From exploring the historic streets of the capital to discovering beautiful beaches, colourful coral reefs and incredible marine life, the islands offer plenty of inspiration for a Bond-themed escape.
Whether you dream of snorkelling in crystal-clear waters, diving among vibrant reefs, island-hopping through the Caribbean or simply relaxing in tropical surroundings, you can follow in the footsteps of 007 while discovering the Bahamas for yourself.

Underwater Adventures – Dive into the World of Thunderball 🌊🐠
Few James Bond films capture the excitement of underwater adventure quite like Thunderball (1965). With Sean Connery returning as 007, the film features spectacular underwater sequences set against the crystal-clear waters of the Bahamas, where colourful marine life and hidden underwater worlds provide the perfect backdrop for espionage and intrigue.
Inspired by the film, the Bahamas offers wonderful opportunities to explore beneath the waves. Discover vibrant coral reefs, snorkel alongside tropical fish or venture further underwater on a scuba-diving experience. One particularly memorable attraction is Thunderball Grotto near Staniel Cay in the Exuma Islands — a spectacular marine cave popular with snorkellers and divers. Despite sharing its name with the film, it is not a confirmed filming location for Thunderball.
Whether you’re a confident diver or prefer to snorkel in shallow turquoise waters, there are plenty of ways to add an underwater adventure to your Bahamas getaway.
