The 5 Best 1-Day Tours in the Bahamas

1.Pearl Island Beach Day Trip and Cruise with Lunch

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

Take a five-hour ferry trip from Paradise Island to Pearl Island for Bahamian lunch, two beaches, a lighthouse, kayaks, paddle boards, water mats, and shaded decks. Bring a towel and ID, and budget extra for drinks, lockers, and snorkeling equipment.

“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.”

2.Exuma Powerboat Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 68 reviews · 8 hours · from $328

You’ll ride a 60-foot powerboat from Nassau to Ship Channel Cay, then spend the day with swimming pigs, iguanas, stingrays, and sharks. Your English-speaking crew serves breakfast snacks, a fresh buffet lunch, an open bar, and a lively conch salad demonstration.

“This one was our true Bahamas highlight! Amazing trip, worth the price. A lot of emotions started already on the boat, when we were bouncing through the ocean waves on our way to Exuma islands with high speed and wind in hair. Then all the animal encounters, nature surroundings and great guides made our day - with a lunch and open bar close to the sharks - swimming just below our feet. I would only advise to avoid booking it on your last day in Bahamas, as our was rescheduled to the next day due to weather conditions. Anyways, an honest recommendation from me - the images from the trip…”

3.Sun Cay Day Trip, Snorkel, Iguana Encounter, & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★3.4 · 52 reviews · 5 hours · from $99

“Be more clear on the time you have on the island if you book and you’re on a cruise. We only had 2 hours on the island. They didn’t have transportation back to accommodate our time back on the cruise so we had to go back an hour earlier. Very disappointed with this excursion.”
