Your Exuma experience begins as you fly over the 120-mile-long chain of hundreds of small islands that comprise the Bahamas. The stunningly clear water, along with dozens of cays, islets and ivory beaches make the underwater scenery some of the best in the world.

Below the surface you will find a mecca for divers and snorkelers with schools of Technicolor fish and fantastically shaped coral in Crayola-bright colors. Spotted eagle rays, barracuda, spiny lobsters, and all manner of sponges and corals make their home here. In addition, a short boat ride away, you’ll find the island home of Exuma’s famous Swimming Pigs – a #bucketlist experience for all ages!
