About this activity

Arrive at Rawson Square 15 minutes before the scheduled start time to complete registration. The race director will divide everyone who shows up into teams of 3 to 6 people. Receive a map with 40 points of interest, including monuments, churches, galleries, restaurants, bars and downtown shops. (Below is a list of some of the sites you can visit.) Get to know your team (if you didn’t come with one already) and come up with a rocking name to intimidate your competitors.

Make sure that one of your team members has a digital camera or camera-ready smartphone. Your team has 90 minutes to visit as many sites on the map as possible; you must answer a question or take up a challenge at each site to acquire points. You can hit the sites in any order, but your team must stay together at all times. Huddle up and devise a strategy. Any history buffs or shopping aficionados in your group? Work these factors into the itinerary plan, and abide by the additional rules:
• Don’t leave the starting location until you’ve received instruction from the race director
• Teams arriving more than 15 minutes late to the hunt forfeit their right to the prize
• Obey all traffic laws and don’t commit any crimes to complete the challenges (remember, it’s just a game)
• Teams that arrive after the 90-minute time period concludes receive a 5-point deduction for every minute lateGet the green light to begin, and you’re off! Have fun exploring the streets and sights of Nassau. Meet locals and receive engaging glimpses into Bahamian art, culture and history throughout your adventure.

Finish your scavenger hunt at Pompey Square, where all the teams’ scores will be tallied. If your team has secured the most points and paid heed to the rules, congratulations, swoop in and collect your prize.

Our family of 20 ranging in age from 18 months to 80 years all enjoyed this scavenger hunt. We were divided into three groups. It was a great way to see the city.

We got our instructions and started our time and had a ball walking the city and going to the destinations either answering the questions or taking pictures. The guy that met us at the beginning and end was super nice. It was just me and my husband and another couple. We really enjoyed getting to know the city- even though it was super hot in the morning- and we won!!! What's not to love?!

Very fun and cheap activity but you must be 'IN SHAPE as you race sometimes uphill to compete with several other teams of 6 to win the prize. You get 90 minutes to hit 40 destinations and gather proof that you went to each destination. Excellent, fun, and safe way to see some interesting sights, museums, art galleries, hotels, and shops without being very far from the ship. After the scavenger hunt, you can go back and re-visit some of the places you didn't even know existed in downtown Nassau. Highly recommended!

We loved this excursion. It was a fun and competitive way to see the sights of the city. We had 6 of us that split into 3 groups of 2 in each group and us old people won the whole thing! It helps to have map reading skills that us old people have and not rely on Siri all the time : Our guide was delightful and gave very good instructions and a great prize at the end. I would definitely recommend.

What a great experience! We were a group of ten, ranging in age from seven to fifty something, who came in on a Royal Caribbean Cruise. We had just had our beach day at Royals private island and we were looking for something a little more adventurous, and a little less expensive, than hanging at Atlantis for the day. Also, I really like to get the flavor of the places I visit, and being in a resort didnt really accomplish that. We were a little concerned about our safety as we were not familiar with the area and were travelling with kids, but Islandz Tours was very helpful and reassuring with our questions they also caught that we booked half of our group for the wrong day, thank you!. Our tour guide, Joelle, was fun and helpful and kept us in line. You have to be somewhat physically fit enough to navigate hills, steps and about five to six miles of walking/running adventure. We learned so much about Nassau in ninety minutes! Some of the higher points gave us breathtaking views of our ships and the harbor. The locals were very helpful whenever we asked questions. Some of the sites required taking a picture or completing a task, which the kids really got into. In the end, my group lost to the other group due in part to not understanding that some questions were worth more than others but the winning group got a generous amount of local wares as a prize. We didnt find the rum cake, though. And we still had plenty of time and money for lunch and shopping in the afternoon! I am so glad we booked this adventure, I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Nassau for something a little different.
