What to do and see in Nassau, New Providence Island: The Best Things to do Good for Couples

April 19, 2022 Cedrick Jardin

Nassau teems with Bahamian and British flavor. The capital city of the Bahamas boasts miles of spectacular beaches and stretches of vivid coral reefs perfect for snorkeling. Shop, dine, and sightsee, particularly along busy Bay Street, or if you're a James Bond fan, visit the British Colonial Hotel, which was used as a filming location for two of the Sean Connery-era movies. Visit during the famed Junkanoo Festival to experience a high-energy parade of spectacularly costumed dancers.

Blue Lagoon Island

These trained dolphins are playful and friendly, specializing in giving visitors a ride on the "dolphin surf," where one of these gentle creatures pushes you through the water with their snout.

Reviewed By MicheleHassing

This is expensive but so worth it. How many opportunities does one get to cuddle and kiss dolphins and sea lions? A once in a lifetime adventure. The island is beautiful, our host Juliano was wonderful, Precious our dolphin trainer was great, and Goombay the dolphin, Jack and Charlotte the Sea Lions and Diamond the stingray were so much fun to interact with.

When planning our trip to the Atlantis resort we weren't sure what was open and what was closed. This review will reflect what was open at Aquaventure during our trip the week of March 20th 2021. Acquaventure water park - The water park was operating at a reduced capacity during our stay. You were always able to find plenty of seating through out the day. The Mayan Temple slides, (Serpent Slide, Challenger Slides, Jungle Slides and The Leap of Faith) were open four days a week (Sun, Mon, Wed, Fri) and the Power Tower slides (The Abyss, The Surge, The Drop and The Falls) and The Current (Rapids River surrounding the Power Tower) were open three days a week (Tues, Thur, Sat). The Splashers pool was open every day. The Baths Colonnade Pool, the pool complexes at the Coral and Beach towers were closed. We were able to use all beaches including the Cove Beach. Lines were minimal at all slides during our week. We had a great time each day at the water slide and other attractions. The lifeguards are fun and entertaining, the pool wait staff hustles and are eager to serve. We want to call out Don one of the pool wait staff! He saw me walking to get food and said what do you want and I’ll get it for you. I said, “we’re sitting way over there, over the river and through the woods” (there wasn’t a food location open where we were sitting) He said no problem! I’ll find you. I gave him our order and he tracked us down, literally over the rapids river and across the beach! He came back later and asked if we needed anything else and then found us the next day again. Use the pool wait staff. They are eager to serve and glad to be back working. Give them a little extra to support them and their family who have just experienced almost a year of no work. There were plenty of pools and attractions open during our stay to ensure the days were eventful. We had a great time at Aquaventure!

I walked with tour guide Vernita through the park, remains of slave quarters and family houses, and into a garden of local plants and medicinal herbs. She made these stories come alive and told them with compassion through all the contradictions of history. Wishing her well and looking forward to going back to visit this meaningful and visually stunning place. It was my favorite place in Nassau - great for contemplation, quiet, and watching a breathtaking sunset against the ocean cliffs.

A lovely spot away from the hustle and bustle of Atlantis on the way to the Ocean Club Golf Course and very close to The Ocean Club hotel. Worth a walk around the place and down to the water.
