Destination overview

From the royal blue waters of the Exuma Sound to the crystal-clear green waters of Grand Bahama Island, the Bahamas archipelago includes 29 islands, 661 cays and 2,387 islets (rocks). Magnificent beaches of fine sand, accompanied by lush landscapes, give the destination a postcard appeal. The scenery is fantastic, both on land and underwater. The Bahamian ecosystem offers more than a thousand diving sites whether you scuba dive or just use a mask and snorkel. The Bahamas also provide some of life's little pleasures: feet in the sand, a glass of rum, good seafood, and the smile and warmth of the Bahamian people.

pros

  •  The warm transparent sea, omnipresent sunshine, and magnificent beaches.
  •  A high-quality tourist infrastructure.

cons

  •  Prices are adapted to the purchasing power of American or English tourists, which can seem expensive.
  •  The Bahamas are mostly a destination for leisure and relaxation; people looking for cultural activities will be disappointed.
  •  There is the risk of cyclones between June and November (maximum risk from August to October).

Bahamas Travel guide

Our Editorial team's advice

As far as possible, avoid snorkelling and scuba diving alone (always anticipate a third party being at the place you are diving in). Wear a t-shirt while snorkelling or put on plenty of sun cream to protect yourself from sunstroke. Never do any scuba diving 24h before a flight.
When moving around the archipelago, take a photocopy of your passport with you.
If you would like to meet the Bahamians, there is an interesting meeting programme called "people to people". This will allow you to spend a day with the inhabitants of New Providence, Grand Bahama, Eleuthera, the Exumas, the Abacos, the Biminis and San Salvador.
During your stay, do not miss:
- The opening of the High Court: 4 times a year (January, April, July and October), the opening of the High Court sessions gives rise to a superb procession in Nassau.
- The guard change at the Governor's Palace takes place on Nassau once every two Saturdays.
