AquaMaze Bahamas (Clear Kayaks)

AquaMaze Bahamas operates from Jaws Beach on the southwestern coast of New Providence island, offering clear kayak experiences that give paddlers a window into the underwater world below them. With a 4.9 Google rating, this is one of Nassau's more novel family activities — the transparent hulls reveal reef fish, coral, and sea life as you paddle over shallow water.

Jaws Beach itself is a public beach on the western end of New Providence, less developed and more secluded than the Paradise Island and Nassau Harbour beach areas. The water here tends to be clearer than in Nassau Harbour, which is part of what makes the clear kayak concept work particularly well at this location.

For families, the clear kayak format is accessible to anyone who can paddle — no swimming ability is specifically required since you're on top of the water rather than in it. Kids who are nervous about snorkeling often thrive with this format because they can see into the ocean without putting their face in the water. For confident swimmers, the clear kayak adds a second way to observe marine life on top of a swim/snorkel break.

At 4.9 stars with 9 reviews (a small but very positive sample), the operator delivers consistently excellent experiences. Jaws Beach is located about 45 minutes west of Nassau town by car — plan transportation in advance. The beach itself is free for public access and worth spending additional time at after the kayak session.
