AN ISLAND HOPPING STORY
The story of the Bahamas isn’t the story of just one island. It’s the story of 700 islands and cays, and how they complement one another. Island hopping, as it’s known, is simply the best way of understanding that story. It’s like sight-seeing by boat.

Or that the pigs swam over from a shipwreck nearby. Wherever they came from, there are now about 20 pigs and piglets living the easy life, with daily visits from Bahamians and tourists.
