Exuma Cays
Mesmerizing patterns of shallow sandbars and deep channels in impossible shades of blue.
Half Moon Cay
A stunningly symmetrical crescent-shaped beach on this private island sanctuary.
Highborne Cay
Clear turquoise lagoons often dotted with luxury yachts and sailboats.
Conception Island
An uninhabited national park island featuring pristine white sands and vibrant reefs.
Sit on the right side for morning flights to get the best illumination on the turquoise waters. The transit over the northern Exuma cays is the visual peak of the trip, so have your camera ready within 10-15 minutes of takeoff.
