The Experience

I didn’t expect to be nervous about sitting in a see-through kayak, but there I was, toes wiggling against the cool plastic while the water below shifted in patches of turquoise and green. Junkanoo Beach is only a short walk from the cruise port—ten minutes, tops—but it feels louder and brighter than you’d think. Music thumps from somewhere behind the tiki huts, and you can smell fried fish drifting over from that little row of shacks (I still regret not grabbing a snack first). Our guide, Marcus, handed me a life vest and grinned like he’d seen this hesitation before. “You’ll forget it’s even there,” he said, pointing at the kayak.

Once we pushed off, everything got quiet except for the slap of paddles and distant laughter. The water was so clear I could see my shadow moving along the sand below. A drone buzzed overhead—honestly, I half-expected it to crash into a seagull but these guys really know what they’re doing. Marcus called out directions (“Look up! Smile!”) while I tried not to squint too much in the sun. The whole thing felt half-silly, half-magical. At one point I caught my own reflection on the bottom of the kayak and started laughing—felt like floating inside a glass bubble.

Afterwards, we hung around on the sand waiting for our edited photos (they send them fast, within a day or so). There were families setting up umbrellas nearby, kids chasing each other with towels dragging behind them. It’s hard not to feel part of something here—even if you’re just passing through before your ship leaves again. I keep thinking about that moment when everything slowed down out on the water; maybe it was just being away from crowds for a minute, or maybe it was seeing Nassau from such a strange angle.
