Cruise to Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas with Holland America Line. This stunning crescent-shaped cay is the highest-rated private island in the Bahamas. Plus, it has been named Porthole Cruise Magazine’s Best Private Island for the last 20 years.  

Enjoy horseback riding along the beach or hiking the island’s ridge for amazing views of the island and a chance to spot some local birds. If you would rather explore Half Moon Cay by water, head out on a kayaking trip to explore the lagoons and learn about local marine life and mangroves.
