Anyone know of, or have experience with, renting a plane and

I'm planning on being there in July and would like to do some
sightseeing & flying (I'm PPL/IA). Would rather do typical
"FBO-style" instruction/checkout, but if there are none like that,
would do air tour hoping to at least get right seat view.

All the other answers set aside, nobody mentioned a rather obvious
problem:
Apparently you don't have a pilot license of the Commonwealth of the
Bahamas. Do you know for certain that your license from whatever country
(your didn't say) will be accepted by Bahaman authorities and in turn by
the
FBO?

I know for certain that you cannot operate an airplane with US registry in
the US unless you have a US pilot certificate (FAR 61.3(a)(1)) and I
assume
that other countries will have similar regulations.
