Safety of Touring Nassau

[lynnie23]

How safe is it to get off the ship and tour for two women on their own?

Daytime, you'll be fine. Just like in any city, there are some scammers etc. Just keep you money close, and stay where there are other people.
In the evening, don't venture too far without a cab. You can walk along the wharf til about 10ish, after that, I'd take a cab.

Have a great time.

Hang a right just beyond the hairbraid pavillion is the horse surry pavillion, go further and you hit the straw market.

These carriage tours are very well regulated and nice. During summer, they don't operate in the hot afternoon hours in deference to the animals.

It is a nice safe photogenic way to see the town before hitting the beach...
