Travel Itinerary in the Exumas
Day 1
Nassau to Highbourne Cay
We pick you up at Nassau and once ready, we will leave for Highbourne Cay. Ideally it would be nice to start the trip at 8:00 AM. We will travel for about 40 miles to get to Highbourne Cay (it will take us around 4 hours of navigation). Upon arrival to Highbourne Cay, you can choose to stay at the marina for the night (extra fees for the marina: https://highbournecaybahamas.com/marina/ ) or we will find a place to spend the night at anchor. We have a dinghy which you can use, that gives you access to the island if we spend the night at anchor. You can explore the hiking trails or do some snorkeling in the area. There are also some beautiful beaches to visit nearby.

Day 2 & 3
Highbourne Cay to Staniel Cay:
On the second day we will go to Staniel Cay, which is the farthest location of our trip. We have 50 miles to travel, and this will take us about 5 and a half hours of boating. As one of the most popular places of our trip, we intend to spend 2 days at this location. You will get to see, among others things, the famous swimming pigs. Several other activities are offered depending of your preferences. There are the Thundeball Cave and the whirlpool ”Rachel’s Bath”.
