    Snorkeling into petroleum
    Great scuba diving until we swam into an oil leak from a tanker ship close by. Talking to the local people this boat has been here for 3 years and keep transferring petroleum to another tanker or pipeline. Parc manager has been fair and returned our money. It took us a lot of efforts to remove oil from our body, hair and material. This parc explains on their brochure everything they do to protect eco system….

    Disappointing
    Gorgeous beach, blue water, sandy beach. No lawn chairs or public services. No rest rooms or wash areas. It is just a beach, the trails and viewing areas of the park have not been maintained.
    Hello, Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback and we are saddened you did not enjoy your experience with us. We are not quite sure which beach you were to, but there are restrooms on or near our private beaches and lounge chairs are brought out everyday for our guests to enjoy, once the weather allows.

    Friendly staff, excellent Bahamian dish of the day at a good price. Snorkeling was great but not happy that I was covered in a thin film of oil from the oil depot 1/2 a mile away which put a downer on my day. The Bahamian Govt needs to wake up and think of an alternative, friendlier way of generating electricity. This pollution is such a shame and as a Bahamaian who lives overseas I feel disgusted with my home country.

    Waste of time and money
    We paid $27 each for a tour guide who got there half an hour late and we got to see three slave buildings and a banana hole. They need to up their game. Very disappointing. Also, we paid $10 to be able to drive in our van, instead of walking and the signage is terrible. We got stuck in the sand because of the poor signage and ended up paying $250 for a wrecker to pull our van out of the sand. The waters at Cabbage Beach are beautiful. Getting to that beautiful beach is a nightmare. You all need to up your game.
    DrLinda712, We are saddened that you did not enjoy your experience with us but are grateful that you took the time to provide valuable feedback. We apologize that your experience was less than ideal, and we hope you will give us another chance to prove ourselves.

    No place for the over 65s
    No place for the over 65s! We weren’t actually able to visit this park, despite having rented a car for the day specifically so to do. We had not booked a tour because I had read the small print which says only age 12 to 65 years are allowed. However we thought we could do the snorkelling independently – but no! Despite us both being PADI certified divers, with considerable snorkelling experience we were not permitted. I cannot find this information anywhere on their website. There is no waiver. Yesterday we dived and snorkelled with sharks! Authorities decree we can’t make a risk decision for ourselves above a certain age. Disgusting and disappointing.

My boyfriend and I did the snorkeling at heritage park with our guide Javon. He was very informative. I have been snorkeling a few times before and this was the best snorkeling experience I’ve had. We saw tons of fish and even a southern sting ray. It lasted about 45min-1hour. They supply snorkel gear. So I would definitely recommend. There was also a beautiful beach 5 min walk from the snorkeling it was absolutely gorgeous and it was almost private. Thank you Javon we had so much fun.

We had stopped here during our ATV tour and it was a great experience. Once we got there, we were greeted by a lady who gave us a tour of different spots throughout the park. She was very knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of interesting information about the land and its history.

It was a wonderful experience. We took the slave tour and really felt the tour guide brought everything alive for us! Lunch was good too! Octavia was the best! We loved the driver Joseph Ford. He gave us a history lesson on the ride to the park.

This is definitely the best beach to go and get away from the crowds. I paid for the beach package and it was awesome. Our bus driver Mr. Ford picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off afterwards at the hotel. He had a lot of local knowledge about the Bahamas. Fantastic host!

A beautiful, secluded beach day, snorkeling, and amazing people. My family of four did the snorkeling deluxe tour while stopped in Nassau on a cruise. Joseph picked us up right outside of the cruise port and gave us historical facts and sites as we drove to the national park. Snorkeling was beautiful, there were several colorful fish, coral reefs, and the sunken statures were breath taking. After snorkeling, we were taken to one of the beaches at the park for a beach day. The beach was like a postcard and we had it all to ourselves! Joseph delivered lunch around noon and then came back at 2 to take us back to the cruise port. I would recommend this tour to anyone coming to New Providence Island.

Clifton Heritage National Park was totally worth the drive from Nassau/Paradise Island. We did the heritage tour with Octavia who was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned so much about the history of New Providence and getting to see slave structures still standing over 200 years later was very memorable. Highly recommend!

It was a beautiful experience. Defiantly would only recommend to people who know how to swim even with a life vest. So awesome to see and the tour guide Octavia was very knowledgable! Loved it, glad we went!

If you want peace and solitude, this is the place to go. We visited two days in a row. The first day we wandered the property learning about the history and touring the ruins. The second day, we went for a guided snorkel tour and spent some time soaking up the sun and sea breeze on the beach which we had all to ourselves save a couple that was probably a hundred yards away. The snorkeling was beautiful and we were blessed to see a pair of eagle rays. All the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.

We also got to see some local wildlife including a few hermit crabs, some giant caterpillars, terns, and little ghost crabs.
