Spanish Wells is a small island in the Bahamas that is known for its beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters, and friendly people. It is also a popular destination for private land tours.
Your private land tour with Captain Kid Tours wouldn’t be complete without discovering some of the island’s most awe-inspiring natural and historical landmarks. These unforgettable destinations offer a deeper look into the heritage, geology, and breathtaking scenery of North Eleuthera — all just a short ride away.
The Birthplace of Bahamian History
Historical Significance: Often called the Plymouth Rock of the Bahamas, Preacher’s Cave marks the landing point of the Eleutheran Adventurers in 1648 — Puritan settlers who were shipwrecked on the Devil’s Backbone reef and found refuge in this enormous cavern. The island’s name, Eleuthera, comes from the Greek word eleútheros, meaning “freedom.”
Captain Kid and Kayston are direct descendants of these early Eleutheran settlers — offering a truly personal connection to the land you’ll explore.
