We cast off from Palm Cay Marina at 7am aboard a 54-foot sailing catamaran, making the 28 nautical mile journey from New Providence to the Northern Exumas.  

Our first destination is Leaf Cay where we meet the Bahamian Rock Iguanas. It’s one of the few places where you can still find these fearsome looking, yet gentle creatures. 

We’ll spend the night at anchor in a calm bay. 

After breakfast, we set sail for Highbourne Cay and swim with the resident Nurse and Reef Sharks.

In the afternoon, we continue onward to Norman’s Cay, former headquarters of the Medellin Cartel’s drug-smuggling operation. Just south of the cay is a sunken drug plane that was once once used by Pablo Escobar to smuggle drugs to the USA. It’s now full of marine life that we will explore until sunset.

Sail 20 nautical miles to Warderick Well’s Cay. Home to large schools of fish. Spotted Eagle Rays and other marine animals also call these shallow waters home. We will use the day to explore the coral reefs and to make some new aquatic friends.

It's common to see wild turtles, stingrays, reef sharks, nurse sharks, barracudas, and schools of colorful tropical fish.

After breakfast, explore the Exumas Land & Sea Park. Optional hike. For those daring souls, we will visit Danger Reef to swim with Caribbean Reef Sharks. 

In the afternoon, We’ll stop at Compass Cay -  this place is teeming with nurse sharks. Swim with these inquisitive creatures and feed them some fish. 

Next up is Rachel’s Bubble Bath - a natural whirlpool.

Another sailing journey of 15 nautical miles will bring us to Big Major Spot - Home to the famous swimming pigs. Bring some food for the little piggies and they’ll swim right up to the boat to say hello!

One of the Exumas hidden gems is Thunderball Grotto. James Bond filmed Thunderball here. It’s a magical aquatic paradise with thousands of tropical fish, light rays and a dream for underwater photography. We’ll swim in at low tide and watch the light bouncing off the walls.

Our final day. At first light, we will sail back to the marina. Plan to book your return flights home from Nassau after 12pm
