Getting around

There is a taxi stand in the Arrivals Plaza, and the port asks you to use licensed operators only. Jitneys, the local buses, connect major attractions to the port; the national tourism board publishes jitney fares of $1.25 to $3.50 depending on where you are going, running roughly 6:30am to 7:00pm. The ferry to Paradise Island leaves the port every 30 minutes from 9:00am to 12:00pm. Scooter and ATV rental sits in the ground transportation area. They drive on the left.

Taxi fares across the Bahamas are metered and set by law, with surcharges usual for more than two passengers and extra luggage. Nassau-specific fares are not published.

Accessibility

Nassau Cruise Port takes part in the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program, which lets a visitor discreetly signal that they may need assistance. For a wheelchair, the port directs passengers to ask their shipboard team rather than the port.

Not published anywhere official: accessible routes or ramps inside the port, wheelchair-accessible taxis, restrooms, shade, and how far it is to Junkanoo Beach.
