Over the centuries, our protected harbor – hidden among a tangle of islands poised between the Atlantic and Caribbean, and only a few hundred miles from the United States’ southern coast – has sheltered religious dissenters, ship wreckers, pirates, freed slaves, blockade runners, rum smugglers and runaway lovers. Times are peaceful now, but we still cherish a tradition of people making their own rules under sunny skies.Gateway to the New World
The Bahamian island of Guanahani, traditionally identified as San Salvador, was Christopher Columbus' first landfall in the New World. The original inhabitants of the island were the Lucayans, described by Columbus as a peace-loving people, beautiful and generous of heart. Though Columbus claimed the island for Spain, the lack of gold here led the Spaniards to focus on settlements elsewhere in the Caribbean.

Best ever!!!
We are French and spent 3 days in the Bahamas. We booked the Exuma Powerboat Adventure and it was just a 5 stars tour: "One of the best and relaxing day of our life". The staff was just smiling and really good all the time. We were with Rey, Sharks, with a cocktail in the transparent sea... Just perfect. If you are close to Nassau: DO IT !!!
Wonderful trip!!! Highly recommend to everyone!
This was an excellent tour overall. The tour matched the description (with the exception of the "nature hike" which did not occur due to the hot weather). The staff did an excellent job organizing the activities and the islands were beautiful. My only complaint is that I was placed on the smaller boat, which was tricky to get enter and exit; as an older person, I would have preferred to be on the larger boat which had a gangway and easier entry. Overall, I would recommend this tour, but perhaps not to people over 60 or families with small children.
