The beautiful tropical surroundings of Grand Bahamas Island offer amazing experiences that you will remember forever, from encounters with wonderful wildlife to exciting explorations in the island's volcanic cave system. On Grand Bahamas, the Grand Life is all around.
Biking is a very popular activity on Grand Bahamas Island; visitors can follow historic trails and discover ancient settlements. There's opportunity to take a leisurely tour through spectacular landscapes. Visit the fascinating Owl's Hole, an amazing inland ocean cavern named after the owls nesting there. The island's cycling routes will take you on magical journeys from sandy beaches to rocky shorelines and shady forests. For novice and avid cyclists alike this is a fantastic journey on this flat island. Remember, Grand Bahamas Island has virtually no hills so the biking trip can be a very easy ride.
With all the magnificent beaches along Grand Bahamas Island many travelers enjoy the fantasy of horseback riding on the beach. Beach horseback can bring romance, adventure, and stunning views as travelers gallop and trot along the sparkling shoreline.
Bird watching on Grand Bahamas Island is spectacular, as this island has the second-highest number of native bird species of all the 700 islands and cays of the Bahamas. The Rand Nature Centre is the perfect place for birders to start. It is home to West Indian flamingos, Antillean peewee birds, red-legged thrushes, stripe-headed tanagers and the endangered Bahamas parrot. A popular spot to bird watch is also at Garden of the Groves which is considered Grand Bahamas a premier nature experience. This wonderful destination offers visitors the opportunity to explore winding trails through lush vegetation, cascading waterfalls and sparkling fountains. All of this entices native birds to the amazing sanctuary. At Garden of the Groves there's also a picturesque chapel which has been consecrated and is a favorite place for weddings, mediation and prayer.
Grand Bahamas Island has 3 amazing National Parks to be explored; Lucayan National Park, the Rand Nature Center and Peterson Cay National Park. In the Lucayan National Park you'll find the island's six ecosystems in one location, not to mention one of the worlds longest underwater cave systems. This wonderland was discovered quite by accident; travelers are now allowed to explore these caves by walking down a flight of stairs into the cave and see this underwater wonderland.
Junkanoo is a street parade with music, which occurs in many towns across The Bahamas every Boxing Day (December 26), New Year's Day and, more recently, in the summer on the island of Grand Bahamas. There are many legends on where the concept of Junkanoo came from but for many visitors it's simply an excuse to party in the Bahamas.
If you ask local folks how the how The Bahamas Junkanoo tradition got started and they'll all tell you a different story; with many believing it was established by John Canoe, a legendary West African Prince, who outwitted the English and became a local hero; and others suspecting it comes from the French ‘gens inconnus,' which translates as 'unknown' or 'masked people'. Any way you look at the Junkanoo, it's a wonderful local tradition celebrated by the Bahamian people who celebrate their local culture and share their local traditions with all visitors.
