When it comes to finding the perfect family-friendly excursion during a cruise stop in Nassau, Bahamas, Baha Bay Waterpark at Baha Mar is an unbeatable choice. Nestled on the stunning grounds of the luxurious Baha Mar Resort, this waterpark offers a combination of thrilling slides, relaxing attractions, and a top-notch dining experience, making it a must-visit for families looking to have a fun-filled day in the sun.
Our family recently visited Baha Bay as an excursion from our Royal Caribbean cruise, and it was hands down one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the pristine grounds, the variety of attractions, and the overall luxurious feel of the park.
A Wave of Fun: The Wave Pool
One of the highlights of our visit was the incredible wave pool. Unlike many wave pools we’ve experienced in the past, this one was expansive, well-maintained, and had just the right balance of excitement and relaxation. The waves rolled in at perfect intervals, creating an ocean-like experience that both kids and adults could enjoy. Our son, J, had an absolute blast jumping into the waves, while we lounged in the shallow areas, soaking in the Bahamian sunshine.
Floating in Paradise: The Lazy River
After the excitement of the wave pool and a few thrilling slides, we decided to take a break and drift along the lazy river. This was hands down one of the most relaxing experiences of our day. The lazy river at Baha Bay is beautifully designed, winding through lush tropical landscapes and offering a serene escape from the more action-packed attractions. Floating along in the crystal-clear waters, we truly felt like we were in paradise.
Delicious Bites: Spicy Nashville Chicken Burgers & Tenders
No great waterpark experience is complete without delicious food, and Baha Bay certainly did not disappoint in this department. After working up an appetite, we decided to try the Spicy Nashville Chicken Burgers and Tenders—and wow, they were incredible! The burgers were perfectly crispy, packed with just the right amount of spice, and topped with fresh, flavorful ingredients. The tenders were equally delicious, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Paired with a side of fries and a refreshing drink, this meal was the perfect way to refuel before heading back into the water.
Immaculate Grounds & Luxury Feel
One thing that truly set Baha Bay apart from other waterparks we’ve visited was the immaculate upkeep of the park. Every area was spotless, from the pools to the lounging areas. The landscaping was lush and well-maintained, giving the park an upscale, resort-like ambiance. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care goes into maintaining this waterpark, and it definitely adds to the overall experience.
Why Baha Bay is the Perfect Excursion Choice
Choosing Baha Bay as an excursion from our Royal Caribbean cruise was the perfect decision. The location is convenient, just a short drive from the cruise port, and it offers an amazing mix of relaxation and excitement for families. Unlike some of the more tourist-heavy beaches, Baha Bay provides a more private, exclusive feel while still offering all the fun and adventure you’d want in a tropical getaway.
Final Thoughts
Our visit to Baha Bay Waterpark at Baha Mar was truly one for the books. Whether you’re looking for adrenaline-pumping water slides, a relaxing float on the lazy river, or a delicious meal by the pool, this waterpark has something for everyone. If you find yourself in Nassau and want a break from the usual beach excursions, we highly recommend spending the day at Baha Bay—you won’t regret it!
