However, planning a vacation is no easy task, especially if it’s your first time visiting that destination. So, we’ve come up with some tips to help you get some direction while planning your Bahamas vacation. Hopefully, by the end of this article, you’ll feel more confident and excited to plan your epic Bahamas vacation.
How to Get to the Bahamas
The Bahamas is made up of islands, so the easiest way to get there is by plane. In fact, it’s only a 35-minute flight from Miami!
If you really want to travel in style, you can charter a plane for the most epic start to your vacation. How much does a private jet to the Bahamas cost? Probably less than you think!
There are several ways to save money while taking a private jet. You can take empty leg flights, purchase a seat rather than the entire jet, or split the cost with a group of friends and family. Paying a little more for a private jet is definitely worth the benefits you get from it.
However, if you want to travel the old-fashioned way, commercial airlines are always heading to the Bahamas. You can follow their schedule and hop on one of their flights and sit in a tight seat on your way to paradise.
When to Visit
The Bahamas is one of those vacation destinations that have a tourist season and an off-season. The best time to visit is between December and April. It’s the perfect winter getaway if you’re searching for some warm weather and escape from the cold.
You may be tempted to grab the best deals during the off-season because hotels offer discounts. However, the off-season runs into hurricane season, which can be very dangerous or even cause trip cancellations. Not to mention, some restaurants and activities will be closed.
Where to Stay
You have a few options of where to stay while visiting the Bahamas. It all depends on what you’re looking for.
All-Inclusive Resort – If you don’t want to think about a thing and pay one price for everything on your vacation, an all-inclusive resort is your best move. It includes all of your meals, activities, and accommodations.
Hotel – An average hotel is also a great option if you want to explore the restaurants in the area and plan different activities on your own. You don’t have to go all out on a resort if you’re going to take your vacation into your own hands.
Airbnb – You can also rent an entire house or apartment for a fraction of the price of a hotel room while staying in the Bahamas. Airbnb offers travelers some of the most comfortable stays, fully equipped with kitchens and more.
What to Do
If you find yourself bored in the Bahamas, you’re vacationing wrong. There are so many fantastic and entertaining things to do on this tropical island.
Explore the sea by swimming with the pigs or nurse sharks and snorkel in the coral reef. You can also take day cruises to other islands for a chance to see even more of the Caribbean.
Or, stay on dry land and play golf at some of the world’s best courses, do some shopping, or simply sunbathe in the sun. There is something for everyone to do while on vacation in the Bahamas.
