help Bahamas FAQ

Which part of the Bahamas is best for a first trip?

Nassau on New Providence is the easiest first stop because it has the main international airport, large resorts, and quick access to Paradise Island. The Exumas are better if the goal is quieter blue-water scenery and boat trips.

Do US travelers need a passport for the Bahamas?

Yes, US citizens generally need a valid passport to enter the Bahamas and return to the United States by air. The Bahamas is an independent country, not a US territory.

When is hurricane season in the Bahamas?

Atlantic hurricane season runs from June through November, and the Bahamas sits inside that risk zone. Travel is still common in those months, but trip insurance and flexible plans matter more than in the winter season.

Is Bahamian currency different from US dollars?

The Bahamian dollar is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. US dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas such as Nassau, Paradise Island, and many resort zones.
