EXUMAS CRUISING GUIDE

Exuma

Background

The Exuma chain comprising about 360 or more cays, stretch for about 130 miles beginning 30 miles southeast of New Providence. It is a haven for yachtsmen and is said to be the loveliest part of The Bahamas. The beaches and sea of a large part of the Exuma Cays are being preserved by the Government under the Bahamas National Trust’s Exuma National Land and Sea Park. This comprises underwater limestone and coral reefs, drop-offs, blue holes, caves and marine life, and the last home of the Bahamian iguana, a giant lizard-like creature

Tourism & things to do ashore

Internet/WiFi

  • Exuma Wifi is available from Warderick Wells to Staniel Cay (maybe a little beyond). You buy the prepaid card online or in one of the marinas or stores. It is $10 a day, $25 for three days, $55 for seven days, and another price for a month. They do limit the usage. I've been getting the three day card and it's good for 750 MB. I think the one day is 200 MB
