Nassau Excursion Options

[Samanthac25]

We will have one day in Nassau over Christmas week. What is a better use of our time - Atlantis is Blue Lagoon Island? I will be traveling with my 14 yr old daughter if that makes a difference 🙂

Depends on what want to do. Atlantis for water park/Aquarium/Animal encounter . Blue lagoon is more of a beach day ,where they also have animal encounters  ( Dolphin swim, Sea lion  interaction, ect.) I think Blue lagoon does a better job  with the Animal encounters if that's what you are looking to do. Also Atlantis is way more expensive.

Just remember that the water temp in late December in Nassau will be lower, around 75° F. If it is cloudy or rainy, it will be pretty chilly to have a total water day planned. Blue Lagoon was a lot of fun for us in a September visit, but we were in the water almost all day. Atlantis has beaches and the water park, but there is also a great catacombs-like aquarium and other places to visit that are more indoors. 

 

Other people will have to tell you how the fees compare, and the extent of the tour at Atlantis because we have only explored it while staying there.
