The island nation of the Bahamas is a lush, tropical destination located in the Atlantic Ocean to the north of Cuba. English is the official language of the Bahamas, and the island was the site of Columbus's first landfall in 1492. In addition to the tropical climate of the Bahamas, the island's history and the natural beauty of the island draws thousands of tourists each year. Typically, the Bahamas sees its busiest time of year from December through the middle of April, so sometimes discounts can be found when traveling during the in-between months. November is, however, hurricane season in the area of the Bahamas, so weather reports should be watched closely during this time.
