The story of our National Parks is the story of our Bahamian people, environment, culture and history. Since 1958, The Bahamas has been a world leader in the conservation of terrestrial and marine ecosystems, with a 2+ million acre (and counting) National Park System spanning the length and breath of the archipelago. Within these parks, precious natural resources, historical paradises, cultural experiences, spaces for recreation and so much more is represented. Under the management of The Bahamas National Trust (NGO), the Park system continues to keep Bahamian natural history alive and provide experiences that cannot truly be captured on photo or film, but this page represents our best effort at sharing these moments with you.
