Nassau Highlights and Ardastra Gardens Tour in Nassau Bahamas
Discover Nassau’s Charms: History, Gardens, and the Famous Flamingo March on this Highlights And Ardastra Gardens Group Experience
Embark on an unforgettable journey through the heart of Nassau, Bahamas!
Begin with a scenic drive through the downtown core, soaking in the city’s vibrant energy. Your guide will tell you all about the history and rich culture while you pass historic landmarks.
You will see many of the Bahamian treasures like Parliament Square, where the legacy of Bahamian governance unfolds, and the majestic Queen’s Staircase, which is 66 steps carved out of solid limestone rock between 1793 and 1794 to create an escape route from the fort, is a testament to the island’s rich past. Your tour continues with glimpses of cultural treasures, including the National Public Museum, the iconic Royal Victoria Hotel, also known as the Royal Vic, is a historic hotel in Nassau, Bahamas (It was built in 1861 by the Bahamas government, it was the first and only luxury hotel on the island at the time.), and the bustling Straw Market, bursting with handmade crafts and souvenirs.
The highlight of your day awaits at the world-renowned Ardastra Gardens. Here, you can roam over five acres of a botanical wonderland. Stroll along winding paths dappled by the shade of towering palms, breathing in the sweet fragrance of exotic fruit trees and a kaleidoscope of tropical blooms. Coconut palms sway gently overhead, while ackee and mango trees offer glimpses of their delicious bounty. Brilliant bougainvillea and hibiscus blossoms explode in every imaginable color, adding to the visual feast.
Ardastra Gardens is not just about the stunning flora; It’s also a sanctuary for fascinating wildlife. Look for vibrant parrots perched among the branches, their calls echoing through the lush foliage. You might even spot a playful family of monkeys or a slow-moving tortoise.
And of course, we’ll make sure you arrive in time to witness the crown jewel of Ardastra Gardens: the marching flamingos! These magnificent birds, with their striking pink plumage, seem like something out of a fairytale. Their synchronized parade, guided by a friendly trainer, is a delightful spectacle of grace and whimsy. Watch as they bob their heads, turn in unison, and respond to commands with surprising precision. It’s a truly unforgettable image of the Bahamas.
After soaking up the tranquility of the gardens, your tour returns you to Prince George Wharf. Delight in a leisurely stroll through the charming shops you spotted earlier, or simply return to your ship, carrying the sights, sounds, and unforgettable experiences of Nassau with you. Find Prince George Wharf and all your other trip adventures on 2 night cruise.
