Where do cruise ship passengers meet for Nassau boat excursions?

We meet at Woodes Rogers Walk, just a 5-minute walk from Prince George Wharf. All tours depart from and return to Nassau Harbour — no transfers needed.

Which tour is best for cruise ship passengers in Nassau?

Most cruise passengers choose the 4-hour private tour — you get sea turtles, swimming pigs, snorkeling and a beach stop, with plenty of time before all-aboard. The 6-hour tour is ideal if your ship is in port all day.

What is included in the Nassau cruise excursion?

Your private boat, captain and first mate, all snorkel gear, life vests, cooler with ice, and non-alcoholic drinks. Just bring sunscreen and swimwear.

Are these tours private for cruise ship groups?

Yes, 100% private. Your group — whether it is 2 people or 10 — is the only group on the boat. No strangers, no shared excursions.

What if my cruise ship has an early all-aboard time?

We build every itinerary around your all-aboard time. Just let us know your ship's schedule when you book and we will have you back at the port with time to spare.

How do I book a Nassau cruise ship excursion?

Book directly online using the buttons on this page, or contact us via WhatsApp or the inquiry form. We recommend booking at least a few days in advance, especially during cruise season.

The Best Nassau Shore Excursion — Private, Not Packaged

Most cruise ship excursions in Nassau put you on a bus with 40 strangers. Reel Adventure Tours does the opposite: a fully private boat chartered exclusively for your group, departing directly from Nassau Harbour just minutes from the cruise pier.

Whether you have 4 hours or 6 hours before your ship sails, our Nassau private boat charters are designed around cruise ship schedules. We’ll confirm your all-aboard time when you book and make sure you’re back at the dock with time to spare.

Cruise Excursion FAQs

How far is Reel Adventure Tours from the Nassau cruise terminal?

We operate from Nassau Harbour, less than a mile from Prince George Wharf where most cruise ships dock. It’s a short walk along the waterfront or a quick 5-minute taxi ride. We’ll send you exact meeting point instructions when you book.

What if my cruise ship has a 4pm all-aboard? Which tour should I choose?

A 4pm all-aboard gives you plenty of time for either tour. We recommend the 6-hour adventure if your ship docks by 9–10am. If you dock later, the 4-hour island hopping tour is the perfect fit. Just tell us your schedule when booking and we’ll confirm the best option.

Is this a private excursion or will we be with other cruise passengers?

100% private. Your charter is exclusively for your group — whether that’s 2 people or 12. You set the pace, choose the stops, and enjoy the Bahamas without sharing the experience with strangers.

What happens if the weather is bad or the sea is rough?

Your safety comes first. We monitor conditions closely and will contact you if we need to make any changes. In the event of unsafe conditions, we offer a full rebook or refund. Nassau typically enjoys calm, clear conditions year-round.

Can we see swimming pigs on a Nassau cruise excursion?

Yes — the famous swimming pigs are one of our signature stops and are included in both the 4-hour and 6-hour tours. Nassau’s swimming pigs at Rose Island are one of the most unique wildlife experiences in the Caribbean, and we visit them on every charter.

Do you cater for families with young children?

Absolutely. Our private charters are perfect for families — children love the swimming pigs, snorkeling, and beach stops. Life jackets and floatation devices are provided for all ages. Just let us know the ages of any children when booking so we can prepare appropriately.
