Bahamas Vacation
I would love to visit the Caribbean some time. Everything about it is appealing, the long white beaches, crystal clear water and the friendliness of the people. I'd take in a cricket match, do a little bird watching and find a good steel drum band. My preferred plan would be to go on a Bahamas vacation.
There is such a lot to see and do on these islands. You can charter a boat and go on an island hop tour. That should keep you busy, there are over 700 islands at the last count. There are many ways in which to explore on a Bahamas vacation. You can rent a car, scooter or a bicycle (British driving regulations apply), or take a taxi. There are ferry services, including a fast service and it's also possible to take the slow route on the mailboat. Guided tours can be arranged.
Nassau, on New Providence Island, is the exciting capital city. It's a casino town and there is plenty of nightlife with live shows and clubs, and opportunities to learn about the history of the islands. There's some great restaurants and hotels too.
The islands are a paradise if you want a sporty time. Keen scuba divers and snorkellers love to go on a Bahamas vacation. There are 29 different locations where divers like to go and take advantage of the visibility in the water. They're rewarded with fabulous reefs, caves and numerous shipwrecks. Sharks are a common sight and you can go on trips for swimming with dolphins.
Fishing is another favorite activity here, including deep-sea fishing, flat fishing and bonefishing. You can charter a boat or stay in a fishing lodge. It's worth noting that spear fishing and spear guns are against the law here on a Bahamas vacation.
There are plenty other sports to pursue including golf on some of the finest courses. A Bahamas vacation is ideal for any sort of water sport, yachting or tennis. There's even a Conch Cracking Championship held every year!
The Exumas is a favorite haunt for yacht enthusiasts and sport fishermen. It has been the location for two James Bond films, Thunderball and Never Say Never Again. Christopher Columbus landed on San Salvador in 1492, on what was the top of a submerged mountain. It's a good location for experienced divers, looking for wreaks. Bird watchers like to go to The Berry Islands, where pelicans and terns nest.
