Bahamas tours vary in cost depending on what activity you choose, though there is something for every price range. On the less expensive end of the spectrum (around US$20), there are walking tours that take you inside the history and culture of the area. Travelers willing to spend more can book private, multi-day cruises around the islands—those tend to cost several thousands of dollars.

On the lower end of the price range, you can book tours such as the All-New Tour with Seafood Snack Português & Español for around US$7 per person. This walking tour will take you to Parliament Square and Government House, where you'll learn about Bahamian customs and history. Pricier options include VIP tours such as the Private Exuma Swimming Tour with Lunch at the Beach Bar (from US$8,500 per group of up to 15), which includes a boat pickup and transfer to Allen Cay and then Pig Beach.

With an array of Bahama tours available, you can easily find something to suit your interests and experience the beauty of the area. Get out on the water with an island-hopping boat trip, snorkeling adventure, or sailing trip. Don’t miss the iconic Bahamas experience of swimming with the Exuma pigs, and consider a foray into the local culture with a food tour.

Consider an all-day or multi-day tour to pack in as many sights and activities as possible. For example, the 6 Days 5 Nights Sailing Catamaran Experience in Exumas, Bahamas lets you and up to five other people in your group sail around to private coves where you can snorkel, scuba dive, or enjoy the beach. All your meals are provided.

The currency in the Bahamas is the Bahamian dollar—it is always set at a one-to-one equivalency with the US dollar. That said, the islands also accept US currency since the value is the same as the Bahamian dollar, though you may not receive change in US dollars.

The best time to go to the Bahamas is between December and April. You’ll avoid hurricane season by traveling then, and the weather is usually pleasant with low humidity. This is also the peak tourist season, which brings a slew of activities and events with a vibrant atmosphere.

Many consider the Exuma Cays to be one of the prettiest places in the Bahamas. This chain of islands boasts gorgeous turquoise waters, white sand beaches, and photogenic landscapes. Many come here to swim with the friendly pigs and explore the sandbar known as the “Exuma Blue Hole.”
