If you could treat yourself to one amazing thing while on your Bahamas vacation, I would say put your money towards an excursion. I always suggest doing a day trip to Exuma first, however, if you are trying to keep yourself on a budget, staying local is a much more affordable option, and you will be able to see some really amazing spots around Nassau! These are all very intermediate/beginner snorkeling locations, as long as you can swim comfortably, you will be “A-OKAY”!
First and foremost, you must know that a boat has to be involved to get to these spots, and more likely than not, you will have to book a private excursion for you and your crew. Pricing usually starts at around $750 for an excursion. Get in touch with me if you’d like to move forward with the booking, I’ll make sure you have the best experience!
Bahamas Underwater Sculptures
If you’ve been doing your Bahamas research, I’m sure you’ve come across these beautiful sculptures at one point or another. There are a few of them located just offshore, they are accessible by boat or land, they are easy to explore, close to the surface of the water, and just require snorkels! I highly recommend this spot as it provides the best photo ops and is one of the best things you can do in The Bahamas!
HOW TO GET THERE:
Located at Clifton Heritage Park, on the Western Side of the Island, or book a tour with Float Your Boat Bahamas to access by boat, this is one of the stops included in our tours.
PRICE by land:
- $22.50 for access & gear
- $65 for Guided Tour & gear
Swim with Turtles
Green Cay is a small little island, usually swarming with turtles! Have your captain take you to Green Cay, jump off the boat and take a little swim with the cutest little guys in the water. The water is usually relatively calm, there is usually a current, but the shore is close by! We always try to book on the best weather days so you enjoy your charter to the fullest!
Cost: Included in our Local Boat Tour. Check out the Float Your Boat Bahamas Excursion page for more information.
Bahamas Attractions: Reef Snorkeling
There are so many reefs en route to Rose Island, have your captain take you to a few, and just swim around! If you are an experienced spear-fisher, bring your gear and catch some grouper or lobster for you and your crew!
Cost: Included in our Local Boat Tour. Check out the Float Your Boat Bahamas Excursion page for more information.
Da Pig Village in Adeliade
Check out Da Pig Village, located in Nassau, you can spend your day hanging out with the pigs, enjoy lunch, and lounge at a beautiful beach bar. Play volleyball, cornhole, go paddleboarding, starfish hunting, or just relax on one of the most beautiful beaches in Nassau.
Cost: Included in our Local Boat Tour. Check out the Float Your Boat Bahamas Excursion page for more information.
Go to a Bahamas Island Beach Bar
You can’t take an excursion out to Rose Island without stopping at Footprints for lunch & a cocktail! End your day here with a nice hamburger, some music, perhaps a little volleyball, and some relaxation on the beach! Explore the island a little more if you’d like and see what else you can find! You’ll usually find a few beautiful creatures in the sea or roaming the island.
