Just like many other vacations in the Caribbean, a Bahama Island vacation will put you in touch with the rich history of the sea and might just teach you something about the days of pirates and treasures beyond your wildest dreams.
It won't just be tales of Blackbeard or the Blue Hole of Andros that you experience but some of the most luxurious accommodations to help you laugh about those tall tales of the sea.
Besides the thousands of tales you might hear on the Bahamas, you will learn of the thousands of islands the Bahamas are made up of.
The main islands total about 23 but the smaller keys are endless.
Make things easier by considering the two ends of this chain.
They are Grand Bahama and Great Inagua.
Nassau is the most cosmopolitan area, located on Grand Bahama and Great Inagua is like the wildlife sanctuary of the Bahamas.
Beside the history you experience on your vacation, there is also a rich array of underwater parks.
More than 5% of the world's reef mass is located here and waiting for you to see it on your next Bahama vacation.
The underwater parks are also what created the wide variety of outdoor activities for a vacation.
You can enjoy the sea life while you are also sailing or snorkeling.
Thousands of miles of shoreline attract swimmers, surfers, kite-boarders, and sailors to enjoy the spectacular wildlife beneath their feet.
Don't end your vacation without allowing for a diverse cultural experience.
The charm and hospitality of the Bahmians can also become a lasting memory when you take advantage of a great government program that is offered on the main island.
Visitors on the Bahamas are given the chance to experience real Bahamian culture when they sign up for People-to-People, a cultural program that has been very successful.
Whether it's San Salvador, Harbour Island, Eleuthera, or the Exumas, you are going to love your Bahama island vacation and take home many lasting memories of the wonderful people and the rich experiences you had.
