Suggestions for Family of 5 that aren't that excited about Nassau (water related)

[LSKC]

WE've been to Nassau. I really wish NCL would scrap it and do their own private island or a different location. That being said... we only do 3 port stops with Escape (Jan 2018) and so we will want to get off the ship if even for a few hours. We are in port late (12pm-7pm) so odd timing for group excursions.

 

Looking for suggestions. Would love something simple that we don't have to walk through market or miles to a beach... pick up and drop off at port either by taxi or boat would be ideal. Of course everything costs a bunch when there are 5 of us. I'd like to keep it around $300 max unless its a really great adventure/fun for the family. My kids will be age 17, 14, and 9.

 

Our other 2 ports are St Thomas (doing a beach - likely Sapphire or going over to St. John Trunk/Cinnamon) and Tortola (another beach day with snorkelling from beach - probably Brewers). A boat adventure might be fun - doesn't need to be private since we are trying to not spend a ton.

 

thanks.

Maybe a Catamaran? Seems like a few of those might be in your price range. I did a Bike Tour through Bahamas Outdoors a few years back, but I think she just does bird watching and tours (although if you're into that, she'd be a great guide).
