Just got back from the Bahamas where the highlight was a day trip we took away from bustling Nassau to a tiny private island in Exuma. It took about an hour via speedboat. We fed grapes to iguanas, pet sting rays and witnessed shark-wrestling (and then watched unsuspecting snorkelers float a few feet away from those same sharks)! The company Power Adventures also hosts private events on the tiny island: an all-inclusive wedding for 50 people is $15,000, including transportation. Pretty reasonable considering the location, scenery and amazing fresh food (and endless rum). And with a private guest house, the newlyweds—or anyone, really—can sleep over for $250 a night!
- Approaching the island from the speedboat.
- Looking out at the Caribbean Sea.
- Another gorgeous view from a bit higher up.
- Snorkeling near nurse sharks.
I can’t believe those people are snorkeling near killer nurse sharks!
