About Nassau Attractions
Uncover the culture and history of the Bahamas through guided tours and activities on the land and in the waters surrounding Nassau and Paradise Island. Take a walk and explore side-street art galleries and cafes in downtown, the heart of the country’s legal and business community. As a former British colony, the country offers a unique blend of European and African traditions. Take advantage of high tea at Government House or learn how intricate, colorful costumes are made for the local street festival known as Junkanoo—a slave festival celebrated in the early morning hours on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. The Bahamas is where Columbus first anchored in the New World in 1492 and the islands have a past filled with stories of charismatic pirates and buccaneers. A more adventurous day spent on the water is a must on any itinerary. From boating to snorkeling, deep-sea fishing to scuba diving, even swimming with sharks is possible during your stay in Nassau. Powerboat companies make it easier to experience the nearby islands with day-away adventures to barely populated beaches. You can be at a bustling resort in the morning and have lunch castaway-style on a deserted beach. Larger resorts kick nightlife in to high gear with nightclubs, casinos and live entertainment. Schedule your trip when a big name act is set to perform in the island paradise.
