GRAND BAHAMA’S PREMIER NATURE EXPERIENCE

12-Acre Natural Sanctuary

At Garden of the Groves, indigenous and migratory birds and butterflies sip nectar or take insects from the many flowers and shrubs that were newly planted to provide nectar, insects and berries for wildlife.

50 Years of the Garden of the Groves 1973-2023

Celebrating 50 Years in Bloom

Wildlife Habitation

Since the Garden was re-opened it has been certified as a Wildlife Habitat by the U.S. Wildlife Federation because the new operators are providing the four basic habitat elements needed for wildlife to thrive: food, water, cover, and places to raise young.

  • Beautiful nature park. Many birds, nice sitting areas. Very quiet and peaceful. Excellent outdoor restaurant that is still open overlooking the small lake with fish, turtles and ducks.

  • Our guide was AMAZING. I wish I could remember her name. She was so genuine and welcoming, and the gardens were really beautiful. After the initial tour we got to wander on our own and explore and there were so many things to discover. It was really fun and the local flora and fauna were beautiful.

  • Super chill location that is perfect for some down time while on vacation. It will take about 1.0 to 1.5 hours to walk the garden. The restaurant that is on premise is a perfect place to wrap up the garden with some excellent food and some amazing rum drinks. Glad we added this to our tour.

  • Gorgeous spot on Grand Bahama Island. 10 minute drive from Freeport. If you love flora and fauna, this is your place. And the cafe has a lovely view of two small waterfalls, a large pond with lots of turtles. We also saw a grey heron!
