Blue Lagoon

  • October 25, 2004

Blue Lagoon is a 45-minute ferry ride from Nassau. This is a full daytrip. It's a nice little secluded island, a great time to relax on the beach or on one of their humongous hammocks. Take a swim in the clear, blue water-it's very calm. Snorkeling is fun, too. Take lots of pictures of the fish. We were surprised to see many fish around the snorkeling site.

Its just beautiful. You could sleep all day on a hammock or swim in crystal clear water. It's a sight you can only see in the Caribbean. Suprisingly, the water in the lagoon is a bit colder than the water in the open ocean, but there you can't swim because the waves are big, there are rocks, and there are some sharks in the area. The lagoon, in contrast, is perfectly safe, calm, and romantic.

Snokel with Stingrays at Blue Lagoon

Snokel with Stingrays at Blue Lagoon

The stingrays gently stroke you as they swim about looking for the squid pieces they know are forthcoming. If you are like us and stuck on the steps due to disability and/or small child, you will not be missing out. The staff will be there with a bait bucket in the water handing out squid to the swimmers and stingrays drawn by the smell will swim over to you (beware of stingray hickeys). My son and I lost track of time just sitting in the water on the steps touching the stingrays to include one of only two albino stingrays in the world.

A great learning experience for little ones and just plain fun for adults - this was so worth the cost. Do bring your own water from home or fill up bottles on the boat, since water there and onboard is expensive. After your swim, snuggle up in one of the hammocks dotted throughout the island, swim in the crystal-clear lagoon, or take pictures in "postcard" settings throughout the island.

Best place to go on an all day excursion. The beach is wonderful. They have hammocks hanging from the palm trees. There is a section where you can feed (and snorkel) with the sting rays. Great snorkeling. My husband and I saw a 5-6 foot nurse shark and an enormous Manta Ray, in addition to lobster and many fish. The nice thing is that you are not stuck there all day. They have many boats coming and going. You can leave when you like. Lunch and a couple of drinks are included.

Blue Lagoon Glass Bottom Boat from Premier Cruise

Blue Lagoon Glass Bottom Boat from Premier Cruise

A short 45 minute boat ride through the picturesque landscape, bordered by very lush vacation homes of the rich and famous. The tour guide tells you stories of how the island was settled and who occupies some of these homes. You also get a great view of the wonderful hotel Atlantis.

During the boat ride you are able to go below deck to the belly of the boat to see a variety of beautiful fish in shallow waters through the glass laid bottom. The fish are attracted to the boat from above, where our tour guides are feeding the fish breadcrumbs. The "Ya Man" tour guide names off the different types of fish you are viewing.

Once you arrive at Blue Lagoon you are free to do as you please. Some of the activities you part take in are swimming, scuba driving, and snorkeling.

The cruise provided a barbecue for lunch, prepared by the ships' chiefs. The island also hosts a dolphin encounter. This is priced separately. At $50 to swim with the dolphins, and add $20 to include a picture with you and the dolphins. Viewing is free!

This island is truly a lagoon. The water is very shallow and is a beautiful turquoise color. This island was the original filming location for Gilligan's Island. There is a gift shop to purchase souvenirs.
