The very first time we went to Nassau, about 20 years ago, the taxi we got at the airport hod parts of the floor missing, so you could see the road through the holes lol, have been back many times since, and must say the taxis have improved lol...
Keep doing what you do it's very much appreciated watched all your cancun videos before I visited there and your videos where a big help now im heading to bahamas this week and appreciate this video as well thanks
Really great video! I am going to Atlantis for my 30th birthday in October so I’m really excited🎉 will definitely be using Elkin travel ! Have you got a video about the fish fry? I’m excited to see that. I was a bit worried about the travel warning as I’m from the U.K. and I don’t think the British government have issued a warning for Nassau but I’m guessing it’s more just local crime
Heading to Nassau in a cpl weeks for a 4 night stay,i got an Airbnb walking distance to down town and the beaches,the owner of the Airbnb is even picking me up at the airport for $30.00 each way...The additional tourist taxes and VAT they add to the hotel and resorts is just ridiculous...and Atlantis is so un affordable for the average working man/woman..I have been visiting the Bahamas for 45 years and it's still laid back..I like Nassau at Christmas time,used to have a lot of festive decor and school kids singing carols on the sidewalk...
Very informative. Exactly what I wanted to know. Specifically the airport pick up and grocery stop. Question, how much should I tip the driver? Our pickup is costing us $98 for 3 people. Thanks 👍
It's not sketchy at all 🤦🏽♂️ tired of ppl spreading lies and propaganda. Common sense should be the helm of anyone traveling to a foreign country. Not to say that there isn't petty theft, but the same can be said about almost everywhere in the world. Saying sketchy is a huge stretch.
hi there, thanks for sharing the informative video. My wife and 9yr old son are booked to travel to Grand Hyatt Baha mar first week of July. I am planning on renting a car and wanted to know how far the car pickup is from the main airport terminal?
What’s the best way to contact Elkin's Taxi and Transportation? We are traveling there this Spring but there’s 5 of us total and Viator bookings max is 4. Would be helpful to book directly with him or a way to contact him? Thanks for sharing your video!
Can you share the place of store & liquior store that you stopped at? We are going soon & wanted to do the same but not sure which one is closest and safe!
The food store is Super Value Cable Beach. If you want more vegan type and international variety try Solomons Fresh Market Old Fort Bay. There's no shortage of liquor stores I promise you.🤣 But 700 wines is a good spot for wholesale items.
I would love to book Elkin, but we have a huge party going to Atlantis this year. Do you have any recommendations for keeping as many of us together on our drive from airport to Atlantis? We have 13 people total.
We went to Baha Mar for the day while at port during a cruise for the waterpark, man was it beautiful and my son loved it but my wallet did not like those prices at the resort. But I would totally go back again while at port.
Because you're an idiot!! While you're there being salty, Americans and Europeans are buying land in The Bahamas like hot cake and building their retirement homes. You're missing out. Yes there's not much to do near the downtown Nassau area but the new cruise port fixed that. And The Bahamas is more than just Nassau, Atlantis, Coco Cay, and the other cruise owned islands. In all honesty if the only way you've been coming to The Bahamas is by cruise ship, then you haven't seen or experienced anything just like me when I traveled via cruise ships. I decided to ditch cruising and fly in and my experiences have been a thousand percent better because there's more time to explore and meet people on your own away from the "cruise arranged tours". You're totally missing out on The Real Bahamas. Come by plane and you'll find that fliers have wonderful experiences on average and if you ditch Nassau and go to Exuma and Eleuthera, the heaven on Earth scenes will change your life!!.
hey did you end up bringing it? how was customs when you landed did you really have to scan your bag upon arrival? do they make you go through an xray as well?
I much prefer the old airport buildings where my Dad worked for Bahamas Airways in the sixties. One Sunday in 1965 (I was two) we drove over there to see why the Goodyear airship was parked there and lo and behold the Beatles were filming Help. Crazy times considering my Dad and his brother were at school with Paul and George at the Liverpool Institute.
amazing video I have a question do they have a sign for Elkins I seen he had a small cell phone the reason why I ask is cause im going with my elderly mother so if there's a ton of people on the day I get there I wanna make sure I find Elkins taxi service sign thank you
As someone who lives there it is 100% the experience. Definitely for tourist too. Traveling with kids is better too!
Thanks for this great review. 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
Ty for watching!!
Thank you for all the great information and the referral for the car service! Can't wait for our Nassau getaway 23 days and counting!
Ty for watching. Excited for you!!!
Thank you for this info! Considering our first non-cruise trip to Nassau and this was helpful.
Awesome I’m so glad!!!
Global pass has been a life saver,i got it the first month it came out..

I love this. Thank you for sharing.
I've lived in Nassau Bahamas for eight years. There's definitely a lounge at Lynden Pindling Airport.
They said it was temporarily closed 🤷♀️
Very informative. Exactly what I wanted to know. Specifically the airport pick up and grocery stop. Question, how much should I tip the driver? Our pickup is costing us $98 for 3 people. Thanks 👍
Maybe 15%? Ty for watching!!!!!
I love your videos, they are so informative. We are visiting in Oct so my question is do resort offer free Airport Shuttles also?
I don’t think so!! Ty for watching!!
We're going next month, do those rooms have a Keurig coffee machine? Thanks for your helpful videos!
They do not at least ours didn’t
I was in Nassau via cruise ship Super Bowl weekend. It is kind of sketchy outside of the gates. Need to be careful lots petty theft

They now have the App "Exempt" for immigration. If you fly a decent airline, the airline hands out the form before you land and you can fill it out.
Good to know!!!
I just reserved Elkin for our trip
Great!! Enjoy your trip!
hi there, thanks for sharing the informative video. My wife and 9yr old son are booked to travel to Grand Hyatt Baha mar first week of July. I am planning on renting a car and wanted to know how far the car pickup is from the main airport terminal?
Don’t forget they drive in the other side of the road which was scary 🤣. I honestly don’t know bc we didn’t see the car rental!!
@@3Days3Noches As you walk outside the airport, the rental car offices are right across the street in the parking lot
Quick question. On your way out the airport did they scan or check your bag before leaving the airport??

Omg I don’t remember but it’s the one closest to Baha Mar. if you look it up on the map

I think Atlantis can provide?
Maybe I missed it in an earlier video but is there a reason you only do 3 days or 3 nights on a trip??
Great question! Yes it’s because of work and personal obligations. I can’t get away for longer than that right now. But in the future I will!
Me puede dar el número del taxista gracias

Please i am Africa Zambia, are the accommodation safe? How much is the total cost for one month in Bahamas for a Couple?
Yes! Honestly I’m not sure
Please share the link
Which link?
Hi, do you need any other forms for arrival, like the C17 form ? Is there anywhere online yet to complete the forms prior to arrival. Thank you.
No other forms! But you cannot fill them out online. Only paper
Hi my friend. As a frequent cruiser, I’m not getting off the ship!!!

Just use common sense and you’ll be fine.

Ty! You have to book him in advance and then he will give instructions on how to find him
Hello! When entering the Bahamas, do I need a bank statement and similar documents. I am from Russia. Thank U.
I didn’t need anything like that from the US but not sure
No you don't. If you're traveling with more than $10,000 just declare it.
@@DustyRolle Thank you.
