The Best of Bahamas Accessible Shore Excursion offers the most popular accessible experiences in Nassau. You’ll experience the best of the Bahamas all in one day! This accessible shore excursion begins at the cruise dock where your experienced guide/driver will meet you in a comfortable, air conditioned accessible van, which can accommodate manual wheelchairs, electric wheelchairs, power chairs, and mobility scooters.

The Best of Bahamas excursion starts with a 2 hour accessible driving tour that serves as a great introduction to the Nassau’s history and culture. Escorted by your friendly local tour guide, you admire popular sites such as Fort Fincastle, Governor’s Mansion, Queens Staircase and Parliament Square. You will also stop to enjoy an interior visit to the fascinating Fort Charlotte. 

The guide/driver will then take you to your scheduled accessible swim with dolphins encounter, which is included in the Best of Bahamas Accessible Shore Excursion. The Accessible Swim with the Dolphins experience is a one of a kind opportunity you don’t want to miss! You’ll cherish this unique chance to interact with these playful and intelligent marine mammals.

The program opens with an entertaining orientation, which covers a dolphin’s anatomy, the history of dolphins, training techniques, fascinating dolphin facts, and much more.

You’ll then have the opportunity to pet, play, hug, kiss, and swim with dolphins. Trainers, familiar with the needs of limited mobility participants, will assist you with each step of the interaction. The “can-do” attitude and patience of the carefully selected dolphin trainers make this a pleasant and exciting setting for all limited mobility participants!

Family and friends who are not taking part in the accessible dolphin program may observe from a wheelchair accessible viewing area.

Some specific dolphin encounter activities will depend on the accessibility needs of the individual. Contact us to discuss your specific accessibility needs. Please note: You must have a companion who can assist you into and out of the water.

After your dolphin experience, the tour guide/driver will take you back to the cruise ship.
