Top 6 Shore Excursions in the Bahamas

1.Nassau Shore Excursion: Bahamas Snorkel Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 278 reviews · from $143Our pick

Review of Nassau’s 5-hour snorkel and shark excursion, with practical advice on transport, water time, conditions, safety, price, and cruise timing.

“The people were friendly and helpful and the equipment was good. The boat was crowded. The bus ride to the starting point was way too long as was the boat ride from the starting point to the point you actually got in the water. If they were located closer, it would be much more worth it. As nice as they were, if I were to do it again I would search for something that left closer to Nassau or the resorts, even at a higher price.”
