Explore the Bahamas
The Islands of The Bahamas are a group of shimmering gems sprinkled across 100,000 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean north of the Caribbean Sea, featuring every shade of crystal-clear blue water.
This ecological paradise comprises 700 breathtaking islands, over 2,000 rocks and cays, and it boasts the clearest water on the planet. There are 16 main islands to visit in The Bahamas, each offering its own enticing mix of nature, adventure, culture and relaxation.
With the lure of a big city and the ease of the tropics, Nassau & Paradise Island are considered by many as, well, paradise. Nassau, the capital of The Bahamas, is a bustling metropolitan hub full of culture and modern amenities and also a popular cruise port.
Treasure hunters can explore the sunken Spanish Galleons off Grand Bahama Island, while boaters will enjoy sailing into the sunset around The Abacos, the Sailing Capital of The Bahamas.
With hundreds of thousands of miles of clear tropical waters, it’s not surprising that Bimini has been designated the Big Game Fishing Capital of The Bahamas. Adventurous anglers can cast for marlin, swordfish or wahoo along the Gulf Stream, while fly fishing aficionados cast for the elusive bonefish off Long Island or Acklins & Crooked Island.
Nature lovers will flock to Inagua to catch a glimpse of the over 80,000 flamingos (the national bird of The Bahamas) who call this island home, and eco explorers will be drawn to Andros and its mesmerizing blue holes — mile-deep abysses teeming with vibrant marine life, and the world’s third largest coral barrier reef.
From endless pineapple fields to white- and pink-sand beaches to secluded coves and miles of coastlines, Eleuthera & Harbour Island epitomize the splendor of The Bahamas.
The Exumas are the ultimate escape for a little more solitude and privacy, the largely uninhabited Berry Islands will fit the bill.
History buffs can meander along the same beach on San Salvador where Christopher Columbus made his first landfall in the New World, and lovers of folklore can revel in authentically Bahamian Rake & Scrape music on Cat Island.
And, if peace, tranquility and the feeling of time standing still is what you are seeking, Ragged Island, Mayaguana and Rum Cay are your ticket to paradise.
Whether you're island-hopping on a cruise, indulging in the luxury of small-ship cruising, or spending a week exploring aboard a catamaran or live-aboard yacht, there's something undeniably magical about experiencing the Bahamas by boat. Discover the unique charm of each island, enjoy breathtaking sunsets on the open sea, and create unforgettable memories as you navigate the stunning turquoise waters of this tropical paradise.
Breathtaking panoramic views, silken white- and pink-sand beaches, spectacular sunsets and exotic hideaways are just a few reasons why The Islands of The Bahamas are the ultimate romance destination. With so many spectacular beaches embracing stunningly clear waters, planning a waterside wedding in The Bahamas is easy, but their natural wonders provide incredible wedding venues across the islands as well. And don't forget all the opportunities to explore the Bahamas for the honeymoon after!
Underwater adventurers would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in the world that is so full of awe-inspiring, memory-making dive experiences. From “flying” thousands of feet down cliff walls to watching prehistoric-looking creatures weave in and out of colorful reefs to being rendered breathless as a hammerhead shark gently swims by, The Islands Of The Bahamas offer an unrivalled underwater wonderland.
The world-famous and awe-inspiring Atlantis on Paradise Island has something for everyone. Built around the 141 acre Aquaventure Water Park, there are more than 20 swimming areas and 11 distinct pools, or decide to relax on five miles of pristine beaches. This stunning resort boasts one of the world’s largest marine habitats and aquarium exhibits — breathtaking designs showcase exotic marine life from dolphins and sharks to stingrays and turtles and of course, an abundance of tropical fish. There’s also the chance to get up close and personal with both dolphins and sea lions at Dolphin Cay or snorkel the Ruins of Atlantis, where visitors can swim alongside giant manatees.
