Nassau – Hotel Atlantis & Paradise Island (Bahamas)

Whether on Instagram, on Facebook or various travel sites – the pictures of the swimming pigs in the Bahamas are already unbelievably great and it was always a great wish for us to see them live.

After the islands of New Providence and Great Exuma, we wanted to visit another island on our Bahamas trip to dive a little more into the “Real Bahamas”. New Providence is already very touristy due to the many cruise ships and the Hotel Atlantis and from Great Exuma we could not see so much, because all rental cars were fully booked.

After a short stopover in Nassau we went further south today – to the archipelago of the Exumas.

That’s why we put together a nice combination with Exuma and Long Island, which we will report to you in the following articles 🙂
