Tours in the Bahamas vary as much as the islands themselves,
covering just about every interest, length, and price range. While
the Bahamas' larger towns, like Nassau and Freeport, have many
interesting historical sites that can be navigated easily without a
guide, seeing the sites in the more secluded outer regions of the
Bahamas is much better when accompanied by someone who knows the
area and can point out things of note. Every major island in the
Bahamas has something unique to offer, and you won't have any
trouble finding a tour operator willing to show you - by land, sea,
or air - their favorite spots.
The Bahamas biggest attractions are its waters - don't visit without
taking a boat tour. Luckily, operators of all varieties depart from
the harbor in the Bahamas capital region of Nassau every day. You
can hop aboard one of Island Tours' or Island Fantasy's party
catamarans for a half-day snorkeling tour of the Bahamas beautiful
Rose Island, or enjoy a more leisurely cruise in Nassau harbor run
by Flying Cloud.
Ballymena will custom-design your boat tour of the Bahamas main
or outer islands, with a focus on exploring the Bahamas' heritage
and best cultural sites. For something a little quicker, take a
powerboat tour of the Exuma Cays by Powerboat Adventures, where you
can feed the Bahamas "friendly" sharks and stingrays or just relax
on the beach.
If you'd prefer a self-powered water tour of the Bahamas, rent a
kayak from Kayak Nature Tour on Grand Bahama and spend hours ogling
the flora and fauna of Lucayan National Park. You may also tour the
park on land through East End Adventures, which also visits Grand
Bahamas famous blue holes.
For an unparalleled bird's eye view of the Bahamas, you can organize
helicopter and sea-plane tours in Nassau. Seaplane Safaris offers
hour tours of the Bahamas, as well as full-day trips to the Bahamas'
out islands, including lunch and snorkeling. A similar package is
available to Norman and Allen's Cay. Paradise Island Helicopters
have 10, 20, or 30 minute tour options for up to four people for a
more personal aerial guide of the Bahamas. |
