The first is the Nassau Sightseeing & Ardastra Gardens (2 1/2 hours) starting at 8:30, the second is then Discover Atlantis Tour (2 1/2 Hours) Starting at 11:15 and lastly is the Bacardi Tour - starting at 2:00.

Now, the big question is – with 15 minutes between the end of one and the beginning of the next – is this doable? Is it worth running from one the other? If not, we can very easily drop the Discover Atlantis tour, and take the 2 hours, 45 minutes to leisurely make our way from the Ardastra Gardens to the Bacardi Distillery, having lunch on the way.

Second question is – where is the Ardastra Gardens in relation to the Bacardi Distillery? Is the Ardastra Gardens anywhere near the Versailles Gardens? Where are the Forts in relation to these areas? And lastly, the Queens Staircase; from what I have read and pictures I have seen, this appeals to us. Where is this located in relation to the rest?

Is there any way to get (or do any of you have) GPS coordinates for these locations so I can try and map them out to plan our day there?

Is there any activity or location (on Land) that I have missed that anyone would recommend?

Thanks in advance

Jim,

We did the Atlantis on our own and it was enjoyable. It's a once type thing, probably wouldn't go back and do it again. When we were through, we roamed the streets by the port. The shopping was a bit pricey, but still it was a good time just browsing.
