Blue Lagoon Beach w/ Animal Encounters or Stuart Cove Sub adventure ?

[Daisymae14]

Heading to Nassau in December, taking my boys on first cruise. Which excursion would be better, getting most for the time and money.  Not sure we can do both in same day. 8am-9pm. Positives and negatives please!

Since you are going in December, be aware that it gets dark around 4:30.

Dolphin Encounter ends at 4, and generally the same for Stuart Cove.   Each of these are at the opposite end of the island.   Doubt you could make both.

Water will start to be chilly this time of year.   Dolphin Encounter will have wetsuits for free.  You would have to rent them for Stuart Cove.

I'd opt for Dolphin Encounter.

@scubagirrl, Oh yea, I didn't think about the time it starts to get dark! Thank you very much! Maybe I could talk them into letting me pay for a sea lion encounter while we are there? I want to do that one for myself 😊.  Thank you again!

You should book all animal encounters before you go.   They fill up months in advance.

I figured that.. ugh.. Ok! Thank you!!

We did the Dolphin Encounter.  I also would choose that.

Thank you!

Please reconsider the animal encounters. These animals should not be captive. There are beautiful beaches in the Bahamas and lots of animals to see in the wild.
