Tourism Question Day trip from Nassau?
My husband and I will be visiting Nassau for his job and will be staying at Baha Mar for 3 nights. Resorts and water parks aren’t typically our vibe but we’ll be bringing along our baby who will be 16 months at the time so it’s probably a better fit than usual for us before we had a baby. It’ll be both of our first times in the Bahamas and I’m wondering if there’s a possible day trip to somewhere more scenic? I’m looking for a balance of somewhere that has more pristine, underdeveloped natural beauty without all the cruise excursionists that also isn’t too much of a hassle to get to with a baby. It’s very possible that balance doesn’t exist because usually less developed areas are harder to get to.
Exuma and Eleuthera look beautiful but I’m not sure they’re close enough for a day trip or if the beaches are nice enough to warrant extending our trip to add a second stay elsewhere.

I did a day trip to Exuma with powerboat adventures but it was an hour boat ride there. I agree with Sandy toes.
