 | |  |  | Boats & Water Sports: Get out on your own! | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
If you are looking for an adventure, instead of following along behind a noisy, expensive, annoying tour group or as the cruise lines like to call it a 'shore excursion', here are some tips for Nassau: 1. First, do some research before you get there. Look at lots of maps of the island of New Providence and try to find out where everything is that you would like to do. If you get acquanted with the lay of the land before you get there, it becomes less frightening to strike off on your own. -Also, look for bus schedules and maps of where the buses run if you want to be immediately immersed in the culture by taking a jitney. 2. Talk to the local people once you get there. Ask them where things are, and what THEY like to do for fun on their island. Remember, they LIVE there. 3. Stop off on your journey if you see something that looks interesting. This may be the best part of getting out on your own. You don't have to wait for a tour group and so you can stop where you want and go where you want. When my husband and I took the bus up past Cable Beach we saw Fort Charlotte on the top of a hill overlooking the road, and we stopped immediately and got off the bus, and then later we got back on another bus as it came along. The buses come along every 10-15 minutes. 4. Finally, just get out of Nassau and see the rest of the island. Nassau is not the only town in New Providence Island.

A day trip to Exuma Cays in a quick catamaran. We have a very nice day in beatiful uninhabited island, interacting with iguanas, stingrays and baby sharks. Half way to Exuma you stop to feed the Iguanas in a little cay with their favorite food: grapes. You will need a branch to give them the grapes without putting in danger your fingers... Really, no danger at all, your follow the guide instructions and it would be really fun! Arriving to Exuma, if you want you can feed the Sting Rays by your hands (you can always watch and take photos if you don't feel in the mood). Was also great. After that the guide will feed the baby sharks, you can be really close if you want and it's really interesting. Time for snorkeling then, always the chance for sunbathing and beach if you don't want to snorkeling. There are big water flowings in Exuma, so you have to be careful and follow always the guide instructions. Very different experience of the other snorkeling I've done at Nassau or other trips, more "wild"... take care if you are with childrens. After this they prepare a nice meal (fish, hot dogs, ribs, fresh fruit... all drinks included all day) and free time for bath until departure time. There are two nice inhabitants of the island for turist fun: two wild pigs that arrive to the beach after lunch. Be careful with the bags you leave at the beach because they like to search for food in everything they find!!! Website: http://www.powerboatadventures.com/
