About
Bahamas Land and Sea Tours — known as BLAST — operates out of Bayshore Marina at 308 East Bay Street, giving them a genuine waterfront base rather than just a parking lot with a van. That marina location means boat access is built into what they do, not an afterthought.
With a 4.8 Google rating from 28 reviews and a 7-days-a-week schedule from 7 AM to 7 PM, they're one of the more operationally flexible Nassau tour operators. Families who need to work around cruise ship schedules, resort check-in times, or kids' nap schedules appreciate not being locked into a single departure time.
The combination of land and sea activities is the core appeal. On a typical day, a family might cover Nassau's historic downtown by vehicle, stop at Fort Charlotte or the Queen's Staircase, and then shift to a boat-based excursion to a nearby cay or reef. That variety keeps kids engaged in a way that a three-hour bus tour simply can't.
For younger kids (6-9), the variety helps a lot — they're less likely to hit a wall if the activities change every hour or so. Older kids and teens who specifically want water time can focus their booking on the marine-heavy options.
Book at blast242.com or call (242) 449-7201. Confirm what's included in your specific package and whether gear like snorkel equipment is provided or if you need to bring your own.
