When is the best time to go on holiday in the Bahamas?
The Bahamas experiences warm weather all year round, but the best time to visit the island is between mid-December and mid-April. Most people visit the island in November and December. If you prefer seclusion, you might like to book outside these months. August, September and October are typically the quietest months due to possible hurricane activity.
Going on holiday in the Bahamas
The Bahamas are home to several international airports, but you are most likely to land at Nassau (NAS) as this is the most popular entry point of the island. There are direct flights available from London to Nassau several times a week, and flights take about nine hours. Since the Bahamas is several hours behind the UK, you can leave in the morning and arrive in the afternoon. When you arrive on the island, you can take local flights to your final destination. Another option is to take a boat. These boats are fitted with air conditioning, so your journey will be extremely comfortable.
Enjoy your holiday in the Bahamas
For most people, seven days would be enough time to spend in the Bahamas. However, if you plan on hopping between several islands, you should consider staying for about fourteen days. The place is great for kids, especially those who enjoy swimming and other water activities. You can even travel with your pet, as long as you get the required permits from the authorities in the Bahamas.
The Voyage Prive travel expert’s opinion on the Bahamas
The Bahamas attract millions of visitors every year. The islands are recommended for those who love breathtaking beaches and a tranquil environment. If you enjoy water activities, you will find the place ideal for a holiday. Since the islands are child-friendly, you can visit with your entire family.
Enjoy white sandy beaches or sailing on the ocean waves
With its white sandy beaches, deep blue sea and the world's most agreeable weather, the Bahamas is a dream destination for most. Everyone should visit the Bahamas at least once in their lifetime to experience the sheer tranquility and beauty of the place. But there is so much more to this tropical island paradise than sun, sea and sand.
The choice of activities here is second to none, with everything from diving in the clear blue ocean waters off Nassau to exploring the national parks of Leon Levy Plantation and Peterson Cay. When that’s done you can enjoy some of the world's finest seafood in one of the many local restaurants located on the shores of Grand Bahama or spend the day shopping in one of the many luxury boutiques on the islands.
Sit back and relax in the Bahamas
If you’re looking for a relaxing holiday away from the hustle and bustle of daily life there can be no better place than the Bahamas. With stunning uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean, along with year-round sunshine, offset by a cool sea breeze, the Bahamas were designed for tranquility.
You could spend the day sailing in Nassau Harbor or exploring the Leon Levy Native Plant preserve which contains many exotic and endangered species which are native to the islands. Then spend the evening watching the sun sink beneath the waves of the Atlantic Ocean while enjoying a meal of locally caught seafood on the shores of New Providence Island.
Looking for a little adventure?
But you don’t have to spend all your time here relaxing, there is plenty for the more energetic traveller to do. You could try your hand at sports fishing, where you can try to land your first swordfish. The local fisherman offer charters for up to eight people and are familiar with local waters so you’re sure to catch something.
Or you could join the fish in the sea and experience some of the most spectacular reef diving anywhere in the world. The waters here are crystal clear and offer excellent diving conditions for both experienced and novice divers alike. Shark Buoy is famous for its Silky Shark spotting, or you can live out your childhood fantasies and explore the James Bond Wrecks of New Providence Island.
