Nassau: Sunken Sculpture Snorkeling at Pearl Island with Lunch

1. 1

   Paradise Island Ferry Terminal

   15 min · Admission included

   Check in at the Paradise Island Ferry Terminal — East Dock, behind Margaritaville, directly across from Atlantis. Meet your crew, find your seat and settle in for the short, scenic crossing to your private island.

2. 2

   Nassau Harbour

   Pass by

   Pulling away from the dock, you cruise out across Nassau Harbour — turquoise water, passing cruise ships and the Nassau and Paradise Island skyline framing the ride toward open Bahamian sea.

3. 3

   Atlantis Paradise Island Bahamas

   Pass by

   You set off directly across from the towers of Atlantis Paradise Island, then glide along the Paradise Island shoreline — a last look at the resort strip before it opens into quiet out-island water.

4. 4

   Athol Island

   Pass by

   Just before arrival, the ferry slips past Athol Island — a low, green, largely untouched cay that marks the final stretch of the crossing toward Pearl Island.

5. 5

   Pearl Island Bahamas

   1 hr

   Step ashore on Pearl Island and settle into island time. Take your first swim in the crystal-clear shallows, explore the grounds, and use the facilities before the day's program begins.

6. 6

   Pearl Island Bahamas

   45 min · Admission included

   Your day's guided snorkel is the highlight and unlike anything else in Nassau. After a short safety briefing, follow your guide out over Pearl Island's sunken sculpture trail: a submerged plane, statues and a boat resting in clear, shallow water, slowly reclaimed by coral and the fish that now live in it. All equipment is included, welcoming even for first-timers. Please note: the snorkel slot is scheduled by the crew on the day and its timing varies daily with tides and conditions.

7. 7

   Pearl Island Bahamas

   30 min · Admission included

   Refuel with a proper Bahamian BBQ lunch, served steps from the water. Cold drinks at the bar, toes in the sand.

8. 8

   Pearl Island Lighthouse

   15 min · Admission included

   Climb Pearl Island's iconic white lighthouse — the landmark from every photo of the island — for sweeping panoramic views across the reef, the surrounding cays and Nassau Harbour in the distance. It's the best photo spot on the island.

9. 9

   Pearl Island Bahamas

   2 hr · Admission included

   Now the island is yours. Relax on two white-sand beaches with complimentary chairs and shaded decks, then climb the historic lighthouse for panoramic views across Nassau Harbour and the surrounding cays.

10. 10

    Nassau

    15 min

    As the day winds down, settle in for the short, scenic ride back to Nassau — sun on your skin and the lighthouse shrinking behind you. The perfect close to a private island day.
