Optional Tours

New Providence is home to Nassau, the capital of The Bahamas. It is a great island to explore. The Advocates' Society is pleased to recommend several tours and excursions for participants and their guests. We selected options that would appeal to a range of interests.

General Details

Registration:
We will open a separate registration system for the Optional Tours in August, 2024. We will email a link for the Optional Tour Registration to all who have registered for Fall Convention. Registration for the Tours will close on Monday September 30!

Once the registration has closed we will know whether we have enough interest to run an individual tour, based on the minimum required. We will then issue invoices for the tours. If there is not enough interest then we will be back in touch with you as soon as possible so that you can make an alternative choice.

Pricing:
The prices for each tour reflect the actual US dollar costs charged by the supplier. We have reviewed a range of tour options and the prices listed reflect the market prices for comparable tours and activities. The price is also based on a minimum number of participants, as indicated. If fewer than the minimum number sign up for a tour, then the tour will be cancelled.

Payment:
Please note that these optional activities are not included as part of the conference package. We will send you an invoice immediately after your tour is confirmed and payment in CDN funds needs to be made then. Cash, cheque or credit cards are accepted (a 3.5% merchant fee applies to credit card payment).

Cancellation:
The tours and excursions are subject to the terms and conditions of the third party suppliers, as listed by each activity. These cancellation terms will apply unless we are able to resell your spot to another participant.
