BAHAMAS ITINERARY

Below is a itinerary for the Bahamas; suited for any age group.  Itinerary is as follows: picking up in Nassau – Paradise Island and then encompassing many of the Exumas “must see” spots then returning to Nassau – Paradise Island for drop off. 

Day 1:  Board Murphy’s Law in Nassau at the beautiful Atlantis Marina.
  You and your guests can enjoy the fun atmosphere, maybe get those last minute sunglasses you need or visit the largest indoor aquarium in the world!
(At dock).

Day 2: It’s off to the Northern Exuma's, first stop: Highborne Cay.
•  Take the tender and go explore the nearby beaches.  Great swimming and snorkeling here.  Don’t forget to play with the water toys too! Fishing is also a plus around these small islands.
•  Make sure to go ashore here at Highborne, not only is there a cute gift shop – but there are lots of Nurse Sharks that hang out around the dock.
•  Then it’s off to Allen Cays where you will meet the large population of Rock Iguanas that come out to greet you. (At dock/anchorage- Distance 38nm- 4 hrs).

Day 3:  Make sure to leave Highborne at high tide and hold your breath going through the cut; it’s a tight one! 
Now it’s on to Shroud Cay and Normans Cay.
•  Take a dingy and wave runners into the unspoiled mangrove creeks and lunch on a spectacular beach on the ocean.
•  Stop by Normans Cay to snorkel the airplane wreck, and stop by at MacDuff’s for a piña colada and a hamburger. (Anchorage- Distance 15nm-2 hrs)

 Day 4:  Cruise to Warderick Wells
•  Headquarters of the Exuma Land and Sea Park.  You’ll be amazed at the awesome display of watercolors and sand banks.  Visit the headquarters and take advantage of the walking trails and snorkeling reef.
•  Check out the Sperm Whale skeleton on the beach.  Amazing! (Anchorage-Distance 15nm-2.5 hrs).

Day 5:  Cruise to Soldier Cay.
•  Enjoy the comfort of your own private sand bar with a gazebo, chairs and lots of beach games and lots of rum punches.
•  But before you have too many rum punches, take time to snorkel one of the most beautiful coral gardens in the Bahamas. (Anchorage-Distance 18nm-2-3hrs).

Day 6:  On to Staniel Cay also encompassing Big Majors
•  Staniel is a quaint settlement sprinkled with brightly colored houses and is home to the famous Staniel Cay Yacht Club.
•  The highlight of the area is Thunderball Grotto, where snorkelers can visit the site of such movie hits as “Thunderball” and “Splash”!  Make sure you go at slack tide.
•  Anchor off Big Majors and don’t forget to go ashore and pay your respects to “Emily” and friends (the wild pigs!).
•  Take a dingy ride up through to Sampson Cay and beyond. (Dockage/Anchorage-Distance 20nm-3hrs).

Day 7:  Leaving Staniel and heading back to Nassau.
