Detailed itinerary
1
Your tour begins with pickup from your Nassau hotel or private residence. Your driver will take you to a local conch stand on the bay, where a conch expert will give you a lesson on the shellfish, how it's prepared, and even how Bahamians have come to think of it as an aphrodisiac.
Your cooking lesson involves removing the shellfish from its hard shell, scoring and slicing it, and mixing it with other ingredients to create a bright, delicious salad. Sit back and enjoy your creation with views of the bay.
Your guide will then take you back to your Nassau hotel or private residence.
