After visiting Grand Turk Island we had a day at sea before docking at our last stop, Nassau, Bahamas.
Even though this was our third time in Nassau, we had never been to Atlantis. So for our shore excursion we hired a "taxi" for $4.00 each to drive us over the bridge to Paradise Island. I put the word "taxi" in quotation marks because our "taxi" ended up being a van crammed with 8 people and no air conditioning. Thankfully it was only a 15-minute drive to Atlantis.

I've always wanted to visit the Marine Habitat so upon our arrival we purchased tickets that allowed us access to the lagoons, underwater ruins and even the famed casino. Tickets were $45 per person but given what we saw the price was well worth it.
A pool of stingrays...
Beautiful coral...
with brilliant, blue fish darting in and out...
Schools of gorgeous, colorful fish...
Seahorses...
A couple of hammerhead sharks...
And a manta ray with a 14-foot wing span...
We were told that she may soon be released out to the sea because she is just gotten too big.
Of course, we were also able to walk around the grounds...
Here are the Royal Towers...such an iconic view.
Near the Coral Towers...
The beautiful tropical foliage...
Next post: our walk through the famous Atlantis casino.
All photos in this blog post were taken by me during our cruise in May, 2013.
