About New Providence

New Providence is the most populous island in the Bahamas, 180 miles to the east of Miami, Florida in the USA. This 21 mile-long island offers high-energy experiences in beautiful surroundings, with a wide range of thrilling activities like 50-foot waterslides and stunning beaches hosting late-night parties. This is apparent none more so than in the capital city, Nassau, with its vibrant downtown and bargaining market sellers. However, New Providence is not without its fascinating cultural heritage. Centuries-old ruins can be found in the capital alongside brilliant museums giving detailed insights into the island’s dealings with pirates, providing fun for all the family. Given its central location in the Bahamas, New Providence is a good departure point for many popular destinations in the archipelago, with numerous routes departing Nassau on the north east coast.

About Abaco Islands

The Abaco Islands consist of Great Abaco, Little Abaco and a handful of smaller cays, stretching two hundred miles long in the northern Bahamas. For centuries, the Abacos have been known for their shipbuilding industries, and are now considered one of the world’s finest boating destinations. With countless cays, bays and islets, these beautiful limestone islands offer unbelievable sailing routes, with calm waters sheltered by the third largest barrier reef on earth. Marsh Harbour on Great Abaco is the main settlement, known for its animated downtown, while Elbow Cay and Green Turtle Cay showcase stunningly preserved British colonial architecture alongside colourful Bahamian buildings. True to its name, Treasure Cay boasts bountiful golden beaches; one of which is frequently ranked in the world’s top ten by travel guides. There are a couple of weekly ferry routes interconnecting the nation’s capital, Nassau, on the island of New Providence, and Sandy Point on Little Abaco.
