Just booked 5/29 cruise to the bahamas and I am now working on shore excurions. My boys want to do the Dolphin encounter. There are 2 listed: 1 in Freeport, and 1 in Nassau at Blue Lagoon. Can anyone tell me which is better?

Also, should we do the Blue Lagoon excursion or is there another beach excursion in Freeport that we should try? What about Atlantis? Keep in mind, we have 2 boys ages 9 and 6. We need to keep them from being bored to tears. Thanks.

I highly recommend Blackbeard's Cay in Nassau. We had an excellent time there. You can also go there with a Stingray Swim. Blackbeard's Cay has a snack bar, drinks, water sports, and small store, lots of chairs, a beautiful view. It was our favorite day of the cruise. Happy sailing.

I would not recommend the Dolphin encounter in Freeport. I did not do the encounter in Nassau, but I saw my cousin video of their encounter. It was way more impressive than what we did in Freeport!! There is more interaction with the Dolphins in Nassau on the tape. We were in the water with the dolphin for maybe 2 minutes. We got to pet the dolphin and they took a picture of the dolphin giving us a kiss, and then we were out of the water. Then we sat around the water and they tried to get the dolphin to do tricks. The dolphin did not want to play. I would do the encounter again, but not the one in Freeport. I hope this helps you.

sweet p,

Yes, thank you. That certainly does help. As expensive as these encounters are, I don't want to waste my time and money on it if there's not alot of interaction. I'll be sure to book in Nassau since this is the number 1 thing my boys have asked to do!


Boy, I love these boards! Thanks!
