The art captures the history of Bahamas and Bahamian life through the artwork of Bahamian artists. You’ll see contemporary movements and experimental contemporary art practices through exhibitions. There are several sculptures outside in the garden as well as wonderful murals that you can see from outside.
  • Fort Fincastle - You can also explore this as well as other historic sites in Nassau. Fort Fincastle was built in 1793 to help protect the city from pirates. Located atop Bennet’s Hill, the highest point on New Providence Island, it provided the best views of Nassau and Paradise Island as well as the eastern approaches to the islands.
  • Ardastra Gardens & Wildlife Conservation Centre - Watch dancing flamingos up close in the Bahamas’ first and only zoo in Nassau Paradise Island and home to the Carribean flamingo.
  • The Daiquiri Shack - Have fresh fruit daiquiri to beat the heat.
  • Arawak Cay - This popular place is home to a variety of authentic Bahamian restaurants, featuring traditional dishes from the Islands and ice-cold beverages with a local twist—all of which are sure to please the palate. Make sure to try Conch which is a local staple and the national dish of The Bahamas.
  • John Watling’s Distillery - Explore a live local distillery making hand-crafted rum and other spirits in small batches and bottling since 178
  • Pirates of Nassau Museum - This wax museum is dedicated to the life and times of Pirates in The Bahamas and those who fought against them. There are dramatic recreations of battles with sound and light; a number of displays depicting the lives of pirates, their living quarters, tools and weaponry; how they were punished for indiscretions, including being marooned on a deserted island; in addition to plaques on the wall providing historical details of the era. There is also a gift shop on the premises.
  • Nassau Botanical Gardens - The Nassau Botanical Gardens provide a tranquil retreat for nature-loving residents and visitors. It features 18 acres of tropical flora covering over 600 species, including the Bahamas national flower, the Yellow Elder.
  • Bonefish Pond National Park - This 1,280-acre park located on the south central coast of New Providence is an important marine nursery area. You can learn about mangroves while kayaking in this place.
  • Christ Church Cathedral - The Lord Proprietors built the original building on this site in 1670, making it the first church built in The Islands Of The Bahamas. The present structure, built in 1841, is the fifth church that has occupied this spot. The year 1861 marked an historic beginning for the islands; Nassau became a city and Christ Church was made a Cathedral.
  • Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Bahamas - From a suspended airplane and pool bar to the outdoor deck with a fun and entertaining staff, Margaritaville is more than a restaurant - it’s a state of mind. Margaritaville has everything you need to have a good time: great music, their signature menu, three unique bars, indoor and outdoor seating, a fin-shaped pool and a stage for live performances.
  • Fort Charlotte - If you have time to visit only one fort, see Fort Charlotte, the largest one on New Providence at 100 acres. Located one mile west of downtown Nassau, just off West Bay Street, it sits on a hill overlooking the far west end of the harbor, commanding an impressive view of Paradise Island, Nassau, and the harbor.

Every Wednesday and Friday, starting at 11:30 a.m., a living historical scene lets you step back in time and experience daily life in 18th-century Nassau. It features characters dressed in period costume, who exhibit basketweaving techniques, kitchen utensils used over 250 years ago, and fruits sold at the market. It culminates with the firing of the cannon at 12:00 noon.

Local fauna include songbirds, wading birds, seabirds, and other wildlife. You can enjoy swimming, fishing, hiking, camping, snorkeling using our snorkels, birdwatching, and picnicking in the Park, and the panoramic views from the cliffs.

Perfect tour for the family - Clever was such a good guide. She was so knowledgeable about the Island and so patient with us when my shopping took longer than planned. She covered all the places we asked for and made the trip thoroughly enjoyable. The driver made the trip nice and smooth and we had an AWESOME DAY!!!!

Worth it, and then some! - This excursion was perfect! Our tour guide was extremely patient, friendly, and informative. We were shown not only to hot tourist spots but the hidden island gems as well. He went above and beyond to provide us with a memory we’ll remember forever.

Cabbage Beach - The meting point is very confusing. We came in on a cruise back in January 2020. Upon arrival we immediately walked toward the gate to the outside while calling the company for meeting instruction. I was told to meet at the Parliament Square, but the place was packed the people and cars. So we called them again and this time we got connected to our tour guide/driver. He is very knowledgeable about the island and seems to know the people well along the route. It doesn't take you 8 hours to tour the island, unless you are planning to stop somewhere for a while. Overall, it was a nice experience to get a glimpse of other culture.
