Things That You Need To Know About Island Hopping Bahamas

By Timothy Gray


Taking a trip to the Caribbean can be quite a fun experience. This is whether you are organizing a romantic trip as a couple, you are travelling for business or as a family or you are travelling solo. So as to see the best of the islands, you can plan to go island hopping Bahamas. A lot of factors come into play when you do this, so knowing a few tricks will help you have a good experience.

Go when you have adequate time. Short trips may leave you longing to see more. If possible, organize to stay for at least three days, especially if you will be traveling from far. If you like your stay there, consider extending your stay for some more days. When planning for the trip, keep in mind the number of days that you will spend in transit to your location. However, it is also okay to plan for a short stay if that is all you can afford to organize for. A few days stay is better than not visiting the place at all.

Have a ready made plan of how you are going to spend your time there and the locations that you will visit. There are so many places to go to that if you do not plan early, it is quite easy to get confused when you reach the Caribbean. A plan will also give you guidance on how much you should expect to spend, based on the activities that you have organized and the places that you plan on going to.

Think about how you are going to move from one place to another. There are a variety of transportation methods that you can use. This includes using ferries, taking flights or using private airplanes. Alternatively, you can use a mix of all these transportation methods. When you get to your destination, you can organize to use a taxi to travel around your destination for a tour.

Get your passport in order and any other documents that you will need. Depending on which country you are from, you may or you may not need to get a visa to get into the country. Call or visit the embassy of the Bahamas in your country and confirm with them the details of what travel documents you should have.

Think about converting your cash to the local currency that is accepted. In addition, it may be advisable to get small denominations, so that it will be easier for you to tip various service providers who will provide you with excellent currency. Alternatively, consider which credit cards will be most advantageous to use when you are in a foreign country.

Decide on the type of accommodation you would like. This varies, from luxury resorts to mid-sized hotels to small thatch roofed shacks. Your decision will be based on the kind of experience you are looking for and how much you can afford to spend.

The good thing about the Caribbean is that any time is travel time. You do not have to worry about enduring cold seasons. The weather is favorable throughout the year. However, if you travel during the time when most people will be traveling, be prepared to deal with crowds.
