Short Story Telling of Tellabration, Bahamas Through The Ages
Overview
Available languages
45 minutes
Mobile ticket
Bahamian people are known to concoct a great story, owning an inherent talent for embellishment, comedy, and irony. Immerse yourselves in the culture as an authentic sing-song lilt drives your imagination with a splash of words and ways you will only find in The Bahamas. The island's classic fables will be sure to delight you. The bonus and the beauty is that these stories are something you can experience, and then share.
If you take every local tour or attraction you will still find that you lack what’s at the heart of the Bahamas’ culture, and you will only garner snippets of this and that. You won't know our ways, secrets, the island’s off-beaten truths, kapunkled-up words, and our juicy stories.
From our Tellabration's treasure vault, our guests will select the story and sit for this mesmeric selection of what we call 'true, true, Bahamian.'

Horrible experience

1.00Had a horrible experience, we followed the proprietor’s instructions as to where exactly to find them. We found the entrance to their building but the lady at the desk said there is no such co. at this address. There was no phone number on the ticket voucher and we searched for 30 minutes and just could not find the correct entry to their site. We had no choice but to give up, and we lost the money we paid. All for nothing! A total waste of our time & money!
Nice!

5.00As a local I often take delight in staycations in the Bahamas. I always look for unique experiences that highlight my country and give me an experience like none other. Well, I must say that I got more than I was looking for when I did this very intimate tour. Not only was the setting warm and inviting, but the host made you feel like you belonged. I loved learning more about my country from the unique perspectives presented. Also if you have a passion for reading, and appreciate original autographed books from their authors, you found the right place. It was such a joy to find a store that carried all Bahamian authors! I will definitely be back!

5.00Telebration! What an amazing time of story telling! I love the memorizing lilt of the reader's voice as she spun the exciting Bahamian folklore tales. At first I thought it was going to be a long boring story but this experience had my family at the edge of their seats, feeling both scared and captivated at the same time, begging for more. I have learnt so much from this educational experience and will hopefully upload it to my story line on social media for others to see🤫 and appreciate.
Enjoyed it‼️
