Book a place to stay. Choose the island(s) where you would like to stay and search for your preferred accommodations. Do quick research on possible attractions and activities that interest you, because the location of these activities may influence where you stay. For travelers on a budget, search for bed-and- breakfasts, as they are often charming, authentic and provide a low-cost alternative to hotels. The Bahamas also offer a wide range of high-end hotels and spas for a luxurious getaway. To minimize planning, all-inclusive resorts have activities, food, amenities and entertainment all lined-up and factored into the set price.
Pack for the Bahamas. Since you will be in the sun, be sure to pack clothing for hot weather, sunscreen, appropriate beachwear and light jackets for breezy nights.
Go to the airport and check in. Be sure to bring your passport.
Visit attractions and participate in activities that interest you. Choose from a variety of water activities, including snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking or kite-boarding.

The park features Gold Rock Beach, which is known for its clear water and its shimmering gold effect. Several parks in the Bahamas allow visitors to swim and interact with dolphins or other marine life.
