Here some ideal Nassau travel essentials to make your Bahamas solo travel easier, if not more eco-friendly.

On New Providence Island, Nassau is the capital of The Bahamas, a country comprising of 700 islands that span 100,000 square miles across the Caribbean Sea. Since its founding by the British in 1670, Nassau has been burnt down, rebuilt, renamed and colonized, been the center of wars, pirates, slavery, international trade, and tourism.

The “gateway to The Bahamas”, New Providence and Paradise Island offer not just world-class resorts, award-winning beaches, colorful marine wildlife, and epic outdoor and water sports. Part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network, Nassau also holds art, culture, history, cuisine, festivals, shopping, and friendly locals.

Get ready to explore Nassau and realize why it is the ideal vacation destination for tropical paradise, relaxation, and diversity of exciting activities.

This itinerary assumes:

• Staying near downtown, as in my suggested Nassau downtown hotel to capture activities by foot and reduce taxi costs.
• Arriving no later than 11am to be able to start same day.
• Traveling in the peak season for longest daylight hours and the best weather for walking and enjoying outdoor activities.
• Walking considerably on concrete, dirt paths and beaches. Wearing comfortable walking shoes is ideal.

After checking in, or checking bags, at your hotel, walk to Arawak Cay to enjoy a fish fry lunch and daiquiri.

Pop into Ardastra Gardens & Wildlife Conservation Center to observe the colorful birds, animals and fauna, followed by a stroll through the Botanical Gardens for shade and greenery.

Wrap it up with a visit to John Watling’s Distillery for rum tasting or signature cocktails on the patio at sunset.

Now you’re ready to head back to the hotel for a brief change and casual dinner out at Tiki Bikini Hut on Junkanoo Beach just steps from your hotel.

Enjoy a complimentary shuttle pick up at your hotel from Stuart Cove Dive Shop to whisk you away for your morning SCUBA, or SNUBA, aquatic adventure.

Finishing by noon, take advantage of the shuttle and bypass going back to your hotel and opt for a free ride to Paradise Island instead.

Depart the shuttle at the Paradise Island Beach Club where you can grab a savory seafood lunch and local Sands beer at the outdoor friendly and fun Cabbage Beach Bistro before you walk steps down the public entrance to vast white, sandy Cabbage Beach for a nice siesta.

Before sundown, take a stroll back towards Marina Village with a stop to marvel at The Cloisters, the remnants of a 14th-century Augustinian monastery imported from Europe by William Randolph, and flowers overlooking the water.

Finish your walk at Marina Village for dinner, or shop to bide your time until you can get free evening entry to Marine Habitat at Atlantis and dine within the Atlantis complex.

Since you received a free ride to Paradise Island, you can splurge for a taxi back to your hotel.

Start day 3 in Nassau with a short morning lounge on Junkanoo Beach before walking to Harbour Central Marina and meet your Green Cay Snorkel with Sea Turtles excursion group for a couple of hours of boating and snorkeling with sea turtles and colorful fish you will never forget.

Epic Bahamian marine adventures build up an appetite. Luckily, you’ll arrive back at the marina at lunch time and a short walk to The Green Parrot for lunch on their waterfront, outdoor patio.

Don’t fill up on drinks, however. Save that for locally-made craft brews over a board game at Rip Ty’d Taproom a few minutes’ walk away.

Leave for Rum Cake Factory for tasting and buying gifts, followed by East Bay shopping downtown as you make your way back to your hotel.

Have the energy for a night out? Then call the taxi and head to Baha Mar Resort for a night of music, dining, drinks and trying your luck at the casino tables.

Enjoy another morning of relaxation at Junkanoo to save up your energy for the day’s walking.

Leave in time to meet your Nassau Bites and Sites Food & Cultural Tour group downtown for a 3 hour yummy food tour while learning about Nassau.

When finished on your gastro and cultural tour downtown, see if you have the energy to walk up Queen’s Staircase to walk around Fort Fincastle and see the views from Bennet’s Hill, Nassau’s highest point. Note: for safety reasons, visit only during the day time.

If you rather, you could opt to stay downtown and wrap up the last of your shopping at The Straw Market (closes at 5pm), before wandering back to the hotel to change for a last night out of dining near your hotel and a cocktail at the Sky Bar atop Margaritaville Resort.
