What to do

The Culture Tour offers a unique look into Bahamian culture through a guided experience that explores local traditions, history, and handcrafted products.

The tour begins with a visit to a “down home” Bahamian Junkanoo shack, where you will see how the Bahamas’ native festival comes to life. You will discover how the large, hand-crafted costumes are made and learn about the distinctive sound of Junkanoo music. Next, you will visit Fort Charlotte, one of the largest forts in the Caribbean, on a guided tour highlighting its historical significance.

Afterwards, the experience continues at the Tasty Teas complex, a Bahamian-owned and operated location offering a selection of locally crafted products, including teas, soaps, sponges, and woodwork, along with tastings. The tour concludes at the John Watlings Rum Distillery, located on the site of an old plantation, where you will tour the historic mansion, learn about the history of the Bahamas beginning in 1492, and observe the production of Bahamian rum, including the hand-filling of bottles from the barrels.
