Personally I like this idea & if I didn't already live here, I would book this. I also really like the fact that they are catering for a variety of travellers and are offering wide variety of over 35 tours & attractions that you can participate in. From Shark Diving with UNEXSO to Airboat tours by Bahamas Eco Ventures. Lets hope this works out well & recieves a positive response from businesses on the island and vactioneers alike.
