Nassau Water Taxi

The water taxi that makes the short trip across the harbor between Nassau and Paradise Island is an affordable way to see both islands if you don't have a car to cross the bridge. The boarding docks are convenient - within easy walking distance - to downtown Nassau and its cruise ship docks and also to the resorts and shops of Paradise Island. Cost for passage is $4 each one way. Don't expect a luxury ride, but it's comfortable enough for the 20-minute crossing. Along the way, a guide narrates the sights, pointing out famous homes that belong or did belong to Nicholas Cage, Mick Jagger and Denzel Washington. Boats run every half-hour from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
