UPDATE:  As of this writing, we are unable to give a re-opening date.   Many factors are at play and as soon as we can we will update accordingly. 

Harbour Safaris is re-opening after being closed due to the Covid-19 worldwide pandemic. As we plan our reemergence we would like to keep you up to date how we will move forward.  We have worked with and are following the guidelines from the Ministry of Tourism, and supplementing them with our own to keep our staff and guests as safe and happy as possible.

Even before we closed, we have upgraded our fleet to remove the RIBS from service.  These boats have served us well as we started but we have outgrown them.  One was sold to IDEA, a rapid-response team in post-disaster situations such as Hurricane Dorian.

We have all adjusted to life with social distancing, masks, PPE, cleanliness and hygiene.  These concepts will be formalized in policies and available for our guests to review.  Our staff will be properly educated and trained, be them our support staff or onboard crew.

Our boats have always had smaller capacities designed to give a better tour experience, and we will keep this concept along with allowing space for various parties.  The boats will continue to be cleaned and maintained before and after each excursion, with additional cleaning between stops.

We will continue to visit our favourite places including:

• The Exuma Swimming Pigs
• Meeks Patch & Spanish Wells
• Rose Island
• Highbourne Cay
• Staniel Cay
• Beaches and coves throughout the Exuma Cays

Our convenient and private boarding location allows us more control and less crowding than public boarding areas.  We are still conveniently located near:

• Atlantis
• Paradise Island
• Downtown Nassau
• BahaMar
• The Point
• Nassau Cruise Ship Port
• Sandals
• Breezes
• Most AirBNB’s are all a short taxi ride away

We also look forward to offering new experiences throughout the Bahamas Islands.

We thank you for your patronage and look forward to seeing you soon!

This fun couple joined us back in May on two of our Harbour Safaris tours!

Rose Island Beach & Snorkel Tour

Terminamos en Rose Island para disfrutar de un mar excepcionalmente celeste, snacks y cervezas locales. En pocas palabras: Relajo total, yo sé que tú te lo mereces.

Exuma Swimming Pigs Excursion

Existen varias teorías que explican por qué estos cerditos llegaron al medio de la nada, en una isla alejada de la civilización. A un paraíso exótico.  La más aceptada es que una embarcación los transportaba para luego comérselos. Los marinos los dejaron en la isla y volverían por ellos, pero naufragaron.  Sean cual sean sus raíces, ahí viven felices, libres y muy bien alimentados.

…

A lo que vinimos: Pig Beach. Fuimos los primeros en llegar (estratégicamente nuestro tour programó llegar antes que otros operadores para que el grupo tenga más tiempo a solas con los chanchitos). Desembarcamos en una playa pequeña con unos 15 cerditos aproximadamente. Algunos en la arena, otros en el mar. Eso sí, ninguno quieto, todos de un lado para el otro. Unos locos.

There’s no doubt about it – 2017 has been a busy and anxiety-inducing Hurricane Season.

For us in and around the Caribbean, Hurricane Irma and Maria wreaked particular havoc.

Having said that, we in New Providence, and most of the Northern Bahamas Islands have been incredibly lucky throughout this very active hurricane season. In fact, all of the islands within Harbour Safaris operations were largely unaffected and have returned to business as normal, with little interruption.

Hurricane season officially closes November 2^nd, but don’t think you need to wait until then to visit us. We are currently taking bookings and running trips for our Exuma Swimming Pigs Excursions and, our recently launched, Spanish Wells Beach Pigs Excursions.

Thank you all for your support and concern! We look forward to having you on board one day!

P.S. If you are looking for a way to donate to the hurricane relief of affected Caribbean countries, we are avid supporters of the work Rotary does. As a well known, world-wide charitable organisation, Rotary probably doesn’t need our vouch of confidence, but for what it’s worth, it’s who we trust our donations with:

Harbour Safaris is proud to introduce our new full-day excursion to Spanish Wells, Eleuthera!

This amazing tour departs Nassau Harbour and includes fantastic stops, including one of the most beautiful sandbanks in the world!  Experience bright blue shallow water adjacent to dark blue deep water!  A truly unique experience!

No trip to Spanish Wells would be complete without stopping to see the amazing beach pigs on Meek’s Patch!  Swim and hang out with these fun little guys and sip an ice cold Sands Light while you wallow in the tranquil waters of the Bahamas!

Enjoy lunch (included) in the quaint fishing town of Spanish Wells and listen to stories ranging from crawfishing to shipwrecks.  Hear about the Devil’s Backbone leading to the world renowned Harbour Island, the secluded home of the rich and famous!

Book for Spanish Wells Now!

Here’s what one of our first guests, Kim, had to say about the tour on TripAdvisor:

I just did Harbour Safaris’ new trip to Spanish Wells, Bahamas and it was spectacular!! From the boat to the crew to the venues…I could not have had a better day! First stop was the sand flats for a picture perfect chill time. Lunch at Wreckers was amazing – every dish was raved about by all that were there. On to the swimming pigs for laughing and Awwww moments (the babies were adorable). Then to a secluded beach to just relax in my favorite blue waters. Thanks again, Harbour Safaris for being a highlight of my visit!
