Nassau Blue Lagoon Island Beach Excursion Reviews

Next to snorkeling on Tortola, this was our second favorite excursion. The weather was perfect! We opted to pay extra once on the island for the VIP area ($56 per couple), which offered a buffet, a couple of free drinks, lots of cold water, shaded chairs, and a personal valet. It was worth the price since it also meant far fewer people swimming in the private beach area. The public areas were pretty packed since there were people from five different cruise ships and hotels on the island at the same time. Read Less

Beautiful island and fun boat ride over. We enjoyed watching the dolphins and I wish we had booked a dolphin swim or encounter. We also saw sea lions and stingrays. Lunch was included and was pretty good. Even though it was a busy day at Blue Lagoon, there were plenty of chairs and tubes to use. Read Less

The beach is amazing but it take ~1 hour to get there. So you only wind up having 2 hours at the beach. disappointing. Read Less

The boat ride over was very entertaining, the tender crew were awesome. The island was neat clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The included lunch was fantastic and they had plenty of tenders backmtomthe main island for shopping and site seeing. Read Less

What a beautiful place! Water was so pretty, got to walk around and see the dolphins do their tricks. Drinks were good (service was slow) but the boat ride there was my favorite! Read Less

Beautiful island and away from all the hustle and bustle of town Read Less

Excellent beach, beautiful waters - lots of fun. Read Less

AWESOME day! Great experience! Beautiful day, lovely boat ride with tour, and the island was lovely with beach chairs, lunch, paid bar, and paid water toys. Highly recommend! Read Less

The boat ride to and back from the Island was pleasant with some really active and friendly staff. The staff on the island itself were horrible that they keep on asking if you're done with your plates WHILE I'm still eating. The water park center staff were also really rude that they took the life vests that we rented and paid for from our chairs and said that we stole them. Read Less

The lagoon is quite beautiful and a great place to swim. However, more than half of our 4 hour was spent waiting in line or in transit. The entire thing was so not even close to worth it. It felt like we were cattle being herded from the time we got off the boat and this continued through the "lunch" line at the island. I would NEVER go on this excursion again and reported this to the NCL staff. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Read Less

excellent, no questions about it, just book it. Beautiful beach, very acceptable lunch, drinks extra, new chairs, lots of fun. Read Less

Lovely beach break and food was fine. Managed to get tubes for relaxing early on, then put them back for others to use as there weren't many, but others didn't so there was a shortage! For the price, umbrellas and aqua park could have been included, though the extra charge did mean the aqua park was quiet. Read Less

very private VIP area. staff was friendly, light lunch was good. beach area was rocky. it was a pleasant place to relax in the sun but not much beyond that, so not sure the value was there for the price we paid. Read Less

Lovely spot to chill. With our little guy we stayed at the family beach on the lagoon. Weather was perfect. We rented 2 beach umbrellas ($25 each) which came with 2 drinks each. magic moment - drinking our Bahama Mamas on a beautiful, sunny, warm day with a light Caribbean breeze, turquoise blue water. Life doesn't get much better than that. Read Less

Calm shallow water was great for my 4 year old. We brought water wings. There were inner tubes and some other water floaties around for free. The lunch was good. Able to walk through where the dolphins and other sea creatures were without buying the excursion, that was enough for us. Read Less

Very well organized, the only complaint would be the walk from the ship to their boat to go to the island. It was kind of hard for some of our group, due to the distance. Also once on the island, the prices are quite high. Read Less

Ferry from port to Blue Lagoon, cocktails, swimming, gear to rent if you want, beautiful beaches, lunch of hot dog, hamburger or chicken sandwich. Good. So beautiful, very friendly people. Read Less

Second time doing this excursion. It's quite a bit more commercialized since we were last hear on a RCL cruise years ago, but still very enjoyable. Read Less

Tubes are free if you get there early enough to get one, lunch was good and included fried plantains (yum!). Location is beautiful and safe - able to see dolphins up close. Staff are top notch. Inflatable park looked fun and was only $15 pp extra. Read Less

The "Blue Lagoon" excursion (which I had done before) had friendly, helpful staff and a wonderful physical environment, especially if you have kids. The lagoon is not very deep at all and is very safe for the little rodents to splash around in. Snorkeling there is okay for those of us with experience, but only at high tide. For kids learning to snorkel, it's an excellent, safe environment and they'll see plenty of little fish. The lunch was typical buffet fare and the burgers were good. Bring your credit card so you can order drinks. If you like dark beer, they have Guinness Stout, something the cruise ship didn't have. Read Less

, we booked an excursion to Blue Lagoon Island and it did not disappoint. My sister and fellow-traveler visited this location in the 90's and it was just beautiful. Carnival could take some pointers from the way they have things set up -- multiple kinds of places to enjoy the beach (beachfront, lagoon-front, and small-inlet-front) with a plethora of chairs and plenty of filtered shade and sunny areas. The meal offered with the excursion was similar to the private island BBQ, but what a difference! Burgers were moist and delicious; there were several local recipes offered (fried plaintain and rice dishes and delicious jerk chicken). We also had an opportunity to interact with the dolphins for less than $20!?! That was for a "dolphin kiss" and a photo (on a CD!) for just $19.99. Since there were only 3 of us, our guide ended up giving us the rest of the dolphin encounter for free. It was amazing. I also appreciated the way they "keep" the dolphins here -- they are free to swim out to sea, if they like, but they are tagged and monitored if they do so. I felt it was a good balance of caring for marine animals while letting us enjoy them. Five stars for this excursion to Blue Lagoon Island. Read Less

Run down beach. VIP beach is the only good beach. Lunch is hamburger and ice tea. Don’t go. Read Less

Nice excursion. Lunch was included. Very clean and enjoyable beach. Read Less

Pretty average, resort under construction. Would not bother again unless you want to do dolphin interaction but there are better resorts for just using beach amenities Read Less

The water was dirty and the beach was tiny. We took our own beach toys. It’s not great for toddlers. Read Less
