Bahamas
Spend a day in The Exumas with the world-famous swimming pigs. Then snorkel through an underwater cave, find a secret sandbar, and spot stingrays and starfish through crystal-clear waters.
The Abacos are privileged. Located along major migration routes, these waters make for some of the best fishing in the world. Just 30 minutes out to the Sea of Abaco, the seabed drops a whopping 5,000 feet, placing anglers in close proximity to sailfish, marlin, and wahoo.
Andros – the largest island in The Bahamas. An island so vast and green, locals call it the Big Yard. There are pine trees and palms as far as the eye can see, and blue holes—magical vertical voids formed by water and limestone and thousands of years. There are more than 150 of them here, tucked inland and along the shore. They’re geological wonders, otherworldly to say the least, and there’s one that’s just right for an epic afternoon.
Minutes away from Downtown Nassau, families flock to the Ardastra Gardens, Zoo and Conservation Centre. The main attraction - up-close encounters and a synchronised performance by The Bahamas’ national bird. And while these brilliant pink beauties certainly steal the show, there is much to discover beyond their stage.
A place where Ernest Hemingway’s favourite seaside hideaway meets the Lost City of Atlantis, and pristine beaches lead to waters teeming with prized blue marlin. 50 miles from Florida’s eastern coast, Bimini exists in a world of its own. The island is most famous for exhilarating shark dives.
