    I began traveling to the Bahamas in the 1990's and married a Bahamian and lived in Nassau for about 3 years in the 2000;s. My favorite part of the island, besides the food of course, was the water! I would stare at the ocean for hours. It draws you because it is so clear and beautiful. Coming from the Great Lakes in Ohio US, I have traveled throughout the islands but, to me, the Bahamas has them all beat when it comes to water views. As the country grows, I hope they do not lose that, as other countries have.

    Thanks for visiting our beautiful country. I've visited over 25 countries and can truly say that, It's Better In The Bahamas. Expensive but better. Our tiny but beautiful country depends on tourism and imports almost everything and we have to absorb high shipping costs and duties, hence the high cost of living. There are other factors as well but that's another story for another day. 🎉❤😊

We do have a season for conch, April 1 to July 31(correct me if I'm wrong). We have this season because of the decline of conch, so if you ever come back please remember that!

    Great video!
    I’m Bahamian through my father and have dual citizenship. I was born in the states and lived in Nassau from ages 9 months until 6 years. I’ve been back in the states since.
    One thing I want to point out is the indigenous population of the Bahamas is the Lucayans/Taínos. They were “Black” and were already there. The minority of the inhabitants came from the slave trade. I know this from doing my genealogical research.
    Ancestral DNA tests are a farce, but familial DNA tests are usually accurate.

    I’m very surprised about the constant statement that Bahamas is super expensive. We used to travel there growing up as a bargain Caribbean destination. My family owned a hotel. Maybe things have changed. I’ve been to Atlantis. We stayed at a neighboring resort on paradise island that had a deal that you have access to the grounds of Atlantis. Trust me, it was awesome but not expensive trip. Then again we traveled in August/September back in those days. Because it’s a bit cheaper than high season.

    I am from The Caribbean region, The Dutch Caribbean, to be specific. I know all of the islands because I have traveled them since childhood, and I created an informational software about them, too.

    Exuma waters are crystal clear. The color of the water was the first indicator that you might not have been in Exuma. Second, the tours from Nassau to Exuma on a powerboat is about 2 hours and the experience cost about $350. It's worth every penny. You might have been Anthol island there are pigs there as well for persons who may not have the time or money to experience the gem of Exuma.

    Brother, you did a great job showing your experience there. I am amazed to see how much Nassau and downtown have grown since I was last there in the 90's. The Bahamas is a beautiful Island and I had a wonderful time also visiting Paradise Island and taking tons of pictures on land while my Bff and the others snorkeled. The sea water is very powerful and miraculously HEALS!! I was HEALED there. Although you had the RIGHT plate of food, hopefully, your girlfriend or wife was there with you after that food settled. LOL I went to a few restaurants but ate regularly from the woman who sold meals from her car. The Bahamian food from her was the freaking BEST and she had a variety. I gave her more of my business because she was a true hustler.
    Unfortunately, I vowed never to GO BACK due to almost being abducted right out of my hotel by a local guy who visits our hotel functions often based on the Hotel Manager. Thank GOD for the front desk clerk who signaled the manager a guest was in danger. There was another episode where my Bff and I almost died in the bathroom near the dining room of our hotel. My Bff also almost died two more times, once on the banana boat, and jet ski. There were SUPER WEIRD experiences that terrified us both into NEVER returning and we never did. ( I was there for 6 days) Also, all of the locals are NOT NICE! That part was a big LIE! You must watch the waitresses in the restaurants where some are sweet as pie and the others you do NOT want handling your food nor drinks.
    The fresh Bahamian food, amazing drinks, amazing beaches, Islands, and powerful seawater are some of the greatest experiences to have BUT the Bahamas is a very highly demonic place. Just say when it was REPORTED that the singer Aliyah died there after her video shoot "Rock The Boat", I WAS NOT SURPRISED at all. Some of the people are really amazing I must say and I really really really miss the beach, fresh food, and cool drinks, but I'm just not interested. It's been 31 years. Smh LOL
