Water Sports

The Exumas are one of the prettiest settings for snorkeling in the entire Bahamas. You can see corals and sea fans scattered across the ocean's white-sand bottom, and turtles, grouper, lobsters and tropical fish huddled within the reefs. There's also the excitement of swimming with pigs, boating excursions and glass-bottom boat rides, kayaking or sailing.
