Once you are ready to roll you will follow your guide as you head off on your 2 and a half hour adventure around the eastern portion of Nassau. First, you will head to Fort Fincastle. Fincastle is constructed of limestone, it was built in 1793 on top of Bennet's Hill. Lord Dunmore had the fort built in the shape of a paddle-wheel steamer. The second sight you will visit is the Queen's Staircase, which was built after Fort Fincastle was completed. Direct access was needed to the top of Bennet's Hill, prompting the start of the Queen's Staircase. It was eventually named after Queen Victoria, who in 1837 signed a declaration to abolish slavery.

Hop back on your ATV and take off towards the Straw Market, located on Bay Street in downtown Nassau. Here you will get a chance to purchase your own authentic Bahamian craft! Be ready to negotiate a price on many handcrafted items such as conch shell jewelry, hand-woven straw bags, hats, or dolls, wooden carvings and more. After you've satisfied your itch to shop, climb back aboard your ATV to continue your excursion.

Next, you will stop at Fort Charlotte, another limestone fortress built by Lord Dunmore in 1788. This fort is equipped with 42 cannons, dungeons, a moat and underground passageways! Afterwards, you will cruise to the Government House, the official residence of the Governor General of Bahamas.
