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.

An amazing experience!

Recently Randy and I booked a trip to Spain. A big shout out to Wendy for arranging our trip. She did an amazing job. She booked a 10 day train trip through Spain, providing us with all of our tickets, private transports and the most beautiful hotels. We had an amazing experience. Thanks again Wendy. Jo-Anne and Randy Knight
