Enjoy a true castaway experience amid the clear waters of the Bahamas — with wreck dives, coral reefs and striking signature sandbars.
From Norman’s Cay, a fishing highlight where mahi and yellowfin tuna thrive in abundance, to Bitter Guana Cay, home to a protected population of rock iguanas, the 40-acre Exumas Land & Sea Park is a non-negotiable visit when sailing The Bahamas. Follow James Bond’s lead by diving Thunderball Grotto. Hop across Conch Cut to swim with nurse sharks in Compass Cay. At Norman’s Cay, the underwater wreck of an old DC-3 airplane and outrageously good curry conch chowder await.
Dock at the Atlantis Marina and enjoy curated experiences at Atlantis Paradise Island, from Turtle Releases and VIP Dolphin Cay tours to dinners on the beach and much more. Elevate the already exceptional with a private picnic on Pipe Creek Sandbar, a long stretch of white sand with nothing else around. When night draws in, sundowners at Xuma Beach Bar at Highbourne Cay are hard to beat. Adventure seekers should take a dip in Rachel’s Bubble Bath, a natural froth-filled lava rock lagoon, or try your luck in the zipping currents at Shroud Cay’s ‘washing machine’.
There is a sandbar that appears at low tide at Little Pipe Cay, making it into your own private island. Grab a cooler and pull the tender right up to the sandbar as you enjoy the clear sapphire waters. The Chat ‘N’ Chill is a cool bar on Stocking Island where you can feed sting rays, and for a wonderful beach and coral reefs, don’t miss Conception Island in the Out Islands.
The Exuma Islands form a string of pearls that include a variety of natural harbours and secluded beaches that span over a hundred miles of clear blue water.
For breakfast pull into the secluded Allan's Cay Group where you may catch a glimpse of the Bahamian Dragon, a critically endangered species of iguana. Spend the evening anchored off the western shore of Highborne Cay.
The Abacos islands are rich with the visual and cultural flavor of former British colonial life and are one of the world's top boating and sailing destinations.
One of the more striking aspect of the Abacos is the crystal-clear appearance of the turquoise water accompanied by pure white powder sand beaches - mostly uncrowded too. Escape the real world, far away from the civilization, and visit this unique island where tradition and heritage will make you feel overwhelmed by the magnificent architecture.
