Most of this country only makes sense from the water. The 15 below run from a two-hour harbour cruise to a full day south to the Exumas, each priced per person where the operator sells it that way, and clear about how much swimming time you get.

Nassau: Swimming Pigs, Snorkeling, Lunch, & Beach Boat Tour

1.Swimming Pigs, Snorkeling, Lunch, & Beach Boat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 421 reviews · 150 minutes - 4 hours · from $140Our pick

Review of Nassau’s swimming pigs and snorkeling boat tour, with lunch, private beach time, water sports, rum punch, and free photos.

“The tour was great! We chose it because we don’t like spending too much time on a boat. On the speedboat, you don’t feel the waves much and get to Pig Island quickly. It’s a fantastic trip with many beautiful photo opportunities. The crew is very cheerful and fun. There are also less people compared to other, larger Pig Islands. We highly recommend it!”

5.Pigs Beach Trip by Boat with Swimming and Feeding

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 145 reviews · 3 hours · from $79Best value

Review of Nassau’s $79 Pig Beach boat trip, with swimming pigs, feeding, Pearl Island time, practical tips, timing, and honest value advice.

“Excellent little trip. We boarded our boat in Nassau with Pig Express bands which meant we went directly onto Pig Beach rather than staying on the island where others had lunch. If you’re not fussed about lunch then this is a good option, however as we found you have no time in Pearl Island to lounge around and enjoying the water sports. You are directly back onto the boat for the return trip. We did pick up at Paradise Island too so do enquire as this would have saved us a 40min walk. The guys on the boats and at Pig Beach were super friendly. We had about an hour…”

6.Catamaran Sail and Snorkel Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 131 reviews · 3h 30m · from $103

Review of Nassau’s catamaran sail and snorkel tour, with reef time, open-bar drinks, island views, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“This was a fantastic tour! The guides were great and made sure everyone was having fun but also that everyone was prepared and snorkeling safely. 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!”

9.Pearl Island Beach Day Trip and Cruise with Lunch

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

Review of Pearl Island Bahamas, a five-hour beach day with ferry, lunch, kayaking, snorkeling, lighthouse views, and practical booking tips.

“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.”

“The jet skis and parasailing were great. Only book this one if it’s a better deal, because there was no banana boat in site. Instead of saying something before hand, the lady waited until we got there to tell us there was no banana boat.”
