Nassau’s caves were created by the sea, millions of years ago. The area that is now the caves was originally at sea level, and ocean waves gradually wore away the softer parts of the sedimentary rock, leaving what are now large hollows. The Lucayans, the original inhabitants of The Bahamas, used the caves for various purposes, including food storage and to protect themselves during hurricanes. These caves are now home to fruit bats. If you are lucky, you may even get to see one!

Me matey, the dashing Dexter, was a grand pirate tour guide for our day in Nassau! We were welcomed one block from the cruise ship port, climbed aboard our own jeep and whisked off to see the sights of New Providence. The Bahamian people seemed super friendly and we loved visiting the cave, Fort Fincastle, rum distillery, chocolate and cigar makers. Having a private tour made us feel like we were making new friends and getting a more authentic feel for the island a bit outside of the tourist bubble. Now we know about potcakes! It was great to learn some Bahamian history and get to experience a bit of local culture and we still had time to enjoy a delicious conch salad at the fish fry, shop for souvenirs at the straw market and stroll the beach on the way back to our ship. We highly recommend Dexter, Dan and the pirate crew to anyone visiting Nassau! We hope to be back.This was our first trip to Nassau via Royal Caribbean and we were so glad we booked this tour.

BOOK. THIS. TOUR. How do you go to the Caribbean without learning about pirates? We had the option to book a Jeep excursion through our cruise, but based on TripAdvisor and Google reviews, I chose Pirate Jeep Tours. We enjoy tours with personality and boy did this one have it! Daniel was our pirate guide, and as a native Bahamian, he was able to give us not only pirate history, but information about the island of Nassau and life the Bahamas in general. He had a great sense of humor and joked back and forth with us throughout the entire tour. He was patient, allowed us to take our time at each site, and always had a tidbit to share. He even was kind enough to find us at the beginning of the tour when we were lost in Rawson Square! He pointed out is favorite places to get authentic Bahamian food and made recommendations for traveling to the Bahamas in the future, recommending that we take the time to visit some of the outlying islands in addition to Nassau. His insight was great and we really felt like we were touring the island with an expert. 100% recommend and would go again - ask for Daniel and you can't go wrong! :)We had the BEST time on our Pirate Jeep Tour.

We had the BEST time on our Pirate Jeep Tour. We wanted to get out of our Resort and see more of Nassau and the pirate guides were fantastic! We saw amazing sights, learned about the Bahamas' history, saw fascinating landmarks and historical sights AND got to visit some businesses with delicious treats. This was a wonderful way to get to know more about the Bahamian culture. Don't miss out on this adventure!!!Our tour guide was great. He was very knowledgeable about the island, but was also very entertaining. It was fun learning about the history of the Bahamas. The cigar factory was unique, the distillery was a little disappointing.
