crmc Posted October 5, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2015 We will be in Nassau is Jan. with our adult children and 3 toddler grandchildren. We are considering a carriage ride and/or the zoo. Has anyone done the carriage ride lately? What is the cost and what did you see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseapril Posted October 6, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 6, 2015 We took a carriage ride to the zoo. Next time will take a taxi as the carriage ride was too fast and bumpy. The Ardastra Gardens and Zoo was a good excursion. The website has good photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crmc Posted October 7, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Did you see anything on the way to the zoo or was it just transportation? How did you get back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseapril Posted October 9, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 9, 2015 It was a new form of transportation for us, but in too much traffic! The Ardastra Gardens and Zoo is an enjoyable place to go to by taxi. They have Marching Flamingo shows. For touring Nassau, we prefer a taxi to specific sites. There are also some bus tours.

Rare CruisinCrow Posted October 9, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Personally, I would skip the carriage ride and just go to the zoo. Try to time your visit with one of the lorry parrot feedings. That is a lot of fun. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giantfan13 Posted October 10, 2015 #6 Share Posted October 10, 2015 We walked to the zoo. It is about a mile and a half, but there are stretches where there aren't many people. We never felt worried or threatened, but next time I would take the #10 bus--much quicker and very easy. http://ardastra.com/ We enjoyed ourselves there and we are 2 seniors. Kids will love it, especially for the parrot feeding and parade of the flamingos. Just be aware, it isn't very large and I would say the most amount of time one could spend there is about 2-3 hours. I've posted these before, but here are a few of my pixs from the zoo. http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz267/Giantfan13/bahamas/IMG_5475_zps7fcb9e9f.jpg http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz267/Giantfan13/bahamas/IMG_5450_zps52b114c4.jpg http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz267/Giantfan13/bahamas/IMG_5538_zps892633f0.jpg http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz267/Giantfan13/bahamas/IMG_5463_zps35e3e3dc.jpg http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz267/Giantfan13/bahamas/IMG_5491_zps8ee10d8d.jpg Cheers Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linnythepooh Posted October 18, 2015 #8 Share Posted October 18, 2015 We did the carriage ride this week. The cost was 40.00 but quickly went down to 30.00. We enjoyed the ride. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
