6.Nassau Atv Island Half-Day City Tour with Free Pick-Up

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 114 reviews

Ride a comfortable ATV through Nassau with guides such as AJ, Ben, Niko, or Sean. See Parliament Square, Fort Montagu, Arawak Cay, Cable Beach, Atlantis, and the Rum Cake Factory. Pickup, water, samples, and a Fish Fry stop are included, but confirm whether lunch is covered.

“This excursion was okay, but not the best experience. For some reason, we skipped the Arawak Cay lunch, which was disappointing because that was advertised and we planned to have lunch with them. We just stopped at local shops, but unless you're looking to buy something, it's not entertaining. There isn't any actual verbal guidance in this that touches on the history of the Bahamas, and there's not much to see in Nassau itself. We didn't get enough beach time, and by the end, our party was so tired that we asked to end the tour early. Our tour guides did accomodate with that request, which we really appreciated. You…”

“Une activité qui nous fait visiter des magasins de thé miraculeux, magasin de rhum, de chocolat, de cigares, un bar, un escalier de 64 marches, et un fort de 20 X 20 où il faut payer pour entrer. Nous n’avons même pas pu voir le parlement, caché derrière des estrades. Très, très bref survol historique; quel déception ! Le tout pour 125 USD/pers. Très déçus. Si c’est ce que Nassau a de mieux à offrir, c’est bien triste.”
