For those seeking adventure, the island has a multitude of exciting activities. Test your mettle on a thrilling zip line course, encounter stingrays in their natural habitat, or engage in water sports, such as paddle boarding or kayaking. Are you interested in seeing marine life? Rent snorkel equipment and explore the vibrant underwater world. For a unique off-island excursion, consider swimming with the pigs of the Bahamas, or take a scenic catamaran sail.

Nassau, Bahamas

Next, you'll be whisked away to Nassau, known for its awe-inspiring architecture, duty-free shopping, and rich Bahamian culture. The city is home to the world-famous Atlantis Resort, boasting a 141-acre water park, Aquaventure.

For water enthusiasts, Nassau offers an array of activities. Dive into the turquoise waters with a discovery dive course for beginners or a two-tank dive for certified divers. Anglers can look forward to a day of deep-sea fishing pursuing game fish, such as tuna, sailfish, and wahoo. For a relaxed day, consider a beach escape to Pearl Island, a snorkeling adventure, or a catamaran sail. If exploring the city is more your speed, embark on an adventurous Jeep and beach tour or delve into the local history with a walking tour or Nassau excursion.

Key West, Florida

Your weekend cruise concludes with a visit to Key West, the southernmost tip of the United States. This quaint island city is closer to Cuba than Miami, offering a unique blend of American and Caribbean cultures.

Explore Key West's history with a visit to Ernest Hemingway's home, or ride a bike or a trolley through the charming streets. Key West Aquarium and the Butterfly and Nature Conservatory offer close encounters with various unique species. The Discover Key West tour takes you on an island tour with stops at the aquarium and the Key West Shipwreck Museum. Learn how salvaging made Key West rich, and then climb the 120-foot wrecking tower for epic views of the surrounding area.

For a water-bound experience, consider a glass-bottom boat or luxury catamaran cruise.
