Travel Bahamas to discover more than 700 islands that are ready-made for exploration. Just ask Christopher Columbus, he bumped against these limestone landscapes in 1492. On your Bahamas vacation there’s sailing to Abaco on a Bahamas cruise, diving Andros' blue holes in Grand Bahama, kayaking the countless cays around Exumas, lounging on Eleuthera's beaches or the Atlantis hotel Bahamas resort and pondering pirates in Nassau. Indeed, there’s a Bahamian island to match most every water-and-sand-based compulsion. Each of them framed by a backdrop of gorgeous, mesmerizing blue.
