- Stingray City: The shallow waters of this site are filled with stingrays. If you are afraid of these animals, this is the perfect place to rid yourself of all or a very substantial amount of that fear by either swimming/snorkeling in the waters and experiencing the animals up close or feeding them from the land.
- George Town: This city is most alive when cruise ships arrive in its ports. The shops lining the city are duty-free, this makes it a perfect place to shop and visit the art galleries. The shops are colourful gingerbread buildings along the harbour front.
- Atlantis Submarines: If you want to visit the bed of the ocean and witness its beauties without getting wet, the 48-passenger submarines are the way to go. You can see the tropical fish and even archaeological sites whilst peering through the windows of the submarine.
