The park is still under development, but the potential is huge and it was well worth $10 fee to pay to snorkel to BREER's Ocean Atlas. If you enjoy snorkeling this is something not to be missed.

Mr Ford picked the four of us up at our condo right on time. After a short driving tour where he explained some sights we went to the park. Anne Marie our tour guide patiently explained the history of the park while I translated it for my Italian cousins. Thinking about how the slaves arrived there was very moving for all of us. Once the 45 minute walking tour was over we were driven to our choice of one of three beaches. We picked Johnstone beach and we weren't disappointed at all. The water was crystal clear. The snorkeling from the beach was fantastic once we found a way in between the rocks. Walking along the beach we saw lots of pretty seashells. Our tour package included a tasty lunch on the beach which was turkey, rice,vegetables and a choice of drink. We were again picked up right on time for our journey back. Everyone in our group was super happy with our choice to do the tour at Clifton Heritage Park and we all highly recommend it.

I have had the pleasure of visiting the park a few times and every time was distinctly different. The information ascertain from the tour is exceptionally astounding. The tour guides are filled with historical tidbits that's not well known which makes going back a pleasure. I have had friends visiting the site with me and they too were taken back by the wealth of information and how we all are historically connected.

Spent 2-3- hours there and didn't get to see everything. You get the history of the Lucayans and the early plantations and slave life. They were in the process of clearing our areas for people to picnic (grills available). It was very clean when we were there. I hope they protect the ruins as they aren't roped off and the signs telling you not to climb on the ruins aren't easily seen. The beaches are great - lots of places to explore. Very few people there but we loved it for that very reason. There is a $1 fee to get into some of the ruins. The tour (separate fee) wasn't available when we went (on a Sun).

It was a $7 bus ride on the #12B bus and bus driver asked what time we wanted to be picked up as no buses go there regularly. It cost $2 for park entry so that is a bargain. $20 to rent snorkel gear for 4 hours. The snorkelling is great here and I highly recommend it. My wife and I are avid photographers and we were very disappointed with the coastal wetlands. We did see blue herons, snowy egrets, great egrets but alond with these beautifil birds in the wetlands was lots of garbage, empty beer bottles, used condom. The Bahamas is really behind in the times for eco tourism.It appears they are doing alot of work here developing the area but If any Bahamian officials are listening....clean up all the trash and keep doing it.

I called Clifton and arranged for pick up for a group of ten, the driver was prompt and gave us a wonderful tour and had excellent knowledge of the sites and history of the area he drove us through to get to the Park. Once there we were given a historical tour of the plantation and slave houses by Tricia who did an exceptional job of explaining the history of the island. We then strolled around the grounds to see some of the sites while our lunch of hamburgers and chickenburgers with fries was prepared. Then off to the wonderful Johnstone beach at a very private and pristine location. We snorkeled, combed the beach for shells and relaxed. A truly wonderful and relaxing day where we all felt that we had learned some great history of the island and its inhabitants without the commercialism of Atlantis.

My husband and I were looking forward to visiting this place after reading the Trip Advisor reviews, but we ended up feeling quite disappointed. The good thing about the park is that almost no one goes there. In other words, if you are looking to get away from the crowds, this is a great place to go. There was one other family there. Unfortunately, the good stops there. There are several major problems with the park. First, there is trash, including a great deal of broken glass, everywhere! It's such a shame, because it should be a beautiful place. What baffled me is that there were several employees sitting around doing nothing. I don't understand why they don't clean the place up. Second, snorkeling pretty much sucks. There simply isn't much to see. Third, there is a oil refinery right next to the park that leaks oil into the ocean. My husband and another man ended up swimming into an oil slick when they were in a designated snorkeling area on the west side of the park. The guys were covered in oil, which as you can imagine, does not come off easily.If you are still interested in visiting, I recommend renting a scooter or buggy (glorified go-kart) from Unique Rentals: http://www.uniquerentalsbahamas.com. We rented a buggy. My husband enjoyed driving it. It was fun to get around d in, but I did not like the sensation of inhaling fumes during the entire drive.

If you are going to Nassau, Bahamas, you must must must get out of tourist and cruise ship land and go to Clifton Heritage National Park at the top of the island to get a real taste of the history of this land. Joseph Ford, our tour guide and driver to the top of the island was very informative about all the sites and attractions on the way. And, might I add, so gracious and funny! It is wonderful to see everything about the place you are visiting. When we got to the park, we met Tricia, our beautiful and wonderful and learned tour guide. We cannot say enough about her. She led us through the ruins of master and slave dwellings with such a thorough understanding of history and humanity, and also spoke of the history of piracy and privateering with such a complete understanding of how all of it evolved and fit together. Part of this experience is that after our tour, Joseph then drove us through the jungle to a deserted beach and left us there to enjoy a really superb picnic lunch on our own private beach - just the sound of the wind and the waves and ther gulls...heavenly! Do, do, do get out of tourist land on Nassau and experience Clifton Heritage National Park, a place protected from development, and cherished. And when you go there, tell Joseph and Tricia that Gene and Denise still dream love of them!!! Please see them at www.cliftonheritage.org :)

We booked Cheryl's taxi to bring us to this remote end if the island. Much more reasonable than taking the tour from Clifton. We visited the slave homes and grand house to learn about the history of the region. The real attraction for me is the natural beauty of the area. Virtually private beaches with absolutely stunning views. We spent some time at flipper beach. There are shelters where we had a picnic lunch by the sea.
