Great Stirrup Cay

Great Stirrup Cay is a small island that is part of the Berry Islands in the Bahamas. Norwegian Cruise Line purchased the island from the Belcher Oil Company in 1977 and developed it into a private island for their cruise ship passengers. The northern part of the island has a sandy beach surrounded by rocks with snorkeling areas. The southern part features a helicopter airfield (with a sign reading "Great Stirrup Cay International Airport"), a large area without vegetation, and numerous concrete blocks. These are all remnants of a previous U.S. military installation and satellite tracking station. The island's lighthouse was originally constructed in 1863 by the Imperial Lighthouse Service.

Great Stirrup Cay is adjacent to Little Stirrup Cay, Royal Caribbean Cruises' private island.

You won't be disappointed!!

Our family of 4 travelled to the Dominican Republic Dec.29th to Jan.5th for an overdue sunny getaway and rest & relaxation despite the fear of Covid 19. Wendy met with us ahead of time to go over everything we needed for documentation for Covid restrictions, etc. She thoroughly reviewed the property of our resort with us, she found us the best pricing for our family with even a diamond club upgraded room. Wendy checked on us frequently throughout our stay...
