DINING & ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE - JULY 2005
Make it fun
Great dining isn't all you'll find here
No matter how much your hotel or resort has to offer, the rest of the island offers far more in the way of adventure activities. Participate in just a few, and your holiday in The Bahamas will be unforgettable.
To find out what's available, visit the tour desk in your hotel and pick up a copy of What-to-do magazine and the Bahamas Trailblazer Maps. They're available free just about everywhere in Nassau and Paradise Island.
Get into the ocean
Don't leave the island without working in a couple of excursions that will bring you into a close encounter with the country's principal attraction: its crystal clear, warm water.
Imagine yourself tearing over this pristine sea in a powerful speedboat or sailing away to a secluded tropical island.
If you are especially adventurous, imagine yourself 50 ft down in a limitless blue heaven, face to face with a Caribbean reef shark. It's an experience you'll never forget. Stuart Cove's Dive Bahamas offers a shark dive that will make your hair stand on end, as well as a host of other, less daring, dives for people at all levels of experience.
Non-divers can snorkel or take advantage of Stuart Cove's submersible scooter known as Scenic Underwater Bubble (SUB), which is a great way for non-divers to experience the thrill of diving without the time and expense of taking a course.
Touch a dolphin
If you haven't had enough contact with marine life, Dolphin Encounters offers two dynamic encounters with some of nature's smartest mammals. The three-hour excursion to Blue Lagoon Island includes an interactive experience with bottlenose dolphins, either from a shallow platform, or swimming in the water. In the swimming encounter, the dolphins will perform the "foot push," propelling you through the water by pushing you by your feet. It's an experience you'll never forget .
Out Island thrills
Forty miles from Nassau in the Exumas is one of the prettiest cays you could imagine, complete with a deserted beach, a hilltop lookout, and a fish-feeding platform from which you can toss scraps to weirdly shaped houndfish and sleek lemon sharks.
Saddleback Cay is the destination of a day-long, all-inclusive excursion offered by Island World Adventures. The trip includes a 55 mph ride to the Exumas aboard one of two 45-ft powerboats, the Tattoo or the Ecotime, including a scrumptious Bahamian lunch on outdoor dining decks, snorkelling on a nearby reef and a stopover at Allan's Cay, where you can feed prehistoric looking iguanas.
Sailing and snorkelling
Another perfect way to enjoy the incomparable Bahamian sea is to set sail aboard the Flying Cloud, a 57-ft catamaran that sails out of the Paradise Island Ferry Terminal.
Every morning except Sunday, you can count on Captain Craig and his attentive crew to take you on a memorable 3-1/2-hour snorkelling expedition to Rose Island.
Sunday is a special day, set aside for a relaxing five-hour cruise that includes not only snorkelling but lunch, drinks and chill-out time on a private beach.
Three nights a week (Mon, Wed and Fri) there is also a 2-1/2-hr cruise in Nassau Harbour under the stars - a perfect way to build a long lasting memory of The Bahamas.
