Description

Begin your experience at Ardastra Gardens & Wildlife Conservation Centre, where you can stroll through shady tropical gardens, spot native birds and animals, and witness the famous marching flamingos (entry optional, family-friendly). Continue with a scenic drive through Chippingham and Arawak Cay, where local fish fry stalls, pastel houses, and waterfront bars offer a glimpse of daily island life beyond the cruise terminal. Next, head west to Love Beach, a quiet, lesser-visited stretch of soft sand and clear water. Enjoy a walk, swim, or beachside rest far from the crowds. Then explore Clifton Heritage National Park (optional entry), a nature and history reserve featuring coastal trails, cliffside views, old ruins, and an offshore underwater sculpture garden—perfect for a light hike, photos, or snorkeling if desired. From there, follow the scenic Southwest Road Coastal Drive, where dramatic limestone edges meet glowing turquoise sea. Few tourists make it this far, and the views alone are worth the ride. Pause for a cultural detour at Adelaide Village, one of the oldest freed-slave settlements in the country. The quiet streets and modest homes speak to a rich legacy of Bahamian perseverance and community. Stop for an optional local lunch at a roadside shack or family-owned eatery, where your driver can recommend fresh conch salad, grilled snapper, or fried plantains—whatever your taste prefers. In the afternoon, loop around to the east coast and visit the relaxing waterfront area of Palm Cay Marina, an upscale marina with cafés, gelato bars, and views of anchored yachts. Wrap up your loop at Yamacraw Beach or Montagu Bay, both peaceful spots where locals unwind. Enjoy a short walk or cool drink by the sea before heading back to your hotel or ship.
