Jump off your cruise ship and spend a few hours discovering the architecture, history and culture of the Bahamas! This Nassau shore excursion is perfect for those who want to do a bit of city sightseeing during their stay on Paradise Island. Complete with a visit to the famous Ardastra Gardens, the City and Country shore excursion offers something for everyone!
Highlights of your drive through Nassau will include the following historical sites:
The Queen's Staircase, also known as the 66 Steps, which lead up to Fort Fincastle, a tiny castle built in 1796 by Lord Dunmore
Fort Charlotte, the largest Fort in the Bahamas, which was built between 1787 and 1790 to guard the west entrance to Nassau Harbour.
Government House, the official residence of the Bahamas' governor-general, which was built in 1737 but then rebuilt in 1932 after being destroyed by a hurricane
Picturesque Gregory Arch
The Legislative Buildings and Law Courts in Parliament Square
The Native Market where some 160 vendors sell everything from straw work to woodcarvings and other island handicrafts, all brightly decorated
This tour is an extension of the City and Country tour, with the inclusion of a visit to the beautiful Ardastra Gardens - a 5 acre (20 sq. km) park which is part jungle and part gardens. Ardastra is home to nearly 300 mammals, birds and reptiles, many of which are endangered species of the Caribbean and South America.
