Artists will gather for an intimate session on Friday night for a lively artist lecture. Book this package to sample the best in Bahamian art while enjoying a real Bahamian experience in the Out Islands.
A 5-minute water taxi separates Harbour Island and Eleuthera, which makes this neighboring pair the perfect complement for a Three-Day Bahamas Triple Play vacation package.

At Sacred Space, an art installation of grandmothers carved from the trunks of Casuarina trees serves as hallowed ground for a libation that will summon blessings for your weekend journey. (Approx.
