Attractions:
The Bahamas are the quintessence of 'holiday heaven', with
things to see and do reaching far beyond sunbathing on the miles of
white sandy beaches, or idly frolicking in the translucent
turquoise waters. The islands offer a number of activities and attractions, with
everything from Loyalist settlement ruins and the Glass Window
Bridge to Christopher Columbus' first stop in the New World. The
Bahamas also have the largest underwater cave system known today,

off Bimini, said to be part of the 'lost city' of Atlantis, while

casinos, restaurants, bars and clubs. Offshore, you can enjoy

fishing, parasailing and scuba diving. Pinetree Stables takes
people on a 2-hour Bahamian horseback ride from Freeport on the top

castle, and eventually over the dunes and onto the beach where more
experienced riders can canter through the lapping water at the edge
of the sea. No horse-riding experience is necessary, but the
minimum age allowed is eight-years-old. This fantastic activity is
