Mikeb1892 Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Wondering what's available to do/see that you'd recommend for first timers that has no or very little cost? I collect casino chips so I know at a minimum I'll be getting a $1 chip from there? Are any of the aquariums free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 You can access the Marina Village, casino, restaurants, shopping arcade, and common areas of Atlantis at no charge. You would have to pay for tickets/passes to visit the pools, water attractions, and aquarium exhibits. Mikeb1892 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PG Cruiser Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 I'd say a visit to Atlantis is good for first time visitors to Nassau. It's free to do sightseeing and picture taking in the areas that @Matt has mentioned in his post. After my first time visit, I've only gone to Atlantis when there were newbies in our group. We'd get a local driver to take us there and come back for us at an agreed time. The last time I was there in June 2019, our group and a lot of people on the three ships docked there had a hard time getting a ride. There were not enough van/taxis to provide service for tourists.

wstephensi Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 You can book a day excursion direct from Atlantis. I'd book on the Atlantis site prior to your trip. I tried to get into the Dig several years ago, but it was sold out on the ship and at the Atlantis box office. Mikeb1892 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of Taxi's at the port and they take you right to entrance. There is also a water taxi that leaves from close to the port, but the Atlantis dock is a little bit of a walk up to the resort.

Mikeb1892 Posted March 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Thinking of grabbing a cab from the port to Atlantis, explore the resort, then take a private tour of Nassau (that was booked ahead of time with a scheduled pickup at Atlantis). Any thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
