Nassau is the capital city of the Bahamas and the best tourist destination in Florida. It attracts tourists from different parts of the world, especially from the United States. The city is warm all year round, and the climate is favorable for visitors.
Though the temperatures can be great throughout the year, the Bahamas falls in the Hurricane belt, and it’s not a good idea to visit around June and November. Other days are rainy, and you may just end up indoors throughout your tour period. The downside of the peak seasons is that it attracts a lot of tourists who flock the area and prices of most amenities skyrocket. However, for Nassau boat rental, prices remain stable throughout the year.
If you’re thinking of going to this destination, then here is a short guide that will let you make an informed decision about the best time to travel.
Mid-April and Mid-December
These months are usually the best times to visit Nassau, not just because the temperatures are suitable, but there are many activities you can indulge in. The temperature ranges between the 70s to low 80s. The skies are clear enough, and those who love diving and snorkeling can enjoy themselves.
You can also sunbathe or take a stroll along the Bahamian beaches. If you love to be a little different, then take an outdoor tour to The Glass Window Bridge or the Lucayan National Park.
While preparing to visit Nassau during these periods, ensure you book in advance. There are serious price hikes, and people are scrambling for a few places. So many hotels and resorts have their prices doubled. Cars, boat rentals, and meals are not also forgiving to the pockets.
Late-April and Early-December
During this time, the city is still a little crowded, but the crowds are getting thinner and thinner. There are plenty of festivals, including the Bahamas Carnival, Island Roots Heritage Festival, Christmas excitements, and the New Year welcoming.
Most hotels, resorts, and property rentals are giving discounts this time. While there are still a lot of things to do, many people are checking out, and if you don’t like the crowd, then this might be the best time for you to visit.
May and October
At this time, many tourist attraction sites are mostly vacated. These months experience a lot of rainfall, and if you hate indoor tours, then you won’t enjoy your trip. These are the wettest months of the year, and the northern islands receive a lot of rainfall disrupting most activities. Expect some hurricanes around June and November. If you must travel, consider having travel insurance.
When you’re working on a strict budget, you should consider visiting between early January and late February. These months still experience excellent weather conditions, but popular festivals are not taking place; hence, the prices are lower.
The Bahamas is a great place to visit, and Nassau city is welcoming to all visitors. However, the timing of your visit determines whether you’ll enjoy the trip. Ensure you do your research widely and come up with the best time in the calendar to travel.
