Description

Admire landmark after landmark on this all-encompassing driving tour of Nassau and Paradise Island with a stop at the John Watlings Distillery. Highlights include palm-dotted Rawson Square, lovely government buildings such as the Supreme Court and the pink-hued House of Assembly, and the mega-resort and theme park Atlantis on aptly named Paradise Island. Other iconic sights include the Prime Minister’s residence, historical Graycliff Inn and Fort Charlotte. Built in 1788, the fort features a waterless moat, dungeons, underground passageways and dozens of cannons that have never been fired in an act of aggression. Continuing on, you will also visit a beautiful 18th-century estate downtown that is now home to a distillery named for buccaneer John Watling. The small-batch rum produced here is said to capture Watling’s bold spirit of adventure.
