The Perfect 3 Day Itinerary for Nassau Bahamas

Fancy yourself a long weekend in the Bahamas? Three days is the perfect amount of time to go gallivanting around on a Caribbean island. And if you have your eye on the Bahamas, Nassau is the perfect place to hang your hat for a spell. Some visitors to the island may only have the opportunity to spend a few hours exploring this charming port city, and others are lucky enough to be here for longer. With all the amazing Nassau excursions on offer, putting three-day itinerary together can seem like a bit of a task. Worry not, we’ve got the recipe for the perfect three-day holiday, full of fabulous Nassau excursions, all guaranteed to have you wanting more!

Day 1

First, get yourself acquainted with this historic city. Nassau is one of the most historic cities in Caribbean. It was once home to the world’s highest concentration of pirates in the world including Black Beard and Henry Morgan. But all that swashbuckling talk aside, the city of Nassau is home to a beautiful 11-acre Botanical Garden, a lively market teeming with beautiful Bahamian handicrafts, a historic Fort and of course the splendid parliamentary buildings. Once you’ve shopped ‘til you dropped and taken in all the sights of Nassau on the ground, it’s time for some active Nassau excursions. Want to get your feet wet, but don’t want to commit yourself to a full fledged snorkeling or diving excursion just yet? Get a bird’s eye view and soar 600 feet above Nassau on a parasailing adventure. Once you’ve seen beyond the horizon, and felt the tepid Caribbean breeze on your face, it’s time to come back down to earth for a little R&R time. End your day with a beach combing session on the beach at Cable Beach followed by dinner at any number of fabulous restaurants along the waterfront.

Day 2

Now it’s really time to get your feet wet! With a number of fantastic underwater Nassau excursions to choose from, you’ll be hard pressed to choose just one. But with only three days to see and do as much as you can, go with a combination tour or just pick one really great tour. The Barefoot Sailing All Day Island Cruise whisks guests away to the beautiful seascape off the coast of New Providence Island. Sunbathe on the deck, and feel the warmth of the Caribbean sun as the crew mans the jib. The six hour journey is the most popular of all sailing Nassau excursions, both because of the amount of time you actually spend sailing (3 hours) as well as the time on the reef, the delicious Bahamian lunch provided and the time spent on your own secluded beach.

Day 3

Today is the day you get more acquainted with one of the most intelligent creatures anywhere on earth, and in the sea! It’s time to head off to Blue Lagoon to partake in the Blue Lagoon Dolphin Encounter, one of the most sought after and most beloved of all the Nassau excursions. This tour gives you the opportunity to learn all bout the indigenous Bottle nose dolphin, a highly intelligent and playful sea mammal that loves nothing more than to frolic around with its kin. It’s curiosity is immediately apparent as you wade in to touch and play with them. A professional photographer is on hand to capture every incredible moment, and a videographer catches it all in real time. Once you finished regaling your dolphin tales, it’s time to wind down, and say goodbye. But before you do, dress in your Bahamian best, and spend an evening aboard a beautiful catamaran. There’s no end to the perfect Bahamas holiday than a Bahamas Sunset Cruise.

This three day itinerary is but a sample of some of the amazing Nassau excursions on offer. You can tweak it, add to it, make it simpler or do whatever you want with it. Time is on your side in the Caribbean, all you have to do is get into the right state of mind.
