The Bahamas has the best beach and clearest water that I have ever seen for my world travel so far. Normally the visibility of regular seawater is 10 meters, the famous Indian Ocean country – Maldives is 40 meters and the Bahamas’s visibility of seawater is 61 meters. Bahamas is the haven for photographers. Also, pink or pure white sand beaches make Bahamas as a popular cruise destination.
1. Best Time to Visit
The best
time to visit Bahamas is during the peak season, which runs from mid-December
to the end of April. The hurricane season is from June 1 to November 30. I visited the Bahamas by the NCL cruise in
May and the weather was nice and sunny.
2. Travel Budget
The travel expense in Bahamas is high. Bahamian Dollars is about the same value as US dollars (1:1 ratio). The daily budget travelling in Bahamas should be minimum 120 USD. For backpack travers, you will need at 85 USD per day for food, hostel and other daily expenses.
