Explore The Islands of the Bahamas

There are 700 islands in The Bahamas, covering 150,000 square miles of tropical sea and approximately 5,000 square miles of land. The islands have flat coral formations with some low rounded hills.

Each island in The Bahamas has its own character and something different to offer. Enjoy a holiday full of variety by visiting as many islands as time allows. Spend a few fun days in cosmopolitan Nassau with its duty free shops, golf, museums and restaurants. Lie back and relax on the bright white sand of Long Island's deserted beaches. Experience the dive of a lifetime in challenging wreck sites off the coast of San Salvador. Witness the spectacle of nesting flamingos and other exotic wildlife in Inagua National Park. Cruise through the Exumas' 100-mile-long string of pristine cays. The hard part is deciding which islands to visit!
