7 Day Trip To Bahamas: Experience The Lucayan Marvel

You should spend your first day in the Caribbean nation exploring the local boutiques and cuisine. Nassau, one of the most popular cities in the Bahamas, houses an exotic nightlife that can be extremely indulging.

There is more to Nassau than its nightlife. Exploring downtown will help you absorb all there is to know about Bahamian history, culture, architecture, and cuisine. The latter is of utmost importance.

The Exumas is a district in the Bahamas that is home to over 365 cays or islands. The sapphire blue waters that surround the island possess such brilliant colors visible from space. 

Ensure you visit the notorious Norman’s Cay, former headquarters of Carlos Lehder’s drug smuggling operation. Today the island enjoys a much quieter life, providing visitors a chance to bask in its spectacular views, lagoons, white-sand beaches, and bays. Also, stop by Norman’s Cay Beach Point for street food, cocktails, and interesting stories told by locals. Norman’s Cay is majorly isolated, and a yacht trip will give you the chance to experience nature with almost no one else in sight.

First settled in 1649, the island of Eleuthera is commonly referred to as the ‘pineapple capital of the world.’ The island commenced commercial farming of pineapples in the 18th century, and the Gregory Town pineapples have a reputation for being the sweetest on the planet. The island also houses the Pineapple Fields resort located 15 minutes away from the Governor’s Harbour International Airport.

If you have had your fill of sights and adventures, it’s time to grab some of the best Bahamian delicacies. Visitors to the Caribbean Island will enjoy Freeport, home to great restaurants with diverse options.

The lure of white sands and blue sky should not cloud the need for adequate planning. Although there are no serious restrictions on travel to the islands, unvaccinated persons aged 12 and above will need to undergo a PCR test 5 days before the travel date. Visitors who intend on visiting Nassau, Free Port, or Paradise Islands will have no problem reaching their destination. 

There is a broad selection of accommodation choices, from small private guesthouses to luxury resorts. It becomes a challenge if you intend to seek out one of the Out Islands and visit. In that case, you will need a reliable means of transportation. Two common choices are by mail boat or, depending on the island, by air. 

None of these provide you the freedom to traverse the Bahamas in style as a luxury yacht. Sail through the world’s third-largest barrier reef on the Andros and spend the evening watching the sunset off the coast of Eleuthera. Boatsters has an incredible array of luxury yacht choices to help ensure that every minute of your 7-day trip to the Bahamas is a memorable experience.
