- P6139EFsarahr0 contributionsFantastic TourTour was great. Charles took us all over the island and was very informative. Saw some awesome sights and did some shopping. Conch fritters were delicious. Paired with a mango slush.. 🤤🤤Written September 9, 2024
- 531aubreyc0 contributionsamazing!!!!We had such a wonderful time! our tour guide was waiting for us outside the cruise terminal. I had my 2.5 year old with us, who also had a great time! It was so hot outside, we rode in a van with cold AC which is a plus and the tour guide offered us complimentary waters! I would say it’s a must do. Went to several places including gold rock beach and we were the only 3 on the beach at that location, even saw a sea turtle! Loved it!!!!! 10/10 recommend!Written August 20, 2024
- scomun10 contributionsInformative and fun timeCharlie was great! He provided us with a a ton of information and history about Grand Bahama. He took us places we would have never known about on our own. Stops at a couple of Markets gave us time for souvenir shopping, snacks and drinks, and a 2 hour stop at a beach club for beach time and a nice lunch was great.Written July 25, 2024
- P2346QOsylviam0 contributionsMamma Gals Awesome Native ExperienceWe got off our ship not knowing what we were going to do as we hadn't booked an excursion. In asking about the Mamma Gal Native Experiences I had read reviews about, we met Irene, who ended up being our guide. She took us to an awesome Farmers Market, lighthouse, and to the best restaurant on the island with its own private beach. She drove us around between stops explaining how the generational areas are set up, how the government works and showing and telling us about various landmarks. Irene was a wealth of information, answered all our questions and we had an amazing time with her. This experience was so much more than we expected. I recommend it 1000%! We had so much FUN!!!Written May 30, 2024
- Dreamer464662534460 contributionsGreat tour of the cityWe had Charlie as our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. The highlight for us was stopping at the rocky beach in the fishing village and picking up a conch shell that we got to take back with us. It was cool to see the buildings, the marketplace, and the lighthouse. The complimentary conch fritters were delicious! We would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the city of Freeport.Written May 7, 2024
- Climber675563797420 contributionsWhat a great experience!Charlie was fantastic! He orchestrated a wonderful day for the five of us on his tour. We saw several diverse sections of the Freeport area with ample time to experience the local culture, indulge in delicious Bahamian food and beverages, relax and have lunch at an exquisite. secluded beach away from the tourist areas, while allowing time on the way back to the Margaritaville ship for a stop at the Sands Brewery and Shop at our request. Charlie is a great guide.... friendly, fun and informative! Don't hesitate to reserve this tour, it is a great way to enjoy your visit to Freeport.Written March 7, 2024
- Curiosity7746730 contributionsWonderful tour, very enjoyable.Denise, our driver and tour guide, provided a fascinating and informative trip in an air conditioned van. She had a problem with the microphone system, but her voice was loud enough to hear. We went to many areas, and saw all facets of the communities and life beyond the tourist and city areas. Stopped at a beach, farmer's market where we had some delicious conch/lobster fritters, and even a liquor store by request of another passenger. This is the tour if you want to know all about Freeport.Written February 22, 2024

- Escape6350850 contributionsTop Tour!Great day touring Freeport. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the island as she was born and has lived there for many years. She took us around the island (not just the tourist areas) to see how the Bahamian people live. She didn't rush us to move from spot to spot and we felt we had enough time at each place to shop, eat, etc. Would highly recommend this tour!Written October 22, 2023
- 769jaydenb0 contributionsAmazing experience! Would go again and again!Charley was super nice! We were on the Carnival Dream, and we have been to Freeport 1 other time, that time we also took a tour with Charley. We loved it and we were hoping too find him again, we had a great experience both times, he’s super nice, he will take you where ever you wanna go, and won’t just leave you, he will stay with you the whole time. He took us too a place where we can get free conch shells, literally on the ocean where you can just bend down and pick one up, we went shopping, we went too a pharmacy, and he gave us a tour of the whole island, the poor side the rich side, and the downtown side! He even took us to a private beach. He will answer anything you ask, he will take you wherever you wanna go, and if your have never been there before and don’t know where too go, he will take you too some great places, love him he even made me a necklace cause he new that he would see me again.❤️ Thank you so much charley, I will be back for sure! 100/10 would recommend Thanks again Charley for a great experience! | Love JaydenWritten October 1, 2023
- debklug50 contributionsVery informative tour!I got to speak with Charley before heading out on our tour with Denise. Both of them are so sweet and nice to talk to. We had a great tour and we were super lucky to be the only ones in the van, so we definitely got undivided attention. Denise was very informative about the island, the people, the natural herbal remedies...and she told us where to get the absolutely best conch fritters, fresh conch salad and frozen mango drink. I can't thank Denise enough for being such a stellar human being.Written July 21, 2023

Charlie was fantastic with his local knowledge of the intricate details of the tour, including the plants in the Lucayan National Park. He provided an amazing balance of guidance and allowing us to explore on our own. At Banana Bay, his recommendation of the food was spot on. He provided such a wonderful and intimate tour. I HIGHLY recommend booking the Mamma Gal East End Native Experience as this review does not do the tour justice. Book it and you'll understand why his tours get such rave reviews!

We loved our day tour with Charley! He was so knowledgeable about the island and made sure we had a great experience. If you are coming in on a cruise like us, DON’T book through the cruise lines! They pack you in like sardines on those buses. Charley made sure we felt isolated from the crowds, but we felt so safe the whole time. Highly recommend this tour if you’re coming to Freeport!

We did the East End experience. Our tour guide, Bradshaw, was extremely courteous and helpful. He took excellent care of us for the entire day. I definitely recommend wearing good walking/climbing shoes for the caves, but bring along beachwear to take full advantage of the GORGEOUS beaches.

My wife and I were the only clients the day we took the tour. Our day with Charles could not have been better. He is so knowledgeable about Grand Bahama; The Bahamas historical, cultural and current events; and other opportunities to explore and eat. It was an excellent educational day. I highly recommend this tour.

This post is long overdue, but better late than never. Mamma Gal/C Bevans Taxi and Tours were amazing to work with and so flexible with customizing our tour, and our day with Charlie was a highlight of our trip (a cruse between Florida and the Bahamas). We actually arranged to essentially combine both the East End and Cultural tours (for an added charge, of course), and it was well worth it. Getting to learn about the different peoples, cultures/industries, food, and landscapes at a leisurely but intentional pace was such a treat. There was a perfect balance of instructional/guided time and independent exploration time. It really was like visiting an uncle and having him show us around and share some of his favorite places. We were able to get away from crowds and most tourists, so even though we were only there for a day, it didn't feel like a "tourist" activity, but an authentic visit. Well worth it!

Thanks to Charlie, we had a wonderful tour that included both an introduction to the history of the island, including challenges Bahamian's have faced, as well as the natural beauty it offers. Much information was shared and questions answered . We also had plenty of time to explore the Lucayan park, a breathtaking Gold Rock Beach as well as take a swim at Banana Bay beach. Thank you Mr Charlie for a memorable and very relaxing day.

We had the best tour with Charlie! We saw a lot of different areas, and had just the right amount of time at each stop. We never felt rushed. The Lukaya National Park with the caves was very interesting, Gold Rock beach was beautiful and not crowded, lunch and beach was great, and a little shipping at the end. We learned a lot about the island. A perfect day on Grand Bahama. It was so nice to have a local guide who grew up on the island - who is very professional, knowledgable, with a great personality and sense of humor. Couldn't ask for a better tour guide. Highly recommend Mamma Gal tours!

Such a great experience. The beaches are gorgeous and this excursion was amazing. Highly recommend spending a few hours with them and getting to know the island better! Charlie was our guide and he personalized our experience and since we weren’t crunched for time even added in a few extras. The national park and caves were very interesting. Our personal favorite was the town of high rock and gold rock beach. In the town of high rock we stopped at the bar on the beach and got some drinks from the bar. Bishops bar and restaurant is a hidden gem! Tons of photo opportunities along the route! The people are friendly and the food was amazing. He also stopped for us to get cash from the atm before heading to the straw market. The market has souvenirs but you can also go into the shopping center area and get regular items. Highly recommend this tour for anyone on Grand Bahama. I can’t seem to upload pictures but I will add them later

Greetings,
How far is the Harley Davidson shop from where the ship will be docked? I am a bit confused trying to figure out exactly where our ship (Carnival Pride) will be docked. We have an extremely early depart time (1:30) so I imagine our all aboard time will be 1:00. I imagine there should be no difficulty getting us back in time? Thank you in advance for your response!
