Itinerary: Five Water Activities to Try

Explore the fascinating underwater sights of Atlantis during this 60-minute snorkelling adventure! After a brief orientation, you’ll have the rare opportunity to snorkel the Ruins Lagoon alongside spotted rays, thousands of tropical fish, and sunken ruins and artefacts.
Inspired by the lost city of Atlantis, this 2.7 million-gallon marine habitat is also home to open-water marine species such as jacks, snappers, and spiny lobster.

Best of all, you’ll be supporting the Atlantis Blue Project Foundation — a non-profit organisation dedicated to saving sea species and their extraordinary habitats throughout The Bahamas.

Guests of Baha Mar have direct access to Baha Bay waterpark — designed to combine relaxing island chill with exhilarating fun for the entire family. Set on 15 beachfront acres, it offers a wide variety of water activities including a high-speed water coaster, free-fall slides, a lazy river, and much more. You can also ride the tides in a 500,000-gallon wave pool, or experience the thrill of surfing (with no lessons required) on the state-of-the-art FlowCurl™ surf simulator. And if you’re travelling with little ones, Turtle Beach is a great choice for the kids to splash, slide, and play all day. 

You don’t need to know how to snorkel or scuba dive to enjoy the SNUBA experience at Stuart Cove’s Dive Bahamas! Explore a world of underwater wonders as you “breathe through a simple-to-use regulator while your air supply floats on a comforting support raft at the surface.” Participants receive a brief orientation on how to SNUBA and what to expect during the tour. Even if you only have basic swimming skills, you can still do SNUBA, making it an excellent activity for virtually every age group.

Stuart Cove’s also offers diving experiences for beginners and experts alike, plus snorkelling excursions for those who prefer to stick to the water’s surface.

Feeling the wind in your hair, checking out spectacular views, and breathing in the fresh sea air. There are plenty of things to love about sailing in The Bahamas, but why not try something a little different and enjoy a catamaran cruise instead? Flying Cloud Catamaran Cruises offers a variety of catamaran experiences on the water, such as half-day sailing and snorkelling cruises, evening cruises, and dinner cruises.

Each cruise includes round-trip transportation from your hotel to the departure point at Paradise Island Ferry Terminal. Sit back, relax, and simply soak in the beauty of The Bahamas. 

Our Bahamian waters are rich with marlin, tuna, and mahi-mahi, among many other fish. So it’s only natural that one of the best ways to have an unforgettable experience on the water here is to charter a fishing boat — where you’ll enjoy a thrilling day at sea and the chance to reel in a trophy catch.

Friendly crews of expert anglers will guide you to the best fishing spots around Nassau & Paradise Island and provide helpful tips for a successful day on the water. Try First Strike Charters or Chubasco Fishing Charters with its “guaranteed fish — no splash, no cash” policy for full-day charters.
