700 Islands Adventure tours

700 Islands Adventure Tours operates from Bayshore Marina on Nassau's eastern waterfront, offering guided boat-based excursions into the waters around New Providence and beyond. Their perfect 5. 0 Google rating across 50 reviews reflects an operator that delivers what families actually want from a Bahamian water experience: genuine access to marine life, remote sandbars, and clear water without the cruise-ship-crowd density of mass tourism products.

Tours typically combine multiple experiences — snorkeling over coral reefs, stops at sandbars for swimming, shark encounters in shallow water, and visits to uninhabited cays that most Nassau visitors never reach. The boat-based format means you're covering significant water and changing environments throughout the experience, which keeps kids engaged rather than bored at a single location.

The operator runs 7 days a week from 8 AM to 6 PM, making it accessible for day visitors arriving on cruise ships or travelers with limited time in Nassau. The Bayshore Marina location at 64 E Bay Street is easy to reach from Nassau's waterfront hotel district.

For families, this works best for kids 7 and older who have at least basic water comfort. Life jackets are provided for all ages. Snorkeling sections require putting your face in the water — kids who've practiced snorkeling before the trip will get significantly more out of the reef portions.

Reach them at (242) 467-0502 or book at 700adventtours.com. They fill up during Nassau's busy season (December-April) and around school holiday periods.
