    I would recommend you make time for the snorkel excursion. Don't forget to take underwater photos of the colorful fish.

    Colorful Junkanoo, the most significant festival on the island, also hails from the days of slavery, when slaves were given a special holiday on the day after Christmas. The past and its traditions are very important to Grand Bahamians, as is a healthy dose of religion.

  • If you shop at any of the local markets (i.e. the straw markets), or buy merchandise from street or beach vendors, be sure to bargain with them. Never pay full price for these kinds of things in Nassau.

    One must not miss the Junkanoo celebrations.

    Brightly coloured costumes, the groups bands pounding out the beat.

    There are two parades, Boxing Day and New Years eve. They start at 1 am and go on until 11am the following morning.
