The Bacardi and Company Ltd. Plant is a popular stop for visitors to New Providence Island. After the free distillery tour, try out the finished product in a variety of expertly mixed cocktails. The plant has professional bartenders on staff for just this purpose! And just in case you were wondering: those big tanks by Cliffton Pier actually hold Bacardi rum. Pipes run from the tanks out to a docking facility to fill up the huge cargo ships that transport the rum to Europe for bottling and distribution.

Kalik is the ubiquitous quaff of the Bahamas, and this is where it all originates. Tour the brewery where the beer is produced, and enjoy a couple of samples too ­ Kalik, Kalik Gold and Kalik Light. An interesting diversion, especially for beer lovers ­ call ahead to arrange a time.
