Here are some information you should consider while planning your trip

Distances

While some of the islands can be reached by boat from Nassau, you will need a plane ride to reach most of them. Plan for travel days between each island.

Money

Most of the places do take credit cards and I only ended up using cash for the taxi and a Covid rapid test, but it was still useful to have some on hand. You can use the US dollar and the Bahamian dollar interchangeably as they are worth the same. Please note that everything is a lot more expensive than in the US or Canada. A fastfood lunch will cost you at least 20-25$ and a drink at the bar will start at 15$ before taxes

side of the road

Just a heads up: in the Bahamas, they drive on the left side of the road, just like in the UK. Make sure you look the right way before crossing the road

While you are there, why not explore for a little while? After all, the beaches are gorgeous, there are multiple resorts and hotels that will please even the harshest critic, and there are unlimited food options.

MY EXPERIENCE SAILING THE BAHAMAS WITH LIBERTY FLEET

In October 2021, I decided that I couldn't spend one more full winter in Quebec City and had to take a vacation somewhere warm. At the time, Covid was under control in Canada and everything was starting to open up with promises of Christmas parties on the horizon. I wanted to go to a country I had never visited before, but at the same time, I wanted to feel safe and to make sure I would be able to find decent accommodation to quarantine if I did end up catching Covid on vacation. So I decided to visit the Bahamas in January of 2022!
