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.
