Discover Salt Cay & Nassau With Lunch And Beach

OVERVIEW

Enjoy a leisurely and enlightening walk through the capital of the Bahamas and then cruise to Salt Cay to relax on its paradisiacal beach. As you meander through the most historical areas of Nassau, the guide will describe its often tumultuous past when pirates such as the notorious Blackbeard ruthlessly raided merchant ships in the surrounding waters. You too will cruise these seas on the way to the private island Salt Cay. As you will discover during a walking tour there, 18th-century pirates and privateers harvested salt from its lagoon to preserve their food. Be sure to notice the defensive tower and cannons that once guarded the entrance to Nassau Harbor. Once you settle in, you will be served an authentic Bahamian lunch along with an iconic Bahama Mama, a blend of fruit liqueurs and rum, typically garnished with a pineapple wedge and cherry. Afterwards, you can relax on the beach or shop if you prefer.
