Little San Salvador island - Wikipedia Little San Salvador island `` Half Moon Cay '' redirects here. It is not to be confused with Half Moon Caye. Map of Bahamas Little San Salvador Island, also known as Half Moon Cay, is one of about 700 islands that make up the archipelago of The Bahamas. It is located roughly halfway between Eleuthera and Cat Island. It is a private island, owned by Holland America Line, which uses it as a port of call for the cruise ships it operates in the region. Prior to being owned by HAL, Little San Salvador was the private island of Norwegian Cruise Line. The Carnival Triumph at Half Moon Cay Little San Salvador Island is located about 100 miles ( 160 kilometres ) southeast of Nassau. Holland America Line purchased the island in December, 1996 for a price of $6 million USD. It has since developed 50 acres ( 200,000 m ) of the 2,400 - acre ( 9.7 km ) island, with the stated goal of maintaining as much habitat as possible for wildlife. The island is also a significant nesting area for waterfowl. The island does not have deep water docking, requiring the use of tenders for cruise ship passengers to disembark and embark. Activities offered on the island include swimming, sunbathing, scuba diving, jet - skiing, cycling, and snorkeling. Deep - sea fishing, parasailing, glass - bottom boat rides, and nature walks also are available. A variety of water toys are available for rent, including Hobie catamarans, Sunfish sailboats, windsurfing sailboards, and kayaks. There are volleyball and basketball courts, horseshoes, shuffleboard, a fitness trail with exercise stations, horseback riding, and nature trails for hiking.
