Full description
Enjoy a fun-filled time as you explore Nassau and Atlantis with your driver/guide. Relax with a convenient pickup service and see landmarks like Fincastle, the Government House, Atlantis, and visit a rum cake factory.

Meet your friendly and knowledgeable local guides and depart the pier. Stop at the historic forts of Fincastle, a small fort shaped like a paddle-wheel steamer. At this location you will have time to explore the fort, the Queen Victoria Staircase, and enjoy some light shopping on your own and take pictures.

Gain beautiful views of the Government House (official residence of the Governor General of the Bahamas since 1801), the Governor’s Mansion, and Gregory’s Arch. This stone arch was named after Governor John Gregory who served around 1850.

Travel along Bay Street, the heart of Nassau’s shopping district, and home to the native Straw Market on the way to the Bahamas Rum Cake Factory. Once you arrive sample the namesake cake and choose from flavors like banana, cinnamon, and piña colada.

Head to Paradise Island, an island connected to New Providence by two bridges that cross Nassau Harbor. See the famous Hog Island lighthouse, constructed in 1817, at the western tip of the island.

The highlight of Paradise Island is the world famous Atlantis Resort. Visit a magnificent resort encompassing over 3,000 hotel rooms, 20 restaurants, a wide variety of stores, a 123-acre water park, beautiful beaches, and the largest casino in the Bahamas.

Your tour will make a short stop at Atlantis where you will have free time to explore the amazing lobby, casino, or the shops. After your free time, you will be driven back to your ship.
