Niche Tourism in the Bahamas

May 14th, 2011

For some people, a run-of-the-mill vacation just doesn’t appeal. Innate curiosity, is a genetically encoded trait that is the enemy of boredom. For such a personality type, the Bahamas has much to offer.

A yoga retreat under palm trees, anyone? With a seafront vista? The Bahamas, without a doubt, is a  seductress of the soul. The islands are peppered with other unique treasures, such as Lucayan National Park, home of the world’s largest underwater cave system. The Arawak Indians lived in the stalactite-decorated caves long before Christopher Columbus discovered the islands of the Bahamas. The nearby mangrove system of Gold Rock Beach is a picture perfect location for kayakers.

If that doesn’t float your boat, there’s more. Pony lovers can spend days riding friendly, well-trained ponies along Grand Bahama beaches and remote coastal trails. The treks are intended to give tourists a special vantage point from which to take in the breathtaking scenery that Grand Bahama is famed for.

The Rand Nature Centre, just outside Freeport, sits on 100 acres of land, making it double the size of Lucayan National Park. From here, birdwatchers can spy pelicans, hummingbirds, spoonbills, flamingos and other species of bird.

Undersea adventurers can use the services of qualified scuba divers to check out stunning coral reefs or to make contact with dolphins.
