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.

Spring Holiday

I recently booked a vacation to Puerto Vallarta through Brenda & Steve's TravelOnly. The trip was a little complicated to book as it involved 5 people travelling from Vancouver and 2 people travelling from Toronto. Steve handled this with ease and efficiency giving me some different options during the process.The trip went well without a hitch.I would recommend using Brenda & Steve's TravelOnly for your future travel plans.
