    Default The best (and worst) of the Bahamas

    I'm going on vacation to the Bahamas for New Years but I don't know the hot things to do. What do you guys recommend? What should I avoid?

    What island are you headed to?

    If you go to Nassau, you have to eat at least once at the Poop Deck. Don't let the name scare you.

    They have 2-locations. One right by the pier/port (casual/laidback) and another one towards the west-end and it's more formal (fine dining type).

    Conch chowder (soup) and the whole fish are excellent choices.

    Hike St John. It's a protected wildlife area. Beautiful, beautiful place with a wet side and a dry side. You will never again see plants and animals like that. Oh, and the island is also home to Honeymooner's Beach, which made National Geographic's top ten list of the most beautiful beaches on the planet.

    And shop at Ballerina's for jewelry (there's pretty much one on every main island). Diamonds International (which you'll hear more about) sucks for quality and price.

    I'm a tenderfoot. Can I make it through the day or is it strictly for experienced hikers? Are there facilities like a National Park or is it wilderness?

    ^ yea, but not much else to do after that.

    How about San Juan... I can just hear those latin beats. Plus the old city and the tropical forest. And the tour of the Bacardi Rum factory is quite mind numbing..

    Oooooh the Bahamas sounds fun! I'm jealous. Have you tried googling "NYE 2007 Nassau"? I discovered Tiesto's show by doing that for Montreal.

    Oooo is GOD STUD going with you? Or is his "fruits" staying up north?

    Heh, have fun. Make sure you get directions of the major roadways near where you're at... if you're renting... I find life so much easier when you know how to get around

    I did it in a skirt and birkenstocks. Easy as pie. There's a facility as soon as you arrive on the island where you can get a guided tour pretty much daily. I think will help you reserve a hike that ends at Honeymoon Beach. Seriously not to be missed.

    Oh, and remember to get some sugar cane rum. Most rum is made from molasses, but there's one kind made in the Bahamas that's made from sugar cane. Mount Gay Rum, I think. Better flavor.

    ^^^^^that sounds sooo good. I love exploring nature but I need it in small spoonfuls. I'll probably use a whole roll of film on that.

    Mama likes but Atlantis sounds high as hell, Katrine! I'll visit and say I stayed there.

    He heeee! You read my mind Mast! We shall see if he pleasures me enough for that priviledge. I'm still getting lost in his faccia bello. Oh, buonissimo.....che bellisimo. I think PL disease is setting in. HELP!!!

    Do they have tourist area buses there or is it all cabs?

    Cabs, mostly. And by cabs I mean trucks that have been modded to have seating in the back. And don't let the way they drive scare you (well, it will anyway, but try not to).

    I found the Bahamas to be a shithole. The islanders hate Americans and the place is filthy. Thats why I love the Florida Keys, it's tropical, and you are still in America.

    Since when? I have always gotten superior treatment in the Bahamas compared to Florida and Hawaii. The natives love Americans because Americans = income.

    Exactly^^^^ I was there in 94" (I know it was a long time ago) but everyone was nice as heck. Even the police officer's in the stores with thier uzi's were nice to us!
