All Nassau Tours

The capital of the Bahamas is also the island chain’s biggest city—and the best place to start your adventures. Begin with cultural Nassau excursions, whether you embark on an ATV or Jeep trip to see the city’s best-known historical monuments or head on a street food-tasting tour (complemented by local rum and reggae). Once you’ve seen the best that the capital offers, save time for a day trip: Head to the Exuma Cays to meet the famous swimming pigs, see the underwater sights when you snorkel at Rose Island, or book a cabana on Pearl Island.
