Cat Island is home to several species of land crabs and coastal crabs. Depending on the season and location, you may encounter blue land crabs, white land crabs, and hermit crabs. Our guides will teach you how to identify each species and handle them safely.

We use traditional hand-catching methods and simple tools that have been used for generations. You'll learn how to spot crab burrows, read the tides, and approach crabs without startling them. It's a skill-based activity that's both challenging and rewarding.

Cook-Up Included?

Many of our crabbing packages include an optional traditional Bahamian crab cook-up, where our local chefs prepare your catch using authentic island recipes. It's the perfect way to end your adventure—enjoying fresh crab by the water with your group.
