Saddle Up
Enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience as you ride a specially trained horse along the winding, equestrian-only trail to the island's highest point for breathtaking views – then through the surf as your horse swims in the ocean.
Half Moon Cay: your own private isle, a day like no other
The quintessential Caribbean. That's the way guests describe Half Moon Cay, Holland America Line's private island in the Bahamas. This 1,700-acre island – only two percent of which is developed – features a huge interior lagoon and a two-mile crescent of perfect beach rimmed by blue.
In fact, for seven years in a row, Porthole Cruise Magazine has awarded Half Moon Cay with its Best Private Island award. After a few minutes here, you'll do the same.
