Itinerary
Government House, located on a 10 acre estate, stands on Mount Fitzwilliam and is the official residence of the Governor General of The Bahamas. It dates back to 1801 and this imposing pink and white building on Duke Street is an excellent example of the mingling of Bahamian-British and American Colonial architecture.
Nassau’s caves were created by the sea, millions of years ago. The area that is now the caves was originally at sea level, and ocean waves gradually wore away the softer parts of the sedimentary rock, leaving what are now large hollows. The Lucayans, the original inhabitants of The Bahamas, used the caves for various purposes, including food storage and to protect themselves during hurricanes. These caves are now home to fruit bats. If you are lucky, you may even get to see one!
This beach is world famous for its fabulous sand and crystal waters and for the myriad upscale resorts that line it. A few miles west of Nassau is Cable Beach, covering two and one-half miles of fabulous beach with five first-class or luxury resorts, a golf course, nightlife, and the largest casino in The Islands Of The Bahamas. Today, it's the ultimate playground for fun in the sun. There are all the usual water sports and activities and plenty of space for sunbathing.
Arawak Cay offers the authentic atmosphere of the Bahamian Fish Fry with vendors selling made to order conch salad, fried fish and other Bahamian dishes. Known locally as “The Fish Fry,” Arawak Cay dates back to 1969, when Nassau Harbour was dredged. The sand taken from the harbour was used to build Arawak Cay, and since that time, the restaurants of this iconic area have served traditional Bahamian fare to millions of locals and visitors alike.
Rawson Square located in downtown Nassau, is the gateway to the city for cruise-ship passengers. It was named for Sir Rawson W. Rawson who was Governor of The Bahamas during the late 1860s. In the middle of the square is a bronze bust of Sir Milo Butler, the first Bahamian Governor General in an independent Bahamas. A fountain in the square was named for Sir Stafford Sands, the first Bahamian Minister of Tourism.
The Queen's Staircase, are a set of 65 steps, carved out of solid limestone rock by 600 slaves between 1793 and 1794. It is a major landmark located in Nassau, Bahamas.
In 1740, the mansion that’s known as Graycliff today was built by Captain John Howard Graysmith, a pirate who commanded the schooner Graywolf and became wealthy – and feared – due to his plundering exploits. During the Golden Age of Piracy, Nassau was a hotbed of pirate activity, and with its convenient location close to Nassau Harbour, there’s no doubt that Graycliff was at the center of the action. Today, visitors to Nassau Paradise Island can purchase premium John Howard Graysmith cigars from the Graycliff Cigar Company.
The Bougainvillea Estate is an unforgettable experience! Established in 1907, the Historical Bougainvillea Estate offers an authentic family oriented getaway right on Delancy Street, near the hub of Nassau in The Bahamas. Filled with Bahamian Heritage, Culture & History a few of the buildings on property were officially recognized as Historical Landmarks by the Government of The Bahamas.
The John Watling's Distillery is located on the historic Buena Vista Estate in the Downtown Nassau area. Overlooking the harbor and offering panoramic views, the estate is situated on more than two acres of lush tropical gardens with century-old black olive trees. Construction of the estate began the same year that George Washington was elected the first President of the United Sates (circa 1789). Antiques and prints dating back more than 300 years, showcase the rich history and heritage of The Bahamas. On the grounds is a 200-year-old water well, supposedly carved out of solid limestone by slaves prior to the abolition of slavery in 1833.

5Wonderful Adventure
We had a wonderful time. Our tour guide Captain Ruby was knowledgeable and friendly. She did absolutely wonderfully to make it fun for me, my husband, my 76 year old mother and 3 year old daughter. Just the right amount of time at stops and great historical information for me. Would highly recommend as a way to learn more about the Bahamas and see the island.
5Great experience!
Absolutely would do again! Highly recommend, especially if first trip to Nassau or wanting to explore with younger kids. Captain Calico is an excellent guide! I enjoyed his knowledge of island history and his enthralling storytelling! My kids (8 & 5) were equally captivated by the knowledge he shared with us. They also appreciated the ice cream stop and getting to see the bats in the cave as well as the guided tour at Fort Charlotte.

About Nassau
Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas, a pastel-painted harbour town on New Providence Island with old forts, a pirate past and a straw market.
Nassau lies on the north coast of New Providence, facing Paradise Island across a sheltered harbour. In the early 1700s the settlement was a haven for pirates, a period retold in its museums, and it later became the seat of British colonial government. Pink-and-white government buildings stand around Parliament Square, and Bay Street, the main shopping street, runs beside the Straw Market where baskets and hats are woven and sold.
Top-ranked sights in Nassau: Rose Island, Queen's Staircase, Government House.
