If you are planning a trip to the Bahamas and wondering what to do in the Bahamas this post will reveal the top 10 most popular activities of what to do in the Bahamas.
The Bahamas are one of the top destinations in the Caribbean, although technically not exactly in the Caribbean. The Bahamas are an archipelago of over 600 small islands, with only a handful of the largest containing year-round residents.
Some of the reasons for the popularity is the proximity to the U.S., only about an hour by boat and half-hour by plane. When you consider some Caribbean destinations like Aruba or Barbados with 3 hours+ air time from Miami, the time and cost savings makes the Bahamas very appealing.
Another advantage is that the Bahamas are north of hurricane alley which runs through the central part of the Caribbean. Also, English is the spoken language, so no language barriers to deal with, at least if English is what you speak.
Nassau is the capitol and where most major resorts are located, but Grand Bahama island is the largest island. Here is a
ranking of the all inclusive resorts in the Bahamas as well as the
