One of the most famous and surreal experiences in the Bahamas. It consists of a boat excursion to Big Major Cay, an uninhabited island where a colony of friendly pigs swim in the turquoise waters to welcome visitors. It is a unique photographic opportunity and an unforgettable experience.
For an authentic immersion in local culture and cuisine, there is nothing like visiting Arawak Cay in Nassau. This collection of colorful restaurants and food stalls is the perfect place to try delicacies such as conch salad or fried fish, all accompanied by local music and a festive atmosphere.
If your visit falls on Boxing Day (December 26) or New Year's Day, you can't miss Junkanoo. It is the largest cultural festival in the Bahamas, a spectacular carnival parade with thundering drum and cowbell music and elaborate crepe paper costumes. It is the soul of the Bahamas on full display.
The Bahamas is dotted with these fascinating geological phenomena, vertical underwater caves that open like deep blue holes in the seabed. Whether you're an experienced diver looking to explore its depths (like Dean's Blue Hole) or just want to swim around its edges, it's a breathtaking natural experience.
The best way to experience the diversity of the Bahamas is to charter a boat or join an excursion to explore various islands. Island chains such as the Exuma Cays or the Abaco Islands are perfect for this, allowing you to discover deserted beaches, pristine reefs and charming small towns.
Walk the colorful streets of downtown Nassau to discover its past. Climb the Queen's Staircase, a 66-step staircase carved into the rock by slaves, visit historic forts such as Fort Fincastle and Fort Charlotte, and admire the government architecture of Parliament Square.
The cuisine of the Bahamas is a reflection of its environment: fresh, tropical and focused on the treasures of the sea. The sea snail ('conch') is the undisputed king of the kitchen, prepared in countless ways. The flavors are a mix of African, British and Southern American influences, with a touch of heat and spice.
The sea snail is the national ingredient. It is found everywhere and is prepared in multiple ways: raw in salads, fried, in fritters or in soups. Trying it is essential to understand local gastronomy.
More than a way of cooking, the 'Fish Fry' is a social institution. It is a community gathering, often on the beach or in designated areas such as Arawak Cay, where fresh fried fish, conch dishes and other local delicacies are served in a relaxed and festive atmosphere.
The most emblematic dish. Raw snail finely chopped and 'cooked' in lime and orange juice, mixed with onion, peppers and tomatoes. It is a kind of fresh, spicy and delicious ceviche that is prepared at the moment.
Softened snail fillets, breaded and fried until golden and crispy. It is a hearty and very popular dish, often served with chips and various sauces.
The quintessential garnish that accompanies almost all dishes. Rice cooked with pigeon peas, spices, and often with pieces of salt pork or bacon for added flavor.
The local spiny lobster, which is prepared grilled, steamed or in salads. It is smaller than other lobsters but very tasty, and is a delicacy during its season.
A traditional soup or stew, often eaten for breakfast. It is prepared with meat (chicken, sheep's tongue or pig's trotters), which is simmered in a clear broth with lime juice, onion and peppers.
A dense and slightly sweet bread, halfway between a bread and a cake. It is baked in a pan and is the perfect accompaniment to stews and soups, or simply with butter.
Considered by many the national cocktail. It is a powerful and fruity blend of rum, coconut liqueur, and pineapple and orange juices. Each bar has its own secret recipe.
Another classic and very popular rum cocktail. It contains several types of rum, coffee and coconut liqueur, and pineapple juice. It is sweet, tropical and very refreshing.
The national beer of the Bahamas. Its name imitates the sound of the Junkanoo cowbells. It is a light and refreshing lager, perfect for the Caribbean climate.
A very powerful and popular local drink. It's a simple but deceptive blend of gin, fresh coconut water and sweet condensed milk, served over ice.
The national dessert par excellence. It is a kind of pudding or rolled cake, where the dough is filled with guava pulp and steamed or boiled. It is served hot, bathed in a delicious rum and butter sauce.
A dense and moist sponge cake, soaked in a generous rum syrup. It is a popular dessert throughout the Caribbean, and delicious versions are made in the Bahamas and are a very popular souvenir.
Small individual tartlets filled with a sweet and juicy mixture of grated coconut. They are a sweet and tropical snack very common in local bakeries.
A traditional and simple sweet made of sesame seeds (benny) cooked with sugar until they form a kind of nougat or crunchy tablet. It's an old school sweet.
The Bahamas is a mosaic of islands, each with its own personality. Next, we suggest you explore the country through different topics that will lead you to discover its many facets.
It is the main attraction. Pink Sands Beach on Harbor Island is world famous for its pink sand. Tropic of Cancer Beach in Exuma is a perfect crescent of white sand. And Cabbage Beach on Paradise Island offers miles of sand alongside luxurious resorts.
For a more authentic and relaxed experience, explore the 'Outer Islands'. Eleuthera will surprise you with its cliffs and hidden beaches. Cat Island offers almost total solitude and the highest point in the country. And Long Island is a paradise for diving and fishing.
The Bahamas is a paradise for divers and snorkelers. The Andros Barrier Reef is a vibrant ecosystem. In the Exuma Keys you can swim with nurse sharks at Compass Cay and explore Thunderball Grotto. And blue holes offer a challenge for the more experienced.
Nassau was a famous haven for pirates like Blackbeard. Follow in their footsteps at the Pirates of Nassau museum, explore the forts built to defend the island and admire the British colonial architecture of its pastel pink government buildings.
For those seeking glamor and fun, Paradise Island and the Cable Beach area of Nassau are the epicenter. The Atlantis resort, with its giant aquarium and water park, and the Baha Mar resort, with its casino and luxury restaurants, offer world-class entertainment.
The local currency is the Bahamian dollar (BSD), which is pegged 1 to 1 to the US dollar (USD). US dollars are accepted everywhere, so there is no need to exchange money if you are traveling from the US.
To move between the main islands, the quickest way is to take local flights. For a slower, cheaper experience, you can use the mailboats that serve the Out Islands, although their schedules can be irregular.
Tipping is common practice. Many restaurants and hotels automatically include a 15% service charge on the bill. If it is not included, leaving between 15% and 20% is normal for good service.
The Bahamas are generally a safe destination, especially in the 'Out Islands'. However, in Nassau it is recommended to take standard precautions: do not walk alone at night in poorly lit areas and be careful with valuables.
This guide gives you just a glimpse of everything the Bahamas has to offer. The real magic lies in finding 'your' island, whether it's the most vibrant or the loneliest. We encourage you to explore beyond your resort, chat with the locals, try every variety of 'conch' and let the relaxed rhythm of 'island time' wash over you. Enjoy paradise!
