Exploring the waters of the Exumas Question: Have you had any experience sea kayaking the Exumas Islands? Can you recommend a qualified outfitter? Is seven to eight days on the water too much? Walt Quillinan
国产吃瓜黑料 Adviser: I haven’t been to the Exumas yet myself, but everything I’ve heard about the 100-mile chain–72-degree turquoise water, calm seas, and crowd-free islands–makes it sound like the ideal place to paddle. Thanks to a scarcity of drinking water and a dearth of deepwater anchorages, you can count on having the Exumas pretty much to yourself, despite the fact that the northernmost caye is only a 20-minute plane ride from the booming resorts on Nassau. And unless you have an aversion to top-notch snorkeling–underwater limestone caves and reefs are teeming with angelfish, fan Ibis Tours (800-525-9411) and Bottom Time 国产吃瓜黑料s (800-234-8464) think so, too: Both run seven- to eight-day trips for about $1,200 per person, including kayaks, tents, sleeping bags, guides, food, and flights within the Bahamas. Getting to the Exumas means flying to Nassau from Miami an then taking a regularly-scheduled puddle-jumper to George Town on Great Exuma. Call |
