How to Navigate Nassau Like a Local (Without Breaking the Bank)
Nassau is more than just beaches and cruise ports. It’s a living, breathing culture full of food, rhythm, and real experiences. And if you know where to look, you don’t need to spend a fortune to live like a local.
Today, we’re giving you the local playbook. Not just as a visitor, but as someone who understands the pulse of the island — straight from your cultural guide at Rickyluv Bahamas Taxi & Tour.
1. Ditch the Resort Shuttle — Ride Local
Tourists pay $40+ for rides that locals get for half. Our flat-rate shared ride taxi option starts at just $10. Book via the Taxi Booker App or visit Gleniston Park Ave to hop in with locals who know the real Nassau.
Tap into competitor weakness: While others only offer set routes, we offer customizable, local-access routes with real conversation, not rehearsed scripts.
2. Eat Where We Eat
Forget overpriced tourist menus. Locals head to:
- Sonia’s Jerk — Flavor, heat, and no frills.
- Bush Gardens (Seafood & Steakhouse) — Bahamian eats with vegan options.
- The Fish Fry at Arawak Cay — Snapper, conch salad, and street talk.

3. Book Cultural Experiences Direct, Not Through Middlemen
Most platforms take 25–30% commission. You pay more, and the local hosts earn less. But with Rickyluv:
- City Tours from just $60
- Full-Day Tours with lunch + EduCulture included — now discounted with promo code SAVE20
- Book directly: Book a Tour
This is how we reclaim value: by connecting directly and cutting out the platform gatekeepers.
4. Stay Connected, the Smart Way
Tourists still pay roaming fees. Locals use eSIMs and Wi-Fi smart.
- Grab an Airalo eSIM here
- Pair it with WhatsApp (we accept taxi bookings by chat!)
Bonus: Our drivers accept all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, CashApp, Venmo, and PayPal — or we can send you a prepaid payment link for full flexibility.
Nassau, Your Way
This isn’t just about saving money. It’s about moving with intention, supporting locals, and having experiences the other guys simply can’t offer.
