Bahamas

Hey, mon – come to the Bahamas. Yes, you've heard the call, the siren's song pulling you to this island paradise. Why you've resisted, it's hard to say. There's so much to see in the Bahamas, you won't be sorry if you give in. The Bahamas is a 100,000 square mile archipelago extending over 500 miles of water. There are 700 islands, both public and private, to explore and enjoy. If you want to escape it all, find a paradise and renew your soul, just imagine spending your vacation time on one of the hundreds of beaches, overlooking the clearest water on earth. You can swim, snorkel, scuba-dive, sail, fish, kayak, and enjoy any number of other water sports. If you want something beyond the ordinary, try swimming with dolphins or even a pirate ship tour. And, the Bahamas is also a great place for private flying, parasailing, helicopter and balloon tours. And beyond sun and sand, there are plenty of historical and culture adventures to explore here! This country has a rich history generated in great part by its ideal location. Even before Christopher Columbus landed there, the culture was shaped by Lucayan Indians. Many explorers and other travelers have spent time in the Bahamas, including Puritans, British loyalists, blockade runners, privateers and pirates. Over time, the islands developed rich and varied traditions, music, art and even language. All of these parts that make up the whole of the Bahamas make it a fascinating, fun and glorious place to escape from the ordinary.
