Comprising many hundreds of islands, the Bahamas is much larger
than many people imagine, covering over five-thousand square miles.
With idyllic islands and sunshine much of the year round, the
Bahamas has long been a popular destination for honeymooners and
other special, unforgettable holidays. However, there is far more
here than just sun and sea, and a visit to the Bahamas will make
certain that you never run out of places to explore and wild
activities to participate in.
Flying directly to the international airports at either the capital,
Nassau or Freeport is the most common way people get to the Bahamas
and from Florida; there can be some very affordable deals. However,
another popular way of visiting the islands is by stopping over on a
cruise. Some of the longer cruises will allow you to spend several
days on the islands while others may only give you the opportunity
for a single overnight stay before continuing.
Virtually any time of year is a good time to visit the islands,
although the rainy season is better avoided if possible. Some people
are put off by the hurricane season, although hurricanes do not hit
the Bahamas anything like as frequently as people often assume. All
year round, temperatures range from comfortably warm to very hot,
but having a maritime climate and being located in the north of the
Caribbean, it is rarely stiflingly humid as are some of the other
islands in the south of the Caribbean.
The Bahamas is a favorite destination for those who want to
experience an idyllic tropical paradise complete with sandy beaches
and clear waters. Snorkeling, surfing, diving and swimming are the
obvious and most popular activities and are, of course, widely
accommodated for. You will also find plenty of cultural attractions
and other entertainment options on the islands and you can be sure
that, regardless of your reason for visiting the Bahamas, you will
not be running out of things to do.
The Bahamas also has a good selection of hiking and cycling trails
and some exploration through the luxuriant rainforests will
certainly not disappoint. For the more adventurous tourists, hang
gliding or rafting down the rivers will also make for an
unforgettable day out. For those interested in sea life, the Bahamas
certainly does not disappoint as well. Here you can see bottlenose
dolphins, sea lions and more. If you are going around Christmas to
the Bahamas, don’t forget to see the famous Junkanoo festival, a
popular street carnival held in various towns on the islands,
including Nassau.
For those who have more money to spend on a holiday and ideal for
those newlyweds who want to have an unforgettable honeymoon, one of
the best ways to visit the Bahamas is on a cruise. Different cruises
offer many different itineraries, so you do need to spend some time
doing your research to book your ideal holiday. There are various
islands in the Bahamas which are owned by the cruise lines and used
exclusively for their customers. |
