TWO Grand Bahama parks and the Leon Levy Native Plant Preserve in Eleuthera have been awarded TripAdvisor Excellence awards. The awards, which recognise hospitality excellence worldwide, are given only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews on TripAdvisor.

All three sites are part of the system of 27 national parks managed and cared for by the Bahamas National Trust (BNT).

Lucayan National Park (LNP) and Peterson Cay National Park in Grand Bahama, were both awarded a Certificate of Excellence. LNP is the most visited national park in the BNT system and encompasses one of the longest underwater cave systems in the world, with over six miles of caverns and tunnels already charted and is a sought out park by experienced divers.

LNP also exhibits every vegetative zone found in The Bahamas and has a wooden bridge connecting it to one of Grand Bahama’s most beautiful beaches. Peterson Cay National Park, located offshore from Barbary Beach on Grand Bahama’s leeward shore, is the smallest national park in the system. It is an important seabird nesting area, as well as a popular recreation area for beachgoers and tour operators.
