This is something you must do when you are in Carribean Waters.
This is one of those things you probably will do just once. It's expensive, time consuming but fun and worth the money spent.
Plus the money you spend goes towards the well being of the animals (well, depending on what institution it is, so pick the one that cares)

Located right across the street from Westin Hotel. It's a great place to get your Bahamas shopping done, get some food.
Tip: There was this stand with a big lady mixing Daquiries with fresh fruits and juice. She had a 2 for 1 deal. And omg they were SO good. I bet she put something addictive in it, because my husband and I kept going back there multiple times during the day.

Make sure you go one path to the beach and use the other on the way back because they are both very different. The one photo is of the, let's say "falling part looking walk" is rather sturdy to our joy, but made for some interesting steps. All in all this was well worth the time and made for some nice photos too.

After you have finished walking through the jungle and caves, take a walk across the street to the Gold Rock Beach walk which gives you 2 paths the choose, 1) via the creek trail or 2) the Mangrove Swamp Trail which is longer. Go in one way and walk out the other, it gives you a real feel of the ecosystems that exist there. Did I mention bring you camera and pleny of batteries. The beaches here are have perfect white sand and beautiful clear water, just perfect!

While on the island you may want to check out the Lucayan National Park. It cost $3 to go through and is worth the donation to the park. The park has plenty to keep you busy for several hours like caves, beaches, mangrove trees, birds, fish, lizards all can be found a long a really nice nature walk. Bring you camera and plenty of batteries. The caves here at the park are the largest underwater system in the world and you can dive in them only in certain spots and you need special permission.

We booked this which is a first for us, not to bad, the steak & lobster was ok, Bahama Mama's were very strong, couldn't drink them so I bought beers for 2 dollars. After dinner they ask every one to come down to the lower deck where the entertainment begins which is dancing, drinking then a linbo contest which this one dec hand was really good at. All in all it was pretty fun and lasted about 3 1/2 hours. Dinner was a nice quiet run through the inter coastal waters, then when dinner was done we went out off the coast for a little while, there was a full moon out and a nice clear night. We are not real drinkers so if you are this will be a blast. All the deckhands get people up dancing and having fun.

This was the sunset we were blessed with the night of our wedding just after we got done. Before the wedding started it looked like it was going to rain as a big black cloud rolled in from the ocean. We prayed that it would hold off at least until we were done and it cleared up in five minutes and it turned out to be a perfect sky after all. Just thought I'd share that little moment.

I got up almost every morning to catch a sunrise and it was well worth it! Time is limited to about 20 to 30 minutes of good color so have those batteries ready. Then back off to bed! I didn't say you had to stay up, just get up and catch one! :o)

Terry and I went down and got married, it was pretty stress free, easy to get your marriage lisence, we found the pastor before we left and made most of the arrangements. Very romantic having a wedding on the beach at sunset!

This neat marketplace is not open long (until 5) but it is really neat to go to in the daytime. Very culturistc and makes you feel like you are in a different country (almost like in India or Africa). The shop tenants are a little pushy to get you to come in their shops, so have an excuse ready if you don't want to shop there. If you have a question don't just go up to them and ask questions, ask them how their day is and such. They will push you very hard to buy something from them, but be stern and barginwith them. They WILL bargin. If you go in the afternoon, they are tired and sell easily. Most restaraunts are closed until 5 and are open until 2am. Definately buy shirts and stuff from the market place, they are the exact same as everywhere else and are much cheaper (by at least $5 WITHOUT bargining). Overall, this is the best place to shop, eat, and bar hop.
