INVISIBLE BOAT EXPERIENCE & SNORKEL IN THE BAHAMAS

Excursion details

Experience Bahamian life both above and below the ocean surface during this excursion of around three hours. Your aquatic adventure starts with an introductory safety briefing and a walk from your ship to the transparent boat dock, lasting about 20 minutes.

Once you’ve boarded your vessel, settle in for a ride lasting around 65 minutes, beginning with a scenic tour of Nassau Harbor as you head toward the iconic Atlantis Marina, passing under the resort’s archways and cruising through its canals to capture photos and enjoy a unique view from the water. Afterward, the boat continues to the snorkeling spot near Pearl Island, sailing past Paradise Island and Athol Island, both off the northern coast of Nassau. As you float over the sea, gaze down through the boat’s transparent hull and see what you can spot below the waves. This region of the Caribbean Sea is home to a rich array of marine plant and animal life, but please note sightings cannot be guaranteed.

The boat trip ends at a nearby snorkelling hot spot, where you’ll head into the sea for around 20 minutes. Once again, watch out for some of this area’s diverse plant and animal species as you swim, but please remember that viewings can’t be guaranteed.

After the snorkelling ends, you’ll sail near Pearl Island, a short distance off the northern coast of Athol Island and around eight miles from Nassau. This small but scenic spot features a charming lighthouse and sweeping views back across to Nassau and the island of New Providence, offering plenty to admire as you relax here for around 65 minutes.

Then, you’ll sail back to the port at Nassau on a short journey, concluding the excursion.

Excursion details

Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, is primed for sightseeing, and this driving-based excursion of around two hours covers some of the city’s most easily accessible attractions. Begin with a short drive to Rawson Square, a historic public plaza that acts as a natural starting point for exploring Nassau.

From here, it’s about a 15-minute drive to Atlantis Paradise Island, a huge complex featuring sandy beaches, rides and restaurants. After driving past Atlantis, there’s a short, scenic bus tour of colourful Potter’s Cay, home to a buzzing fish market, before the excursion continues to the Queen’s Staircase. You’ll then have around 15 minutes to admire the 66 steps of this carved limestone staircase, which links 18th-century Fort Fincastle with the city.

Afterwards, there’s another short drive past Gregory’s Arch, a pink-hued gateway chiselled out of stone, and Government House, the similarly salmon-coloured residence of the Bahamas’governor-general, before a stop of about 30 minutes at John Watling’s Distillery, set on an 18th-century estate. Here, you’ll be welcomed with a sample of pina colada to try before learning how the popular spirit is made.

The next 20 minutes are taken up with a drive and stop-off encompassing Fish Fry – a locally loved strip of restaurants and food vendors – and sandy Junkanoo Beach. Grab some photos of these two sights before a short drive back to the ship, along the way passing Straw Market, an open-air hub selling handmade gifts and craft items.
