Traveler advice
Customs and culture
Bahamian Culture
The Bahamian people will greet you warmly everywhere you go. The island is quite safe for tourists. Nonetheless, we advise our guests to take the same precautions as they would at home.
Ways to save
Water
Grand Bahama Island has a new reverse osmosis water treatment plant. The water is safe to drink with no after taste. Otherwise, you can purchase water at the grocery store.
Ways to save
Food
The Bahamas imports all food & provisions, so do expect to pay a bit more than you would in the USA. Do feel free to pack some favorite snacks & coffee from home.
