Tour Highlights

Cable Beach – Tour Highlights –

Cable Beach – Spanning miles of luxury resorts and azure waters just a few miles west of downtown Nassau, Cable Beach is a tranquil oasis where visitors can relax and unwind under swaying palm trees, but among those interested in fun and adventure, it’s famous for being home to picturesque golf courses, upscale nightlife, fascinating caves, thrilling water sports, and the Caribbean’s largest casino.

Island Caves – Located just a few miles from scenic West Bay Street, the Island Caves were important sites among the original inhabitants of The Bahamas, the Lucayans, who used them as shelters from adverse weather and believed that their cooler temperatures preserved food for long periods.

After Columbus arrived in The Bahamas, pirates, like the infamous Edward Teach, roamed the seas and hid their treasures and arms in these gorgeous, mysterious caves!

Gambier Village – In the early 1800s, after Britain abolished slavery in its territories, freed Africans founded Gambier Village, one of the oldest villages in New Providence. Nestling the western side of the island, Gambier Village contains historical attractions that give an interesting glimpse into the lives of the liberated Africans who founded it, the most notable of whom was Elijah Morris, best known for spearheading the United States’ largest slave revolt in 1841. As a ship carried Morris and 134 other slaves from Virginia to New Orleans, where they would be sold, they stood in silence, waiting for the perfect opportunity to rebel and sail to freedom. A few days after they embarked on their seemingly neverending journey, Morris, with the help of 19 fellow captives, managed to take control of the ship by subduing the guards, who were cut off guard by the surprise attack. While they initially wanted to sail to Liberia, their ship lacked supplies, making the journey to the western coast of Africa unfeasible. After some deliberation, they decided to sail to Nassau, where those not directly involved were allowed to reside as free men and women. Due to their revolt onboard the ship, Morris and his accomplices became imprisoned, but a few months later, they were released, officially becoming free. Following his release, Morris moved to Gambier Village, where some of his descendants, who are influential in the community, reside today.

Clifton Heritage – Stunning beaches, picturesque nature trails, and imposing underwater statues are only a few of the spectacular wonders of Clifton Heritage National Park, a tropical sanctuary of history and culture on the western side of New Providence.

Established in 2004 and managed by the Clifton Heritage Authority, Clifton Heritage National Park offers a riveting snorkeling adventure. And if you enjoy history, you can learn about the fascinating lives of enslaved Africans and Lucayans, who once called this area home hundreds of years ago.

In an underwater sculpture garden near the coast of Clifton Heritage National Park, snorkelers can find the world’s tallest underwater sculpture, Ocean Atlas, which depicts a young Bahamian girl carrying the weight of the ocean on her shoulders.

A work of Jason De Caires Taylor, Ocean Atlas acts as a navigational aid for boaters, and conservationists hope that it will also promote the growth of corals—and, in turn—other marine life in the area.
