Day Tour Includes
Sunken Plane Wreck
The plane was used for drug trafficking during the 1970’s and ditched here in an effort to elude authorities. So the locals say. No one really knows for sure but what we do know is that it’s a great place to explore and snorkel in the shallows. Nurse sharks sometimes hide under the hull and it’s often times surrounded by vibrant tropical fish. If time permits, we’ll stop by so you can take a look. Depending on tides and time, this attraction isn’t always included on the tour.
Bahamian Rock Iguanas
The Exuma Island Rock Iguana (known as Cyclura cychlura figginsi) is native to eight of the islands around Staniel Cay and the Great Exuma Cays and are listed as an endangered species. They are protected by the “Wild Animals” Protection Act.
Arriving at Bitter Guana Cay, you will be welcomed by hundreds of the Rock Iguanas coming to see if you have brought them any fruit; the feeling is almost surreal, like something out of a dinosaur movie. Their coloring is beautiful
Swimming Pigs of Big Major Cay
Big Major Cay’s “Pig Beach” famous residents are clearly at home in the tropics. Although they aren’t native to the island, they are just as comfortable as any other islander basking in the sunshine and taking to the seas. Friendly and gentle, these highly intelligent creatures nuzzle right up to visitors for a sampling of whatever’s on the menu. Of course, they love the attention as well so petting is certainly appreciated by some.
Thunderball Grotto
Located next to Staniel Cay, this fantastic sight is great for snorkeling, diving, and wading around the warm waters of the Bahamas. It is teeming with exotic marine life and a kaleidoscope of brilliantly colored coral reefs and fish, including vibrant yellow-tail snappers, huge blue and gold Angelfish. Enter the grotto via a small hidden entrance that’s completely submerged during high tide.
Nurse Sharks At Compass Cay
In Compass Cay you’ll be greeted by what some say is a frenzy of fish. Not any fish but a rather large school of scurrying nurse sharks. The marina’s staff throw scraps of fish into the water making these animals very friendly. Also, it keeps them quite full so they are less likely to get curious about the humans wading around the waters with them.
Within minutes you’ll feel right at home with these beautiful creatures.
Serene Sandbar
Pure white sand emerges from blue-green waters at low tide. This little stretch of paradise is a perfect stop on your tour for shelling, sunbathing, and taking in the Bahamian breezes. Often, you and your guests will be the only ones there having it all to yourselves. The Sandbar is completely covered at high tide and our boat captains schedule your tour stops based on the tides so you can enjoy every one of the attractions.
