Your Weekly Wander this week takes you to Exuma, Bahamas! The Bahamas is surviving and THRIVING! Dorian did a number on 3 of the Bahamas Northern Islands, but the Mid to Southern Islands were virtually untouched by the far reaching winds of Dorian.
You can take a million pictures of this water and it will never do it justice!
Exuma is known for several things … swimming pigs (what?!), the famed Greg Norman Golf course, Web.com golf tournament and amazingly breath-taking crystal blue water. Exuma is one of the larger out-lying islands of the Bahamas and scarcely populated, you will not see much else going on outside of tourism and fishing - which makes this the perfect destination to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. Take a catamaran and visit all the tiny islands near by that are completely desolate and some islands that are owned by celebrities, don’t worry we can set this up for you! There are some inhabitants on this island you might want to meet…
Here’s looking at you kid!
Swimming with the Pigs is so popular here and for good reason, how cute are they! They do get right in the water and swim with you and the stingrays. The pigs are well taken care of by a local watersports company that feeds them everyday, takes watch over the babies and moves them to safety in the event of a hurricane. The pigs are a highlight for sure!
Whether you are looking for a family getaway or couples only retreat we have the perfect resorts for you to enjoy Exuma and all it has to offer. Sandals Emerald Bay is located on the Greg Norman Golf Course and on the most beautiful stretch of beach on the Island. This resort is a quiet escape for that special anniversary, honeymoon, vow renewal or destination wedding. My favorite part of this resort is the Beach Front Walkout rooms that actually allow you to walk right out onto the beach - which is hard to find at most resorts.
We have an idea for another way to see the island as well! We offer Chartered Crewed Catamaran vacations, after all seeing this island from the water is really the best way to appreciate the pure beauty. How does a few days on your private catamaran sound to you? That’s right your own private captain, your private chef and room steward to take care of you and prepare all of your meals. You can customize which islands you would like to see, where you want to dock to check out the local culture and eateries - but you can also dine on board in those more secluded locations! Also onboard you will find fishing gear, paddle boards and kayaks, fabulous for those looking for an exclusive experience! This is an all-inclusive vacation and fabulous for that special group of friends!
Dream Vacation on your own Private Crewed Catamaran.
