and offer 24/7 security and on-site restaurants.
