What to Expect on Your First Island Jeep Tour in Nassau
Three hours, six stops, one island. Here’s everything you need to know before you climb in and hit the road with Bowcar Rentals.
There’s a version of Nassau that most visitors never see. The real Nassau — the forts, the fish fry, the colonial staircases, the local restaurants — is out there waiting. The jeep is how you find it.
Bowcar Rentals’ Island Jeep Tour has been running since 2002 and remains one of the most popular ways to see Nassau. You cover the highlights of the entire island in just three hours, guided by someone who actually grew up here and knows every story behind every stone.
01 Jeep Tour vs ATV — Which Is Right for You?
Both tours cover Nassau’s best landmarks. The difference is in how you ride and who’s doing the driving.
02 Before You Arrive — What to Prepare
Arrive at least 15 minutes before your tour start time. If you’re coming from the cruise port, look for the Ground Transportation sign — we’re in the Rental Center with the Bowcar logo on the window. If running late call 1 242 557 2223.
03 What the Tour Actually Looks Like
The Island Jeep Tour runs for three hours and takes you to Nassau’s most iconic landmarks and authentic local spots.
The open top of the jeep means you catch every sea breeze as you roll along the Nassau coastline. Your guide shares history, jokes and local knowledge all the way. By the time you sit down to lunch, the group of strangers you started with feels like old friends.
04 Your Questions Answered
Nassau drives on the left, but your guide leads the convoy the entire way. You simply follow the vehicle ahead. Most guests find it much easier than expected after the first few minutes.
Absolutely! Children of all ages are welcome on the Jeep Tour. Children 5 and under must be in a car seat — please bring your own. Kids love the open-air ride and food stops especially.
