Things to Do in Nassau: Tours, Tickets & Boat Trips
Wondering what to do in Nassau? The island highlights sightseeing tour (about $80) is the most-reviewed way to see Fort Charlotte, the Queen’s Staircase, the Cloisters and the Graycliff in a morning, and the rum-tasting and food walk ($98) is the best-loved thing to do on foot. Then the water: the swimming pigs, snorkelling and beach-club day on Rose Island ($133–145), the swim-with-turtles trip ($135), a reef snorkel ($144) and, for the real Exuma pigs, the powerboat adventure ($329). Give yourself three to four days — one for downtown, the forts and the food, one for the pigs or a Blue Lagoon Island beach day, one for Atlantis or Cabbage Beach on Paradise Island, one for an ATV tour ($75) and the Fish Fry at Arawak Cay. Plenty is free: Junkanoo and Cable beaches, Cabbage Beach’s public access, the Queen’s Staircase, Fort Charlotte and the John Watling’s distillery tour cost nothing. Below you can compare every Nassau tour and ticket by rating and price, with free cancellation on most.
