What To Expect
Government House (Pass By)
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. The Caves of New Providence 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!

Arawak Cay (Pass By)
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.
Paradise Island (Pass By)
Paradise Island is an island in the Bahamas formerly known as Hog Island. The island, with an area of 685 acres, is located just off the shore of the city of Nassau, which is itself located on the northern edge of the island of New Providence. It is best known for the sprawling resort Atlantis with its extensive water park rides, pools, beach, restaurants, walk-in aquarium and casinos.
Rawson Square (Pass By)
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.
Queen's Staircase
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.
Fort Fincastle
Fort Fincastle is a fort located in the city of Nassau on the island of New Providence in The Bahamas. It was built to provide protection to Nassau. The fort was built in 1793 by Lord Dunmore to protect Nassau from pirates.
Graycliff Chocolatier
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.
John Watling's Distillery
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.
