First-Time Visitors in Nassau: What You Need to Know (Episode 81)

Welcome to Nassau! As a first-time visitor, you’re about to step into one of the most vibrant, colorful, and historic destinations in the Caribbean. In Episode 81, we break down the essential things every traveler should know so your vacation starts smoothly — from transportation tips to local do’s and don’ts. Whether you’re heading to your resort, downtown, or exploring the island, this guide helps you move confidently and safely.

1. Know Your Transportation Options

Nassau is busy during peak travel season, which means understanding how to move around is key. With Rickyluv Bahamas Taxi & Tours, you always get metered pricing, clean vehicles, and transparent fares — no surprises. If you want more comfort after a long flight, ask about our Private SUV Transfer — $150 flat rate. It’s available directly on our website and in the Taxi Booker App under “RickyluvTaxi”.

Skip the apps and random drivers — book direct with a licensed local team that knows Nassau inside and out.

2. Respect Local Customs & Local Pace

The Bahamas runs on island time — a calmer rhythm than fast-paced cities abroad. People greet each other, speak respectfully, and keep things friendly. If someone tells you to “Watch Ya Mouth”, it simply means be mindful of what you’re saying — Bahamians value respectful conversation.

Always greet shopkeepers, drivers, and locals. A simple “Good morning” or “Good afternoon” goes a long way.

3. Important Safety Tips

Nassau is generally safe, but like any major tourist destination, awareness matters. Keep your valuables secured, stay in well-populated areas, and use licensed transportation — especially at night.

  • Stick to known taxi services (like us).
  • Avoid walking long distances late at night.
  • Use your resort concierge or trusted locals when unsure where to go.

4. How to Get Around Easily

Getting to attractions like Atlantis, Baha Mar, Downtown Nassau, Arawak Cay, and the beaches is simple when you plan ahead. Book your ride early through our main booking link:

5. Final Tips Before You Explore Nassau

  • Drink water — the Caribbean sun is REAL.
  • Keep small cash handy for local markets.
  • Ask locals for food recommendations — we love sharing where to eat!
  • If you get lost, don’t panic — Bahamians are naturally helpful.
