Great Exuma & Cays Bahamas Specialist

Breath Taking Exuma & Cays, Bahamas
Breath Taking Exuma & Cays, Bahamas

Visiting the Exumas is a phenomenal experience and a must do while visiting the Bahamas.  Beautiful, Stunning, Magnificent are just a few works to explain the Exumas, Bahamas. 


700 islands and over 2,000 cays (pronounced keys) make up the Bahamas with only 31 of them being inhabited my humans.  This leaves much of the Bahamas untouched with pristine beaches and preserved nature.


The Exumas make up 365 of these islands and cays.  With eye popping, gorgeous sapphire waters and blinding, soft white sand, this experience will take up residence in your soul and leave you humbled.


Where else in the world are you able to swim with pigs but in Big Major Cay.  This is one of the top attractions in the Examas.  Over 6 million visitors flock to the Bahamas to add this unique experience to their photo books.  Tour guides will hand out treats and you can witness these cute little (and big) piggies swim out to great you.


Bring your mask and fins.  Checking out the world below, snorkeling these wonderfully crystal-clear waters is something you won’t want to pass up.  Star fish are abundant and the brightly colored fish dance around in harmony.  If you are on a tour, snorkel gear is provided.


If you are on a tour that includes sustenance, a stop off for lunch and more exploration at Half Moon Cay is a welcome treat.  Walking up the tiny island from the dock, you will arrive a a small wooden shack with a full bar and buffet.  Grab a plate and a rum punch and make your way down to the cay.  Relax on the beach or swim around in the different shades of blue that surrounds you.


Hold on to your boat seat because there is more…. The Exuma sand bars peek out of the spectacular Bahamian waters at low tide.  Try and find a sand dollar to commemorate this Exumas memory maker of your Bahamas vacation.


I have never travel to a destination and been unable to choose a favorite.  All of these experiences are so unique that picking a favorite would be like someone asking you who is your favorite child.  It can’t be done.


Booking your stay on the Exumas needs to be done super early as there are not as many resorts in the Exumas as Nassau.  Good to know though; you don’t have to stay in the Exumas to visit.  There are many excursions your travel agent can book that will get you there.

Awesome Destination Wedding
My new husband and I just got back from our Destination Wedding in Mexico. Holy cow, it was perfect. Poor April held my hand all the way. I am so glad we had her take care of everything. April was so understanding and she even told me she had a Destination Wedding in Mexico herself. She put me at ease just knowing she knew what I was feeling.

The Wedding was simply amazing! Everyone made it there with the exception of my elderly grandparents, because of Covid but we got the resort video option so they will get to see it.

If you are thinking about a Destination Wedding, April is the BEST!

Amazing Honeymoon in the Dominican Republic
My husband and I just got back from Punta Cana and it was WONDERFUL! I thought planning a honeymoon now was unthinkable but April set everything up for us and knew everything about restrictions. She made sure that we were taken care of and everything went smoothly.
Yes, I recommend April 100% and 5 Stars! We will most defiantly not take a vacation without her now.
Thank you April, for such an amazing Honeymoon!

Quick Mexico Getaway
My friends and I wanted a quick girl’s vacation to Mexico and April set everything up for us. She even booked us catamaran to Playa Mujerez, which was so much fun. There were 10 of us, all together and everything went smoothly. She was so patient and knowledgeable.

Now our husbands are planning their Guy Getaway for July. It is so funny how excited our husbands are getting about their upcoming trip.

I can’t explain how much easier it was using April as our travel agent.
5 STARS hands down!!!

I will always use April and I know all of the girls will!

I 110% Recommend April
I had never used a Travel Agent before because I though they cost money. April was able to explain that she is compensated by her vendors once we travel so she doesn't charge for her services.
I can truly say that using a Travel Agent, or at least April, was night and day from doing everything on my own. Her knowledge and expertise was mind blowing and I am never going to book a trip on my own again. This was so easy.
I recommend April 110%
