Clifton Heritage National Park

I love it! The staff was amazing with epic customer care! I came twice, on Saturday and then again on Sunday, Nov. 9th. The grounds are well-kept and the history is amazing. It was interesting to walk along the slave huts, a short walk, so enjoyable even in the hot midday sun!. The banana hole was interesting, wished if I had gone down to enjoy the eperience a bit more. A lot of birds chirping. Take a moment to sit on one of the benches, listen to the birds and the whispering, susurrus sound of leaves for a refeshing experience

You want to snorkel at this beach. The underwater status are very worth seeing while in the Bahamas. The beach is super quiet and very clean. You do have to pay to get on the beach because it is a national park but it was great.

My husband and I spent a fantastic afternoon at Clifton Heritage National Park today. We went on a tour (our guide was Vernita), and she told us the amazing story of John Canoe (actually Jan Kwaw), an African king and warrior who fought the trans-Atlantic slave ships in the 17th century. We also learned about Junkanoo, the ancient Lucayans (who lived in the Bahamas before Columbus), and saw the Primeval Forest and a lovely beach. Fantastic afternoon. Absolutely recommended.

Decent history tour and I really liked the sacred space. It’s $60 I feel like that’s a little too much but I’m happy to support. I wish more of the buildings were preserved but there was a fire in the 19th century and several hurricanes.

Wonderful place to dive, but very overpriced. Used to be $27 but now it’s $50 per person. Only come if you truly love snorkeling/free diving.

We came on a Saturday for the deluxe Beach day, they brought us lunch & saw six people the whole day. We had the beach pretty much to ourselves. It was spectacular and beautiful. We hung out at flipper Beach most of the day. We snorkeled at Jaws Beach and paid to have our car, so we could drive around. Came back the next day, because it was so wonderful and peaceful and quiet. We saw a total of 10 people. The snorkel Beach was open, so we snorkeled and had a good time.

A wonderful way to support local Bahamians while learning about part of their history. Also beautiful pristine beaches, friendly and knowledgeable staff, beautiful snorkeling location. This is a low key National Park run by locals. They are very accommodating and responsive. Ms. Carla Rutherford ensures all the details are taken care of. I signed up on their website for the combination heritage tour and snorkeling with lunch and transportation provided. After tax and VAT only $120. I was picked up at 9:30 at My hotel in Atlantis. We then stopped at the cruise ship terminal and picked up a woman and her three teenage children who booked a day at the beach with lunch. Not the snorkeling and heritage tour. It took about 40 minutes to be driven to the park. We all checked in at a little welcome booth. The I was dropped at the snorkeling beach and they were taken to flipper beach. Jason was the snorkeling guide and was fantastic. There are basic changing rooms, a porta potty and simple outdoor freshwater showers. I just to go in a lifejacket as I had not snorkeled in over 10 years. They did have lots of gear including snorkeling vests. Jason had prepared a mask for me so it would not fog up. He came out in a kayak with safety equipment so he could keep an eye on the surroundings as well as the people snorkeling. He was very clear in his communication and tailored the experience to the confidence of the people snorkeling. The sculpture was beautiful and the fish fantastic. The reefs are not brightly colored but the fish were. I did not go to the sunken plane but that is also an option. You need to bring your own towel. I was then taken to Flipper beach where they have some lounge chairs and a simple structure with changing rooms and a picnic table. We were brought a tasty lunch of hot pasta with shrimp and broccoli and garlic bread and a cold bottle of water. No options were given for other choices so if you have dietary restrictions I suggest you check in advance to make sure they can be accommodated. The beach was lovely with hardly anyone there. Calm water for swimming. After lunch I was driven to the start of the Heritage tour. Tash, the tour guide was great. Very engaging and handled any of my questions easily and with grace. The tour is very interesting and really helps give context to some of the history of the country. We were then driven back so the party of four could get back on their cruise ship. I was back at Atlantis by 3 pm. A really great day

We had the best time in Clifton, especially thanks to our driver Edmond! The national park is really nice and peaceful, we did some snorkeling and Edmond made sure we saw a lot of beaches nearby. There was almost now one else. He also explained a lot and answered all our questions. When snorkeling be aware that you have to swim out and the waves can make that quite exhausting
