The commonwealth of Bahamas is made up of 3,000 islands, islets and cays. Bahamas, famous for Christopher Columbus' first landing in the "new world" in 1492, is more than a historical landmark. It's now known for its beautiful scenery, powdery soft beaches and a few luxurious resorts such as The Atlantis Cove and The Reef Atlantis located on neighbouring Paradise Island.

This collection of islands sits on the calm Caribbean waters, just south of Florida and right above Cuba. On the island of New Providence sits Bahamas' capital: Nassau. Here you'll find no shortage of things to do.  The clear and calm waters are perfect for diving and exploring the island's breathtakingly, intricate reef system.  Sailing is very popular here and while you're at it try your hand at deep sea fishing as many size records have been broken right there off Bahaman shores.
