Bonefishing

Great Exuma is renowned as one of the world's best locations for bonefishing; the vast flats are the perfect habitat for the elusive "silver ghost". The Resort will organise excursions with local guides to lead anglers to the best catch.

Castaway getaway

In this romantic getaway for two, a guide picks you up at the Resort and transports you by boat to a secluded beach on an uninhabited island. There, your own tropical paradise will be set up, including a beach umbrella, two lounge chairs, beach mats and a cooler containing a gourmet picnic lunch, rum and drinks. Snorkel gear, a radio or cell phone and a 27-exposure disposable underwater camera are provided, and upon request your guide will also provide you with a fish and reef chart. The food and small gear are packed in a keepsake straw beach bag from the Exuma Straw Market. The guide will instruct you on the use of the snorkel gear, show you the best snorkelling locales and take several photos of you before leaving you to yourselves. At an agreed-upon time, the boat will return to pick you up.
