Half Moon Cay – Bahamas



Horse Riding Half Moon Cay – Bahamas

Half Moon Cay, also known as Little San Salvador, is one of the 700 islands that make up the Bahamas.

The island was purchased by Holland America in 1997, and development has only occurred on approximately 45 acres of the 2400 acre island. The main goal is to maintain as much habitat as possible for wildlife, especially waterfoul as the island is a significant nesting area.

The original inhabitants of the Caribbean Islands were  the Arawak Indians, who lived a peaceful existence of farmers until the Carib Indians came along in the early 15th Century.
The Caribs were known cannibals who hailed from South America.

The first is obvious but the second is more interesting. The Caribs sliced and smoked their meat over open fires with grills called ‘boucans’.
