If you were to conjure up the ideal luxury holiday, you’d probably end up in the Bahamas. With a<br />

welcome as warm as the weather, this island paradise has some great adventures in store for you.<br />

Swim with Pigs<br />

You heard it right: a trip to the Bahamas wouldn’t be<br />

complete without a splash around with some of the<br />

friendly local inhabitants. Hop on a boat tour of The<br />

Exumas island chain and get ready to come face to face<br />

with a swimming piggy!<br />

Originally introduced to the islands to keep the population<br />

fed, the clever pigs found out that they would be fed first<br />

if they swam out to meet the farmers when they arrived<br />

with their supper. Since then, it’s<br />

become a rite of passage<br />

to have a swim with<br />

the plucky porcine<br />

islanders.<br />

John Watling’s Distillery<br />

In the Caribbean, rum isn’t just important – it’s part of the<br />

very fabric of life. Its history is indelibly linked with the<br />

people of the Bahamas and the best way to honour them<br />

is by visiting one of the island’s premier distilleries.<br />

Set in a grand colonial-era house in<br />

Nassau, rum has been produced<br />

on site since 1789. Famous<br />

for their molasses-coloured<br />

Paradise Rum and the<br />

delicious cocktails it<br />

makes, taking a tour will<br />

bring the whole process<br />

to life. It’s the perfect<br />

place to visit and pick up a<br />

bottle.<br />
