Nas: Atv guided tours best beaches, historical sites & lunch

On this comprehensive yet fun tour, you will be able to feel and see the natural beauty of Nassau, the vibrant energy and local flavor that is only found here. Your experienced local driver will guide you on an itinerary that will cover many significant historical and cultural locations. The tour will begin at The Rum Cake Factory, where you will have the opportunity to sample the six flavors that are made at the factory. Next, the Queens Staircase, the 102-ft., 65-step staircase carved from solid limestone by slaves in 1793, surrounded by lush, tropical vegetation. In the 1800s, the steps were named to honor Queen Victoria for her role in ending slavery in the British Empire. Right nearby is the Water tower. You will visit the famous tea store, Tasty Teas which was founded by mother and son. All of the different teas are made from organic Bahamian herbs, fruits, a spice. Moving on, you'll pass the Government House, the official residence of the Governor-General of the Bahamas. Painted a distinctively lovely Bahamian shade of conch pink, it is considered one of the finest examples of Georgian Colonial architecture in the Islands.
The immense Fort Charlotte, set on more than 100 acres, is another reminder of the city's past. Built between 1787 and 1790 to protect the west side of the harbor from attack, the fort is set on a hill overlooking Arawak Cay and offers superb views of the Nassau Harbor. And speaking of Arawak Cay, it is next up on our historical exploration of Nassau. Named after the original West Indian inhabitants of the island, Arawak Cay was built from the sands dredged during construction of Nassau's harbor. This bustling street in the heart of the city is known for its live music and Bahamian restaurants and bars offering authentic dishes and beverages, each with their own unique spin. Point your ATV toward the Caves, a place that is purported to have been used by pirates in the late 1600s and early 1700s, but is now home to much friendlier fruit bats. Walk down the stone stairs and let your imagination picture how pirates used it to store their barrels of rum and ill-gotten gains. Next enjoy a local Bahamian lunch with a beverage that will deliver a final, delicious taste of Nassau. Then take a nice ride along the outskirts and see the sandy beaches at Clifton pier and the Poinciana flowers that creates an arch for you to ride under. The tour will end at Shore to Shore location where local drinks will be waiting to refresh
