This is a terrific trip for paddlers of all skill levels who enjoy sleeping at the water's edge on a warm sandy beach at the end of a day. This is a camping expedition and some of the warmest waters the world has to offer. We'll be experiencing the environment first-hand as we traverse this island archipelago.  

This is certainly not a survival experience, you'll be pampered with great Bahamian style meals and be able to move at your own pace. You will however be able to gain a sense of that proverbial desert island as you experience standing on a sandy shore looking out across the deep blue sea.

This is the Exuma experience and we're sure you'll enjoy your time here. Join us for this Carribbean odyssey and get that winter tan you've always longed for. For the most part the accommodations will be on the beach but we do plan to spend a night at either end of the trip in one of the local Inns so you'll have a chance to mingle with the friendly natives and enjoy a hot shower.

Itinerary

Although we do our best to be as accurate as possible with the itinerary, please be aware that the itinerary is subject to change based on a number of factors such as the weather, group’s desires, and skill level. Our number one goal is to provide you with a safe and enjoyable experience during your stay with us in the south. Thank you for your understanding and willingness to be flexible.


Day 1
Once you arrive at the Georgetown airport, you’ll need to grab a taxi to our accommodations for the night, located in Georgetown and approximately 20-minutes from the airport. For those of you who arrive during the day, you’ll have time to wander around Georgetown and its little shops or take a ferry over to Stockton Island, a barrier island located on the west side of Great Exuma offering many walking trails and beautiful views.  There are several options for dinner within walking distance of Ms. Marshalls and once we know everyone’s itinerary we can set up a time for all of us to meet and eat together as a group.

Day 2-6
After breakfast, we will be transported 45 minutes by bus to the Barre Terre the northern tip of Great Exuma and our launching spot for our trip. We’ll spend five days exploring the numerous remote cays surrounding the northern end of the Exumas.  Each day we’ll pack a picnic lunch, take along the snorkeling gear, and set off to uncover new treasures and sights.  We’ll plan to paddle about 4-6 hours a day but of course we’ll be flexible to the desires of the group. So if you want to relax under a palm tree on the white sandy beaches, snorkel along the reefs and coves, or leisurely paddle through the mangroves, we’ll make it happen.  We’ll camp on pristine white beaches each night, watching the sunset over the water, enjoying hearty gourmet meals, and gazing at the star-filled night sky.

Day 7 

After a hearty breakfast, we’ll pack up, paddle in to Barre Terre and catch a ride to Georgetown for our final night stay at one of the local Inns.  You’ll have some time in the afternoon to do a little sight-seeing on your own, visit the handful of shops, or take the ferry to nearby Stocking Island, known for its crystal clear waters, white sands and blue holes.  Stocking Island is a long thin island about 1 mile across the harbor from Georgetown.  It is accessible by ferry service from Georgetown and is worth the visit.  We will be happy to go over all the options you have so don’t worry. At the end of the day, we’ll indulge in some delicious Bahamian fare at a nearby restaurant, tell tales of the week’s adventures, and say our goodbyes. (B, L)

Day 8
Depart for home.
