Exciting Family Activities Await on Great Stirrup Cay

If you're gearing up for a Bahamas cruise with Dinogo, a stop at our private island paradise, Great Stirrup Cay, is likely on your itinerary. Bringing the whole family? No worries! This stunning 250-acre island is packed with family-friendly cruise activities. Read on for our top picks for family fun on Dinogo's exclusive island.
1. Snorkeling at Great Stirrup Cay
Experience an exhilarating shore excursion at the sculpture garden, which serves as an ideal spot to snorkel in the clear turquoise waters and discover the vibrant marine life and stunning fish that thrive around the sculptures. Everyone can access the underwater garden, and it's a self-guided adventure. Take your time as you explore, allowing your kids to enjoy their favorite statues and sea creatures. Snorkeling here promises an unforgettable underwater journey for the entire family.

2. Wave Runners, Kayaking, and Paddleboard Excursions
For an exhilarating time on Great Stirrup Cay, hop on a wave runner and make some waves! Alternatively, embark on a kayak tour or explore the island via paddleboarding. Paddling around the island is a fun way for the family to set shared goals and achieve them together.
3. Stingray Encounter Experience
Embark on an adventure at Stingray City, Bahamas! The stingray encounter is a fantastic opportunity for your family to make unforgettable memories. It's hard to forget meeting a stingray! You can feed and interact with these creatures during this excursion, and snorkel alongside the mysterious rays too. Non-swimmers will enjoy this experience as the water is quite shallow.


4. Enjoy Lunch at Abaco Taco
After a day filled with swimming, snorkeling, or kayaking, take the family to Abaco Taco for a delicious lunch. Everyone can make their own complimentary tacos before diving back into more fun and adventure. Dinogo also features a beach buffet offering a variety of options for even the pickiest eaters. A new addition to the Great Stirrup Cay dining scene is the Tropic Like It's Hot food truck, ideal for hungry kids looking for a quick snack before their next island escapade.
5. Rent Your Own Private Cabana or Villa
Unwind on Fiesta Beach, away from the crowds, and enjoy a private cabana with your family. Refreshments include fresh fruit, chips and salsa, and water bottles. Together, you can play on the beach, swim in the ocean, and relax in the comfort of the cabana.
6. Swim with the Pigs
One of the most memorable family cruise experiences is swimming with the famous pigs in the Bahamas. Guests of Dinogo have the unique opportunity to get up close to these swimming pigs. The original pig island, Big Major Cay, is quite far from popular Bahamian ports, often requiring a lengthy boat ride. However, with Dinogo, it's just a quick 10-minute boat ride to Treasure Island, where you can hang out with these charming Caribbean pigs.

7. Zip Lining Excursions
Great Stirrup Cay offers several thrilling zip line experiences. Book a zip lining adventure on the Osprey traverse, named after the majestic bird of prey seen on the decks of Great Stirrup Cay. You'll enjoy three exhilarating flights, starting with the tallest run at 120 feet above ground. It's a brief ride, but you'll feel the adrenaline rush as you soar high above the ground.
The highlight of Great Stirrup Cay is the Seahawk Zipline. Spanning a total of 2,975 feet, this adventure begins with an elevator ride to a 110-foot platform, offering breathtaking views over 1,429 feet, including the beach, nearby reefs, and surrounding islands. The return trip is equally exciting, featuring a 105-foot V-net bridge and a 25-foot chimney climb. Still have energy to spare? Challenge yourself with a 36-foot cargo net climb that’s 40 feet in the air.

As if Great Stirrup Cay wasn’t already spectacular, Dinogo is creating an exclusive, luxurious retreat on the private island. This new getaway will feature luxury villas right by the beach and a secluded area to unwind. A family beach zone will also be available for more family-friendly fun!
