Top 5 Things to Do in Nassau This Weekend (According to a Local Driver)
Planning a weekend getaway to Nassau, Bahamas? Whether you’re arriving on a cruise ship or flying in for a few days, there’s no shortage of culture, flavor, and fun to discover. As a certified local tour operator, here are my top 5 must-do experiences that make your weekend unforgettable — plus how to get there stress-free.
1. Climb the Queen’s Staircase
This historic limestone staircase was carved by slaves in the late 1700s and offers a cool, shaded climb through Bahamian history. It’s one of the top photo spots in Nassau — and a great way to kick off your city tour.
Local Tip: Come early to beat the crowds and get the best lighting for photos.
2. Taste Real Bahamian Rum Cake
Stop by the Rum Cake Factory and try a free sample of their famous cakes. These moist, flavorful treats are baked daily and infused with local rum — perfect for souvenirs or just to enjoy during your stay.
Don’t Miss: The pina colada or banana rum cake flavors!
3. Tour John Watling’s Distillery
Take a self-guided tour of this historic estate and learn how Bahamian rum is made. Sip on handcrafted cocktails while walking through lush gardens and colonial architecture.
Best Time to Visit: Midday for fewer crowds and cooler drinks.
4. Catch the Vibes at Potter’s Cay Dock
Enjoy a plate of fresh conch salad while you watch local fishermen prepare seafood right out of the water. This dockside spot is full of flavor, color, and authentic Bahamian life.
Recommended Dish: Spicy conch salad with a Kalik beer.
5. Go Off-Road with an ATV Tour
