8 Drinking Tours in the Bahamas to Build a Day Around

1.Nassau Sail & Snorkel Adventure with 1 Hour Open Bar

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 106 reviews · from $130Our pick

Review of Nassau’s 3.5-hour sail and snorkel trip, with reef time, open bar, practical tips, meeting details, and honest value advice.

“There is potential for this to be a good trip, but the tour we were on was bad. The weather the day of the tour was rainy, cold, and windy. The crew acknowledged this but still continued the tour. The ocean conditions made it almost impossible to snorkel for most of the passengers and the crew made very little effort to assist. There was only a quick run-through of the equipment and any questions asked of the crew were met with responses that made it seem as if the customers were inconveniencing them. I've been on snorkel trips before and this was very sub-par in comparison.”

“If you are looking for shopping this is not for you! We were able to stop at the perfumery but we had 10 minutes to shop, not enough time to create a fragrance! The bazaar closed after hurricane Sandy so no luck there. The brewery was delish! Lots of beer to sample and to try as much as you want.”
