Caribbean · 3–6 days · a family-friendly trip
Find your tripA very short hop from Miami (1h15), making it a great weekend trip from that hub specifically — but you're paying a premium for the proximity to the US, so it doesn't stretch your budget as far as some other options. Nassau tends to work best for travelers planning a family-friendly trip — it's a regular pick for families with young kids, honeymooners, and short getaway.
Day to day, expect a mix of swimming with pigs in Exuma (day trip); atlantis Paradise Island and its water park; snorkeling nearby reefs.
August–October tends to be the sweet spot — fewer crowds and average highs around 32°C (90°F). 3–6 days is the typical window here — enough to settle in without feeling rushed. U.S. citizens can enter Bahamas visa-free for a standard tourist stay — just bring a passport valid for the length of your trip.
Expect hotels in the $100–550/night range across tiers (budget/mid/premium), with activities running about $65 a day per person. Treat these as curated estimates, not live quotes — actual prices move with season and exact dates. Want the real number for your trip? Run it through AriTrips for actual flight, hotel, and activity costs together, not just a flight price.
August–October offers the best value — it's also typically the cheapest stretch. Peak season still works fine if you don't mind paying more and sharing the place with more people.

3–6 days is typical. If you've got more time, it also works well as a slower, longer trip.
