A tropical getaway to Nassau Paradise Island is a bucket list experience.

If you’re looking to take your island escape to the next level and plan the ultimate vacation to Paradise, here’s a roundup of some of our must-do activities for couples.

Snorkel with Sea Turtles and Picnic on a Private Island

Hop aboard a boat with Born Free Charters and embark on a snorkeling excursion to swim among Nassau’s sea turtles, who have existed for over 150 million years. After your underwater adventure, soak up the sun and head to a private island to enjoy a picnic on Nassau’s lush beaches. The charter offers customizable half-day and full-day trips, so you can choose your personalized charter experience and incorporate other activities — such as fishing, beach hopping, and reef snorkeling — that suit your style. 

Embark on a Sunset Sail

Go on A Rum Tour

Did you really go to The Bahamas if you didn’t go on a rum tour? Have a taste of locally-made rum at Luna Rum Distillery on a guided tour. What began as a rum cake factory transformed into a distillery when Luna made the leap to fermenting, distilling, flavoring, and botting rum. They specialize in flavored rums and distill some of the finest small-batch artisan rums in The Bahamas, with daily tours and tastings offered to the public.

At the John Watling’s Distillery, visitors can sip on small-batch rums at the Buena Vista Estate, a historic property which was built in 1789. John Watling’s in Downtown Nassau features a free production and museum-like tour, shopping and signature Bahamian cocktails at its tavern.

Dine al fresco along the sandy beaches of The Bahamas at Costa at the Rosewood Baha Mar. The venue brings the flavors of Mexico to the shores of Cable Beach with inventive takes on traditional dishes. If you’re looking for a light fare oceanside dinner, visit 25 North or indulge in fresh, seasonal ingredients under the sun at Frezca.

Find your zen with a tranquil couples massage treatment at one of the island’s world-class spas.
