About
Made in Water Excursions runs snorkeling, underwater photography, and diving trips out of Coral Harbour on the southwestern side of Nassau. With a perfect 5-star rating across 206 reviews, this is one of the highest-rated marine tour operators in the Bahamas and the quality shows in how the tours are structured. The Bahamian reef systems they visit are genuinely spectacular — clear water, high visibility, and abundant marine life including rays, sea turtles, and colorful reef fish.
For families, the snorkeling tours are the main draw: kids who can swim and are comfortable putting their faces in the water will have an unforgettable experience. The underwater photography service sets this operator apart from most. Rather than handing you a GoPro and wishing you luck, their team captures professional shots of your kids swimming with fish and coral, giving you photos worth framing rather than shaky video that never gets watched again.
The Coral Harbour location is on the south side of Nassau, so plan for a 20–30 minute drive from downtown or the cruise port. Morning departures are strongly preferred for calm water and the best visibility — afternoon conditions can deteriorate. The operator also provides coaching and equipment, so no prior snorkeling experience is needed.
This is the kind of experience that makes a Nassau trip feel genuinely memorable rather than just a day at the beach.

Why Kids Love It
Made in Water takes families out to real Bahamian reef systems where kids can snorkel over coral and spot tropical fish in their natural habitat. The underwater photo service is genuinely special — your kids come home with professional shots of themselves swimming with the ocean, not just a GoPro clip.
Pro Tips from Parents
- Morning tours (departures before noon) have the best visibility and calmest conditions
- The underwater photography package is worth adding — the professional shots are far better than anything a parent can capture from above
- Kids who are nervous in open water can practice snorkeling in a pool the day before to build confidence
What to Bring
- Reef-safe sunscreen only — chemical sunscreen is banned on reef tours
- Motion sickness medication if your child is prone to boat sickness
- Snacks and a refillable water bottle for the boat ride
