ATV Riding Nassau: Drive Your Own Can-Am or Kawasaki

You drive the ATV, not a guide in a van: Nassau's forts and beaches unfold at your own throttle.

The tour includes free pickup from hotels or the cruise port, a guide, helmet, samples at the Bahama Mama Factory and a rum distillery, and third-party liability insurance.

The experience

What makes this different from a van tour is the machine itself. You're operating the ATV, not watching someone else drive. The tour runs 3 to 4 hours and covers Nassau's historical landmarks: Fort Charlotte, where you photograph original cannon guns with the Atlantic behind you; the Queen's Staircase, 66 limestone steps carved by hand between 1793 and 1794, set against green trees and a waterfall; and Government House, the official residence of the Governor General. A guide leads the route and narrates each stop, but the riding is yours.

The 45-minute beach stop is the centerpiece, not a quick photo moment but actual time to swim, wade or lie on sand with water clear enough to see through to your toes. Between the landmarks, the route passes multi-million-dollar waterfront homes visible across the harbor. You'll also stop at the Bahama Mama Factory, a local spot opened in 2021, where you sample the signature frozen Bahama Mama, conch fritters, and rare Dole Whip flavors; the rum distillery for a tasting of Caribbean blends; and Tasty Teas Bahamas, a handmade tea and body care shop in the historic Charles Towne area. Food and premium drinks are available for purchase at these stops if you want more than the samples.

Pickup is free from any Nassau hotel or directly from the cruise port. The tour location is a 20-minute walk from the port if you prefer to meet there. You choose at checkout whether to drive your own ATV or share one with a partner, spouse or child. Either way, the price is $129 per driver, and the helmet and insurance are included. Drivers must be at least 21 with a valid license. Children can ride as passengers from age 5 on a shared ATV.
