karenemily Posted February 25, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I am going to a RCI cruise at the end of March. We dock at 2pm and will be in town until Midnight. One of the cruise line tours is swimming with the turtles. Are there any local groups that might be worth looking into or should we stick with the ship excursion? Thanks!

Rare CruisinCrow Posted February 27, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2020 In the Bahamas? I haven't heard of any turtle excursions in the Bahamas. Can you post the excursion description? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubagirrl Posted February 27, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 27, 2020 At that time of day, you should go with the cruise tour. It's unlikely that any regular tour operator will go out that late. Most afternoon tours leave around 1pm/1:30 so you will miss them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post the excursion description? Sure thing. Here is the write up: Board a boat and take a scenic cruise in the Nassau harbor. You will get a mask, snorkel, fins and vest at no additional cost. You will have a unique opportunity to snorkel with Turtles and a Reef. After your snorkel, you will have an opportunity to briefly enjoy the beach at Green Cay. You will also see Sandy Cay (Gilligan’s Island) from a distance. This is a must do snorkel adventure in Nassau Bahamas. NSP4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruisinCrow Posted February 29, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Interesting! I haven't heard of this before. If you decide to do it, I hope you'll come back and give a review. I agree with Scubagirrl, with your late port time, you will be better off going through the cruise line. They probably have special arrangements for a late afternoon trip.
