We did this Banana Boat ride last October & had a wonderful time - so much so wanted to go again. Unfortunately this time the outcome was not good. Last time the driver was also a tour guide. He gave us lots of info about the pirate ship, history of Grand Bahama, the dolphins & who owned houses on the... More

I was disappointed to read your review. Which day did you snorkel? We don`t have scheduled times for the trip. It is a day pass, the main boat stays on the reef and we have a ferry service going to and from the main boat. The ferry is called when someone signs up , so I am not sure how... More

I've been parasailing several times, always launching from a boat. This service is different. It uses a floating dock for launching, which was interesting and fun! You take a boat out to the dock, then wait your turn on the dock, instead of on the boat. The staff was all courteous, professional, and friendly. The parasailing ride was the longest... More

We were signed up to go parasailing. When we arrived in Freeport, it was quite windy. After finding the Ocean Motion hut, we waited around, looking for someone to talk to. (we wanted to make sure it was canceled, so we wouldnt be charged). After about 10 minutes we talked to a man who was moving life vests. He did... More

I had always wanted to go para-sailing but was always too afraid. My husband and I recently went to the beach at Freeport where he immediately signed me up to go para-sailing with Ocean Motion. I am afraid of heights and was totally terrified - asking questions about falling into the water, the parachute not working, sharks, breaking an ankle...... More

Para-sailing is fantastic fun with experienced staff who make you feel safe at the same time as enjoying yourself. Nothing is too much trouble, whether it be taking your photo or looking after your stuff while you enjoy yourselves. Me and my family have been there many times and always have fun ! More

We had a great day with Ocean Motion - went out to Rainbow reef to see the small reef fish in all their colours, had a flight up over the waters too, what a view and glad we took our camera.
