Cruise Tips: Exploring The Bahamas
If you're into four-wheeled, take a drive on the wild side with
Bahamas Jeep Adventure on Grand Bahama. If water is more your
element — but you don't feel like getting wet — try the Glass Bottom
Boat excursion (Nassau). Another great way to enjoy the water from
afar is above it, with a Parasailing excursion. If you just can't
resist the water, get all up in it — and meet some cute aquatic
mammals — with a Dolphin Close Encounter in Grand Bahama. H2O
devotees with a weakness for waterslides will find Nassau's Atlantis
Aquaventure just the ticket.
Looking for fun things to do in The Bahamas? We have a few ideas...
Why not check out Lucayan National Park, near Freeport, for a chance
to see a variety of native wildlife, and the world's longest
underwater cave. For a taste of the islands — both Bahamian and
Greek — try Cafe Skans, Nassau. Or if you're feeling like a fish
fry, try Nassau's Seafood Haven. In Nassau around New Year's? Go
experience the Junkanoo Festival. (And if you missed it, check out
the best of the last festival at the Junkanoo Expo.) For something
completely different, Freeport's Cappuccino's Italian Restaurant is
the place for some Mediterranean-style cibo e rilassamento. (Food
and relaxation!)
