The Exuma Cays
Getting Here and Around
Most people visit the cays with their own boats; you'll need one to island-hop, although you can fly into Staniel Cay. The channels are confusing for inexperienced boaters, especially at low tide, and high tide can hide reefs and sand bars just underneath the surface. If this sounds nerve-racking, look into booking a boat tour. Once on a cay, most are small enough to walk. Golf carts are popular on Staniel Cay.
