| Enjoy the secret, wild side of the Bahamas known as the “out islands.” These are the real Bahamas, where pristine landscapes remain intact and a rich Bahamian culture thrives largely unchanged by mass tourism. The remote Exuma Cays and Brigantine Islands spill across the pristine Caribbean waters for 120 miles. With 365 palm-fringed islands to chose from, the paddling possibilities are endless. Sapphire waters, blue sky horizons, epic sunsets and sugary white sand beaches merge seamlessly, creating a tropical sea kayakers' paradise. Coral reefs abound in these pristine, warm waters, supporting a busy undersea community of exotic creatures. Slip off your kayak and snorkel the reefs. On this trip you will experience and learn about the wonderful interface where land and sea meet in a stunningly beautiful place. Time slows as the sound of your steadily dipping paddle replaces the noise and hustle of town life. This is the Bahamas most people never see. Sea kayaking provides a unique, intimate experience unlike any other. | |

| Sample Itinerary | |
| DAY 1: Meet your trip leaders in George Town, the gateway city to the Exuma and Brigantine Islands, at the Peace and Plenty Hotel. Enjoy getting to know your group and guides over a seafood dinner. After dinner you can take a stroll through town and watch the sunset over beautiful Elizabeth Harbor. DAY 2: Wake up early, enjoy coffee and a hearty breakfast at Peace and Plenty. Depart for the small village of Barre Terre, the departure point for the wild islands to the north. After a sea kayaking instruction session, depart Barre Terre for your first night’s beach camp. DAY 3: Enjoy a sunrise dip in the ocean and a hearty breakfast on the beach. Take to the sea with your kayaks and paddle north along Lee Stocking Island past Tug and Barge Rock, and cross over to Norman's Caye. Look for dolphins and conch! Camp on a beautiful long white beach--the Caribbean at it's best. You'll see conchs swimming. Leave the young ones alone. DAYS 4 THROUGH 5: Explore the reefs, shoals and mangroves of the Brigantine Islands. You’ll hop from island to island, camping on isolated, pristine white sand beaches. Explore mangrove channels, working your way through the salt water-tolerant trees to discover the rich varieties of life that exist here. Visit a myriad of shallow patch reefs and don snorkeling gear to explore these fascinating underwater realms. DAY 6: After breakfast on the beach and a short paddle along the coast, return to the quiet sea village of Barre Terre. Shuttle back to Georgetown and stay at Peace and Plenty for a final evening of exploration, shopping and dinner with your group. Go have dinner at the local hotspot. Retire to a beautiful lodge for the night. DAY 7: Enjoy one last breakfast in the cool Bahamian morning. Pack your bags and join your group in a shuttle to the airport. Share a few more stories and laughs before saying goodbye and returning to your respective homes. |
