Plan a birthday trip to The Bahamas with a local: boat days, birthday dinners, surprises and nights out, sorted for you and your crew
Your Bahamas birthday trip should feel like a celebration from the moment you land. So skip the week of tabs, group chats and guesswork about where to eat. I bring the insider knowledge of a Bahamian who has called both Nassau and Harbour Island home, so your birthday is planned around what you love.
Turning 30, 40, 50 or just want to celebrate big? Tell me the vibe: a laid-back beach birthday, a girls’ or boys’ trip with a night out, or a romantic getaway for two. I plan the boat day, the birthday dinner with a view and the surprise touches that make the birthday girl or guy feel special.
Planning it for someone else? Then I can keep the surprise between us and send the plan to you, the organiser.
Plan your birthday trip
Mix and match these into a birthday trip you’ll talk about for years.
Charter a boat, swim in clear turquoise water, stop at a sandbar and raise a toast to the birthday star on the water.
A table at a restaurant with a sunset view, booked ahead, with a cake or dessert surprise if you want one.
Want a saxophonist or singer at dinner? I can book live music to surprise the birthday girl or guy.
Daybeds and cocktails by the sea or, instead, a slower day of pampering, with reservations made ahead.
Dress up and hit the town with bars and lounges that suit your crew, with transport planned so everyone gets back safely.
Pink sand and golf carts on Harbour Island, or the clear water of Eleuthera. Plus, it’s an easy birthday day trip from Nassau.
The most flights, restaurants and nightlife, plus resorts, beach clubs and boat charters. Best for a big birthday celebration.
Small, chic and easy to get around by golf cart, with a famous pink sand beach. Best for a relaxed or romantic birthday.
Base yourselves in Nassau and add a day trip to Harbour Island or Eleuthera for the best of both.
Choose the Bahamas birthday package that fits your trip, or send your plans and I’ll recommend the best option.

The drier, cooler months from December to April are the most popular. Summer is hot and lively. However, hurricane season runs from June to November, so travel insurance is a smart idea if you travel then.
Start at least three months ahead, because boat days and popular restaurants book up fast on weekends and holidays. Travelling sooner? Send a last-minute request and I’ll let you know what’s possible.
