The Bahamas: Exciting Adventure or Quiet Getaway?
Are you considering a vacation filled with fishing, dolphin swimming, snorkeling, hiking, parasailing, and boating followed by nights spent dancing and romancing in the hottest clubs? Or would you prefer to get away from the crowds and experience a quiet retreat of massages, spas, warm water swims and peaceful, moonlit nights? Perhaps you'd like all of the above? Then let our experienced and knowledgeable travel agents book you into the vacation package of a lifetime in the Bahamas!
Grand Bahama Island is just 70 miles from the coast of Florida, and the 2nd most popular tourist destination in the islands. It's an intoxicating mix of excitement and serenity, with miles of pristine beaches and luxury resorts. You can snorkel in the warm water bays by day and experience the thrill of gambling in the casinos at night. On a chartered boat, fishermen can enjoy plenty of deep water sport near the island, or angle for the reef fish like yellowtail, snapper, and grouper. Shoppers can enjoy excursions in Freeport and Port Lucaya, where they will find jewelry and designer clothes as well as local arts and crafts from the native population. Grand Bahama Island is a place where the fun never stops and the excitement goes on 24 hours a day.
For those looking for a private retreat, the many smaller islands and cays - pronounced "keys" - provide tranquility enough for the most seclusion-loving soul. Fortunately, you don't have to give up amenities in order to get away from it all in the Bahamas. Rental condos and villas are tucked into some of the most serene bays and above some of the most private, secluded beaches imaginable.
- On Harbour Island, known as Biland by the natives, visitors will find a relaxed atmosphere that's slightly rustic, a perfect spot for rest and rejuvenation.
- Eleuthera's unique, pink sand beaches only hint at the sense of freedom from cares you can experience while you're walking on them.
- Inagua is a popular spot with naturalists and bird-watchers, who come yearly to the West Indies to observe the largest colony flamingoes in the Caribbean.
- If it's sailing you love, then come to Abaco, the sailing capital of the world. There, on a hired yacht, you can get away from it all by boating in over 130 square miles of protected waters and offshore cays. Sometimes you can sail for days before you'll encounter another boat!
- The largest Bahamian island, Andros is also the least densely populated. It's a largely unspoiled paradise, full of green foliage punctuated with wild orchids of every color imaginable. It's a perfect island retreat for those who prefer a quiet vacation.
