class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to expect.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the operator and excursion you choose, you may experience one or more of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"pk-list-positive wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Swimming with the famous swimming pigs<\/strong><br>These pigs are anything but shy and come to meet you while grunting. Our oldest daughter loved it, although she had to get used to it at first. They are bigger than you think and quite enthusiastic. But soon, like us, she was walking around with a big smile and didn&#8217;t want to leave.   <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Visiting iguanas on Allen Cay<\/strong><br>Here you will walk among Bahamian rock iguanas, which may look imposing, but are just curious and relaxed. Bring some fruit and they&#8217;ll come right to you. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Snorkeling at Lee Stocking Island<\/strong><br>The water here is so clear that you can see the fish almost from the boat. As soon as you jump in, you swim among colorful coral and tropical fish. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Swimming with nurse sharks at Compass Cay<\/strong><br>Exciting? Maybe a little. But these sharks are very calm and used to people, making it a truly unique experience.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hiking on a pristine sandbar<\/strong><br>On some tours, you&#8217;ll make a stop at a <strong>sandbar<\/strong>, a shallow patch of sand in the middle of the ocean. Here you are literally standing on a strip of white sand surrounded by turquoise water. A cool place to relax for a while and take great photos. Don&#8217;t forget your drone!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 id=\"what-tour-operators-are-there\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What tour operators are there?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several operators that provide tours to the Exuma Cays. The price, itinerary and quality of the experience can vary from operator to operator. These are three well-known providers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/exumawatersports.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Exuma Water Sports<\/a><\/strong><br>One of the <strong>top rated tour operators<\/strong> on Exuma, known for their <strong>professional organization and well-crafted excursions<\/strong>. They offer both <strong>half-day and full-day tours<\/strong>, with stops at familiar highlights such as swimming pigs, iguanas and nurse sharks. <strong>Hotel pickup is included<\/strong>, making it extra easy. Their boats are <strong>modern and well maintained<\/strong>, and the guides get high praise for their knowledge and enthusiasm. Prices are slightly higher than some other providers, but according to many reviews, the experience is <strong>worth every penny<\/strong>.   <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exumawatertours.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Four C&#8217;s Adventures<\/a><\/strong><br>In addition to boat tours, they also offer <strong>flights and combination tours<\/strong> that allow you to admire Exuma from the air. They are <strong>slightly more affordable than Exuma Water Sports<\/strong>, but slightly less well known and sometimes receive mixed reviews.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/coastlineadventuresexuma.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Coastline Adventures<\/a><\/strong><br>A small-scale tour operator that focuses on <strong>private tours and itinerary flexibility<\/strong>.<br>They use smaller boats, which gives a more intimate experience, but they <strong>don&#8217;t offer regular half-day tours<\/strong>. If you want a shorter trip, you would need to book an expensive private option. For families with young children, a full-day tour can be a bit intense. However, they are well reviewed and known for their personal service.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>We chose <strong>Exuma Water Sports<\/strong> and would definitely recommend them. They are professional, well organized and offer a great experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex

wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Group half-day tour<\/strong>: from <strong>$175<\/strong> to <strong>$190 per person<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Group tour full-day<\/strong>: <strong>$399 per person<\/strong>, but with more stops<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Private half-day tour<\/strong>: <strong>$1,800 per group<\/strong>, very exclusive and flexible though<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Private tour full-day<\/strong>: luxurious experience, but also most expensive. From <strong>$2,800<\/strong> to <strong>$3,900<\/strong> <strong>per group<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Children under 3 can join for free<\/strong>, so for our youngest we didn&#8217;t have to pay. That was just as well, because she slept almost the entire tour. She fell asleep after a few minutes on the boat and didn&#8217;t wake up until the iguanas on the way back.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"pk-alert pk-alert-success pk-alert-multiline\" role=\"alert\" >\n<p><b>Important:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Just like in the US, a tip of at least 15 to 20% is expected in the Bahamas, even for excursions.

We saw one ourselves, but because of the rough sea, the water was murky and we didn&#8217;t really get to swim with it. We had seen videos of sharks swimming nearby beforehand, so we preferred to stay close to shore because of the murky water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Visit George Town and the Straw Market<\/strong>: George Town is small, but here you will find the famous <strong>Straw Market<\/strong>, a fun place to buy Bahamian souvenirs or handmade products.

id=\"little-exuma-why-you-shouldnt-miss-this-hidden-gem\" class=\"wp-block-heading pk-heading-numbered\">Little Exuma: why you shouldn&#8217;t miss this hidden gem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>South of Great Exuma is <strong>Little Exuma<\/strong>, a small island that feels even more peaceful and pristine. Here it really is all about sun, sea and the most beautiful beaches, without big hotels or crowds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Personally, we found Little Exuma even more beautiful than Great Exuma<\/strong>. The beaches here are even more pristine, the water is crystal clear and it feels like you are on a private island. If you are looking for that real paradise vibe, this is the place to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"pk-list-positive wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tropic of Cancer Beach<\/strong>: If the stories are to be believed, this is the most beautiful beach in the Bahamas. The soft, white sand and clear blue water make it a real dream spot. It was high on our list, but we ended up sticking with Forbes Hill Beach. We absolutely did not regret that.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Forbes Hill Beach<\/strong>: We were actually planning to also visit Tropic of Cancer Beach, but fell <strong>so in love with Forbes Hill Beach<\/strong> that we stayed there all day. Normally when traveling we try to see as much as we can, but here we really thought: <em>this is perfect, why go any further?<\/em> Maybe we missed out on the most beautiful beach in the Bahamas as a result, but for us, nothing could beat the atmosphere and feel of Forbes Hill. A hidden gem that we didn&#8217;t regret for a second.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"pk-alert pk-alert-success pk-alert-multiline\" role=\"alert\" >\n<p><b>Tip:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Little Exuma is easy to reach from Great Exuma. The islands are connected by a bridge, so you can simply drive there by car. The drive itself is already an experience. You&#8217;ll drive over crystal-clear water with stunning views, making it a perfect spot to stop for a photo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default

There are more than enough options: from <strong>chic resorts with infinity pools<\/strong> and <strong>cozy boutique hotels<\/strong> on secluded beaches to <strong>cheaper houses<\/strong> (with or without pools) you can rent. so, there is a suitable place for every type of traveler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But fair is fair: <strong>it&#8217;s not cheap<\/strong>. Exuma is not a backpacker destination. Prices for hotels and resorts are higher than on many other Caribbean islands. <strong>Still, traveling on a smaller budget is certainly possible.<\/strong> By choosing a <strong>guesthouse, Airbnb or simple accommodation in George Town<\/strong>, you can save quite a bit.

id=\"what-does-a-vacation-to-exuma-bahamas-cost\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does a vacation to Exuma, Bahamas cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Exuma is not a cheap destination, but if you<strong> pay a little attention<\/strong> you can control some of the costs. Here&#8217;s a breakdown of what we spent during our <strong>6-day trip<\/strong> to Exuma in the Bahamas: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 id=\"airline-tickets\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Airline tickets<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>For our return flights to Exuma, we paid <strong>\u20ac1,137.55<\/strong> for <strong>2 adults and 1 child<\/strong>. Puck was not yet 2 years old and was therefore allowed <strong>on our lap for free<\/strong>. That definitely helped with the cost, but it is still a hefty expense for a flight to the Bahamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 id=\"hotels\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hotels<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>We stayed 5 nights at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/booking.tp.st\/I96oNmO9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Peace &amp; Plenty Resort<\/a><\/strong> for a total of <strong>\u20ac1,785<\/strong>. Breakfast was not included, so that was added on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to keep it a little cheaper? Then consider <strong>renting a cottage, apartment or guesthouse<\/strong>, which are available from about <strong>\u20ac150 per night<\/strong>. Just count on the quality often being basic.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 id=\"food-and-drink\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food and drink<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>In total, we spent about <strong>\u20ac840<\/strong> on food and drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Breakfast was not included with the hotel, so we ate outside or at the hotel itself every morning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For lunch we usually bought something simple at the supermarket (bread, cookies, chips) and that saved in cost, but was still quite expensive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dinner we did do in restaurants.
