Bahamas — Travel Tips
- The Bahaman dollar is pegged to the US dollar and either currency can be used
- Be sure to haggle at the markets, but always smile while you’re doing it
- Beware of ‘hackers’ (illegal taxi drivers); official taxis have yellow license plates
- Always pre-book hotels, especially during high season from December through April
- The best scuba diving is in the summer (May to September), but keep an eye on hurricanes
