7 Nights - Sample Itinerary
Day 1Nassau, Bahamas. Board at Atlantis Marina or Hurricane Hole Marina on Paradise Island. After lunch, visit the spectacular walk-through aquarium at Atlantis, spending the first night at Paradise Island. Or skip the aquarium and leave right after lunch for the Exuma Cays, spending the first night at Highbourne Cay.
Day 2
Highbourne Cay. Enjoy beautiful beaches, splendid walks and swimming. Visit nearby Allan’s Cay, populated by iguanas - one of the animal’s few remaining habitats in the Bahamas. Cruise to Norman’s Cay for a look at a Colombian plane wreck in the lagoon; good beachcombing.
Day 3On to Shroud Cay or Warderick Wells in Exuma National Park for the night. Explore the 18th century loyalist ruins and meet the Park Ranger. Over four miles of trails lead to rare plants, caves, wells and plantation ruins. The yacht chef will prepare a cookout on the beach.
Day 4
Sampson Cay/Staniel Cay. With its handsome stone architecture, good food, and friendly bar, the small but intimate Sampson Cay Club attracts adventurers from around the world.
Day 5For a bit more “excitement,” stay at nearby Staniel Cay, the “hub” of the Exumas, where the Staniel Cay Yacht Club is the center of social life. About 200 people live on Staniel Cay. Visit the famous and interesting “Thunderball Cave” at Staniel Cay, where the James Bond movie THUNDERBALL was filmed.
