No, they are two different island chains.
The "islands which are many and very large" that Christopher Columbus encountered during his voyages were the Caribbean islands, including present-day Bahamas, Cuba, and Hispaniola.
Christopher Columbus is credited with discovering several islands in the Caribbean Sea, including the Bahamas, Cuba, and Hispaniola (present-day Dominican Republic and Haiti). He also explored the coast of Central and South America, although he never actually reached the mainland of North America.
The Arawaks are an indigenous group originally found in the Caribbean and parts of South America. Historically, they inhabited islands such as the Greater Antilles, including present-day Cuba, Jamaica, and the Bahamas, as well as coastal regions of Venezuela and the Guyanas. Today, descendants of the Arawaks can still be found in these areas, particularly in the Amazon rainforest and the Caribbean islands.
The Arawaks primarily inhabited the Greater Antilles, which includes islands such as Hispaniola (present-day Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Jamaica, and Cuba. They also settled in the Bahamas and parts of the Lesser Antilles. The Arawaks were among the first indigenous peoples encountered by European explorers in the Caribbean. Their societies were known for agriculture, fishing, and trade.
Christopher Columbus did not explore present-day states in the continental United States during his voyages. However, he traveled through the Caribbean islands, which include territories that are now part of the Bahamas, Cuba, and Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic). His expeditions mainly focused on these regions rather than the mainland of North America.
The Taino culture developed on the islands of Boriken (Puerto Rico) Kiskeya (Dominican Reb.) and Haiti, Jamaica, Cuba, Bahamas and the southern part of Florida.

Christopher Columbus? He landed in the present day Bahamas.
The Arawaks settled in various Caribbean countries, including Jamaica, Cuba, Hispaniola (present-day Haiti and Dominican Republic), Puerto Rico, and the Bahamas. They were known for their agricultural practices and peaceful way of life before the arrival of European colonizers.
for short term no but you do need a passport for short term no but you do need a passport
Present day Hispaniola is an island in the Caribbean that is divided between two countries: the Dominican Republic to the east and Haiti to the west. It is the second largest island in the Caribbean after Cuba.
A relative location of the Bahamas is the Sandy Cay Caribbean Beach. It is located right next to Utila Island. I hope you have a good day! :D
