Make new family memories at Dolphin Cay
CAPTIONS

IT ALL STARTS IN NASSAU

Most Bahamas vacations begin and end in the capital city of Nassau on New Providence Island . While parents could spend a blissful week here hitting the colorful street markets , marveling at the colonial history and enjoying conch fritters and Kalik beer in tranquil cafés , the kids will only have one thing on their minds : Atlantis Resort .
There is so much to do at Atlantis Resort , located just across the bridge from Nassau on Paradise Island , it may be easier and quicker to list the activities you cannot do here . Most families head first to Aquaventure , a 141-acre waterpark kingdom packed with high-speed waterslides , a mile-long river ride and 20 swimming pools in a lush , tropical landscape . We recommend renting one of the 45 private cabanas on the property to act as your home base .
If you can pry your kids away from the waterpark , more adventures await at Atlantis . At the Marine Habitat , you can explore 14 lagoons , see more than 50,000 aquatic animals , snorkel over underwater ruins and even slide down the Mayan Temple Shark Lagoon , where you ’ ll shoot past hammerheads in a see-through tube .
