Top five (5) most exciting cultural experiences in The Bahamas

Welcome to Five (5) of the most exciting cultural experiences one can have in the stunning islands of the Bahamas

If you are a long time reader of our blogs, you know what to do here, just sit back relax and let us take you on a journey to the Caribbean (Bahamas style). 

Coming in at Number (5)- Sightseeing in Andros

If you are a traveler looking for a place pack filled with history, a diverse culture, amazing myths and legends, and adventurous activities, then the isle of Andros is the place for you. Adventure calls out everywhere you go on this island; from beneath it's crystal blue waters to above ground at all the historical sites and landmarks. Many places offer very affordable tours at reasonable rates. This is definitely the place to be on your next vacation.

Coming in at Number (4)- Diving in the blue holes, caves and caverns

Ahh yes! The amazing blue holes of the Andros island. For the more reserved types they look quite scary. But, for those adventure seekers, they will thrill you to no end. With over 50 of these amazing happenstances created by nature on the inland parts of the island, they really are a divers paradise. Definitely a must experience at least once in life. We know what we are adding to our bucket list (- jumping into a blue hole in the bahamas -tick) ...

We don't know about you, 
but seeing over 160 species of stunning coral in their natural habitat sounds like heaven to us. And what better place to do so than in the largest reef in the Caribbean, located in the Andros Island of the Bahamas. Again not for the faint of heart, nor is this is a cheap venture. But, it is definitely worth it.

Coming in at Number (3)- Sailing the crisp blue waters

Whether you are into sailing or not, there is by far no better destination in the entire world where one can enjoy year round sailing fun than the Bahamas. Navigate your way through all the Bahamian islands any time of year enjoying the scenery on the clear blue ocean highway. Now that's what we call rest and recovery.

Coming in at Number (2)- Going big game fishing

If you enjoy fishing, then we think that trying your hand at big game fishing may just tickle your fancy. In the Bahamas the waters are simply teeming with massive tuna and even swordfish. Next time you plan a Bahamian adventure this is definitely       something to put on the list of thing to do.

Coming in at Number (1)- Experiencing Junkanoo "Bahamian Carnival"

Junkanoo Carnival of the Bahamas prides itself on being an eclectic mix of fun, fancy and good old Caribbean vibes. Another thing added to our bucket list of things to experience. The Junkanoo event in the Bahamas begins a bit in October and seems to continue on to the following year. Let's be real who doesn't like to party hard in the Caribbean. And boy oh boy are they doing it up in the Bahamas. A must see, must go and must experience! And you are too late as the Junkanoo festivities are still happening and will be rounding off this May 2016. See the official Bahamas site for more fun details.
