Why The Bahamas?
As a country made up exclusively of islands, cays and coral reefs, this unique archipelago covers an area of 250 000 km2 in the Atlantic ocean stretching from the shores of Florida and Cuba.
The Bahamas are made up of 16 main islands that represent a large and unique region; each island has its own particularity and identity.
The most visited and populated islands are Nassau/Paradise Island and Grand Bahama Island. Both offer the largest selections in terms of accommodation, facilities and services.
The others, less famous but more authentic and preserved, are: The Abacos, Andros, The Berry Islands, Bimini, Cat Island, Eleuthera/Harbour Island, The Exumas, Long Island, Inagua, Rum Cay, San Salvador, Mayaguana, Acklins/Crooked Islands and Ragged Island.
The unique charm and character of The Bahamas come mostly from the beauty of the waters and the wonders of the underwater world.
The subtle variations of blue and green are found around the islands: green crystalline waters in Grand Bahama Island; deep blue in the Exuma Sound. These waters and their natural treasures are ideal for seekers of aquatic adventures.
Any dream is possible: from the tranquillity of the long secluded beach to the rhythm of the local festivals.
The Islands Of The Bahamas are the ideal destination to organize business trips and conventions. Professionals are guaranteed to find onsite quality services and efficient event planners. It is also very easy to have twin centre packages combining Nassau or Freeport with another island of The Bahamas, with Florida or any of the major US East coast cities. Easily Accessible

Although the roots of the Junkanoo parade remain subject to long and passionate debates, what is agreed is that, after centuries of practice, today's cultural extravaganzas have become the most entertaining street carnivals of not only The Bahamas, but also the world at large. With the costumes, dance and music inspired by a different theme each time, preparations for the Boxing Day, New Year's Day, Bahamas Junkanoo Carnival (May) and summer time Junkanoo (June-July) literally take months and bring together men and women from all different walks of life. What happens at Junkanoo? Long before the spectacular 'rush-out', the exuberant Junkanoo dance troupes - groups of up to 1,000 - will have been busy rehearsing their dazzling routines. The musicians will have perfected the hypnotic rhythms they'll perform day and night on a cacophony of goatskin drums, cowbells, whistles and horns, and the imaginative costume designers will have worked non- stop to weave their own special magic with beautifully coloured crepe paper and cardboard. As the Junkanoo parade moves through the streets of downtown Nassau in the early hours of the morning (generally from 2am to 10am), the energy of the dancers and the beat of the music motivates the vast crowds of supporters and spectators to start moving in their seats, or on their feet, or in the trees, or on balconies - wherever they have found a spot from which to watch this soul-stirring festival! At the end of the famous Junkanoo procession, judges award cash prizes for the best music, best costume and best overall group presentation. DMC’s in Nassau/Paradise Island

Flying down the Exuma Cays, looking down on the tiny jewel-like islands and every shade of blue on blue on blue possible, where the crystal-clear tropical Atlantic pours over the deep cuts between the cays and the constantly shifting sandbars that look like meditative sand paintings, has been named one of the top ten things you absolutely must do in the Caribbean. The area is so precious - it’s reefs and island environments so pristine - that the Bahamian government set aside a 456-square-km section as the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, one of the world’s most successful marine parks.
