What you can expect

Dive into the deep-rooted Bahamian culture with influences from England, Spain, and parts of West Africa, and learn the history behind this unique nation. Led by knowledgeable guides, learn the art of Junkanoo, sample from a local chocolate factory, and tour the production of fine Bahamian rum.

The tour begins with an introduction to Junkanoo, an elaborate and traditional Caribbean dance that dates back to the days of slavery. Visit a “down home” Junkanoo shack, and see first-hand how these elaborate costumes are put together to create a Bahamian extravaganza. Listen to the vivacious music of trumpets and hypnotic drums as the dance is performed right in front of you.

Next, stop at the Graycliff Chocolate Factory for delectable samples of hand-crafted Bahamian chocolate. Indulge in exclusive flavours like lime, mango, sweet-tomato basil, and bacon. Here you will also visit a Bahamian History Museum where you will dive into the rich past of our wonderful islands.

The last stop is the John Watlings Distillery, where you embark on a self-guided tour of the old plantation’s antiques and exhibits, dating back to when Columbus first landed in 1492. As the sweet smell of fresh sugarcane molasses overwhelms you, venture to the distilling showroom and sample a few varieties.
