Pearl Island Beach Escape with Lunch

[NYcruzzer]

Just booked this excursion in Nassau on our NYE cruise on Bliss. Fist time seeing this option on NCL.. Has anyone gone on an excursion to Pearl Island ? If so how was your experience ?

 

OVERVIEW
Relax and unwind on Pearl Island, an idyllic tropical setting with plenty of amenities to ensure that your time is well spent. A short ferry ride across the harbor will bring you to the slender, meticulously maintained private island, where you will enjoy about four hours of free time to do as you please. You might start by climbing the lighthouse for the ultimate view of the island and the azure seas that surround it. Not far away, you will find two beaches that are ideal for basking in the sun and swimming just off shore. If you’d prefer to stretch out on a lounge chair, you are welcome to settle into one beneath a towering palm. Later in the day, you can indulge in an authentic Bahamian lunch that includes barbecued chicken, fish fingers and local side dishes such as pigeon peas and rice. Then round out your day by kayaking or heading to sea on a stand-up paddleboard.

 

HIGHLIGHTS
• Ride the ferry the Pearl Island, the closest private island to Nassau.
• While away the hours doing whatever you please.
• Climb the lighthouse, bask in the sun and paddle a kayak along the shore.
• Savor a hearty Bahamian BBQ lunch.

We enjoyed Pearl Island.  My advice is get a chair in the shade early and enjoy a relaxing day.  Beautiful beach and the food was good.

Also curious - trying to decide if there will be enough to occupy us, especially if it isn't particularly warm out.  Anyone know if the kayaks, etc. are included?

Sounds good.  Looking for a nice place to relax and grab a bite and a drink. Thanks for providing some feedback.
