Where 700 islands are strewn across some of the clearest water anywhere on the planet and the swimming pigs are no myth — your once-in-a-lifetime Bahamas escape, designed with care from the United States.
The Bahamas is a sweeping archipelago — 700 islands and 2,400 cays spread over 100,000 square miles of the western Atlantic, sitting closer to the US mainland than to most of the Caribbean. Its waters are widely regarded as the clearest on Earth, with underwater visibility that regularly tops 200 feet.
Most travelers base themselves in Nassau (Paradise Island and Atlantis) or hop over to the Exumas — home of the swimming pigs at Pig Beach and famous James Bond film sets — or Grand Bahama. With direct hops as quick as 45 minutes from Miami, English spoken everywhere, and a currency pegged one-to-one with the US dollar, the Bahamas is hands-down the simplest international Caribbean getaway for any American.
Bahamian culture blends African, British, and Caribbean roots into something vivid and distinct. The yearly Junkanoo street parade explodes with color and rhythm, and catching a rake-and-scrape band on the beach at sunset is something you won't forget.
Conch prepared every way you can imagine, cracked conch, fish stew, peas and rice, johnnycake, rum punch, and just-caught lobster — Bahamian cooking is fresh, honest, and unfussy.
Warm, laid-back, and full of pride. English is spoken by everyone. Bahamians are celebrated for their genuine hospitality and an easier, more unhurried rhythm than the big mainland resort towns.
The national street celebration staged on Dec 26 and Jan 1 — all drums, whistles, and costumes. You can experience it year-round at the Junkanoo Museum and at select cultural events.
Goombay beats, rake-and-scrape (saw and accordion), gospel, and calypso — Bahamian music stands as a genre entirely its own.
Just 45 minutes from Miami, with direct service from more than 20 US cities — the easiest international flight to a tropical paradise there is.
Visibility down to 200 feet and beyond. The Bahamas's celebrated blue holes and crystal water are unrivaled anywhere on the planet.
The Exumas's legendary Pig Beach is precisely what the name promises — a slice of paradise where wild pigs paddle out to say hello.
Atlantis on Paradise Island holds the world's largest open-air marine habitat and water park. Your kids will be talking about it for months.
No visa, English everywhere, USD equals BSD (1:1), familiar credit cards, and solid mobile coverage — one of the most effortless international trips you can take.
From Nassau you can island-hop to the Exumas, Eleuthera, Andros, Bimini, and Long Island — every one completely different and breathtaking.
Three thoughtfully built tiers. One journey to remember. Every package sets off from the USA with round-trip flights, top-tier hotels, knowledgeable guides, and effortless transfers — all managed by us.
