PASSPORTS: A valid US passport is the required now when traveling to the Bahamas. VISA REQUIREMENTS: There is no US visa required for travel to the Bahamas for visits of less than 8 months. MONEY: US money is accepted everywhere here, dollar for dollar in the Bahamas. Credit cards are accepted in VERY few places on Andros. Bring your cash in 20's not 100's as most purchases will be small and large bills can present a problem at small stores. Keep an eye out for Bahamian dimes as they have a bonefish on them and make for great souvenirs.
ELECTRICITY: Electricity is AC, 120 volts. Standard US appliances work fine. HEALTH REQUIREMENTS: There are no immunizations required for entry into the Bahamas. For the latest information on health and immunization requirements worldwide, you may visit the Center for Disease Control web-site at www.cdc.gov. We recommend travel insurance in case of any emergency that would require imminent transportation to the US. TRAVEL INSURANCE: We strongly recommend travel insurance for your trip to the Bahamas. There is a medical clinic on the island, but additional medical access is limited. We have taken great precautions in providing a trip that is safe and rewarding. In the event that something unexpected were to happen, it would be wise to have prepared in advance by purchasing travel insurance. Evacuation insurance is available for minimal coverage, and complete travel insurance is available for providing help with lost baggage, changed flights, etc. We can provide you with the necessary insurance information.
