Those seeking a more active off-the-island activity need look no further than one of Nassau’s many “adventure” offerings. These trips, offered by companies like
Power Boat Adventures and
Island World Adventures take guests past cays and islets, snorkeling over coral reefs, and feeding wild stingrays, sharks and iguanas. And if you’re looking to move up from snorkeling to scuba,
Bahama Divers is the place to call.
Recreation isn’t always beach-bound in Nassau. Families flock to the
Ardastra Gardens, Zoo and Conservation Center, where trained flamingos march on command and Lorry parrots eat out of your hand. The
Straw Market is a popular draw for tourists, and specializes in the straw work the Bahamas have become known for, along with a host of other handicrafts. And for those lucky enough to spend Christmas in Nassau, the Mardis-Gras-like
Junkanoo Celebration– a colorful parade of costumes, dancing and music – is a special holiday treat.
