Bahamas Snorkeling
This tour will have you riding on a 72 foot long catamaran with two decks. On the way, a tour guide will tell you some of the history of Paradise Island and will point out several of its sites along the way. Once at the snorkeling site, you will don the gear that the company will provide and jump into the Nassau waters, some of the clearest in the world. After you have taken enough pictures of fish from close up to fill a scrapbook, the catamaran will take you to Rose Island, where you can get a suntan, play in the sand or take a swim. This tour will cost about $55 per person.
