About this tour
Most Nassau beach days mean crowds and shared loungers. This is the opposite: Your cabana is yours alone — a private, shaded ocean-view base reserved just for your group, where a personal server looks after you all day, keeping the drinks coming and bringing a freshly cooked Bahamian lunch right to your loungers. No queues, no sharing, no rush.
When you do feel like moving, the island is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Swim out with a guide to a vivid coral reef alive with tropical fish, glide along the shoreline by kayak or paddleboard, cool off on the water mats or wander between two quiet white-sand beaches. Climb Pearl Island's iconic lighthouse for panoramic views over the turquoise harbour, then head straight back to the comfort of your cabana.
It's the calm, premium way to experience the Bahamas — the only private island a short ferry ride from Nassau, just minutes from the cruise port, with an exclusivity the big group excursions simply can't match.
