LAND AND SEA
Excursion Details
With its hilly landscape, sandy white beaches and a history stretching back to 1670, there’s a lot to see in Nassau. This excursion of approximately three hours lets you experience the capital of the Bahamas from both the land and the sea.
Begin by setting sail from Paradise Island Harbour in your motorized catamaran. Spend approximately one hour gliding across the harbour, sipping on a complimentary fruit punch and enjoying open bar services. As you sail, look out for lighthouses, celebrity homes and even superyachts.
Once back on dry land, walk for approximately 15 minutes to the bus and make the short drive to 18th-century Fort Fincastle, which sits on Bennett’s Hill and overlooks Nassau. During the drive, you’ll pass Government House – official residence of the Governor General – Gregory’s Arch (a chiselled, stone structure from the 1850s) and Fort Montagu (an 18th-century limestone coastal fort). Once arrived at Fort Fincastle, there’s a stop of 25 minutes to view the Queen’s Staircase – 66 steps carved out of limestone.
Next is a short drive to Atlantis Paradise Island beach resort, where you’ll stop for approximately 45 minutes for free time and shopping before a journey of about 15 minutes returns to the port.
Important Information: Fort Fincastle will be closed for construction starting March 2025, therefore affecting access to the nearby Queen’s Staircase. As a result, the tour will be re-routed to Fort Charlotte (outdoor view only). Guests may choose to enter for an additional charge, time-permitting
