Sail from Paradise Island to Nassau reefs for an hour of snorkeling, island views, music, and an open bar on this 3.5-hour catamaran trip.

It was a bit overcast with choppy water the day we went, but we were still able to see tons of marine life. There was just the right amount of snorkeling time and drinks on the way back to port. I would absolutely do this again!”

Nassau: Pearl Island Beach Day Trip and Cruise with Lunch

9.Pearl Island Beach Day Trip and Cruise with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 112 reviews · 5 hours · from $94

Pearl Island Bahamas offers a five-hour beach day with ferry views, lunch, kayaking, snorkeling, lighthouse access, and family-friendly facilities.

“Escursione molto deludente. Innanzitutto non vi aspettate di andare a vedere chissà quale mare perché l'isola si trova soltanto a 10-15 minuti di barca dal molo di Paradise island. Il mare é esattamente uguale a quello di paradise island e rimarrete confinati insieme a tantissime altre persone a Pearl Island per un tempo estremamente lungo. Il mangiare é pessimo e le bibite costanto parecchio. Se volete fare un'escursione in una bella isola, vi consiglio vivamente di non prendere in considerazione questa.”

Review of Nassau’s Cabbage Beach watersports package with jet skiing, parasailing, banana boat riding, transport, costs, tips, and drawbacks.

“The experience was not all that. Finding the location/ cabana is a hassle- it’s not an office. Then on top of all the money that you pay- all the workers are harassing and following you for tip money. One offered to drive us to the bank for cash. Willingly. Upon bringing us back, he followed us back to the cabana asking how much are we going to give him for bringing us. It was a mess.”
