The 10 Best Islands in Out Islands, Out Islands

February 2, 2022 Dorsey Hagwood

The Out Islands are synonymous with sport, from the depths of the Gulf Stream that yield big game fish to the coral reefs just off shore that are catnip to scuba divers. Sailing, kayaking and beach-combing add action to lazy days in the sun, while resident pink flamingos and rare Bahama parrots color local hikes.

Long Island

An island in the Bahamas best known for its shark feeding dives.

Reviewed By MBullard - Rhode Island, United States

An amazing island; completely free of typical "tourist scene." If you love nature, this is the place to go. We would definitely go again. Tip for getting there and away: Learn from our mistake, DO NOT FLY SOUTHERNAIR CHARTER. Either use BahamasAir out of Stella Maris airport or pay for your own private charter. SouthernAir Charter cancels their flights and this is apparently a "known" thing. We didn't know this unfortunately. They canceled our return flight because they didn't sell enough tickets. As a result, we lost our last day of vacation as well as the money we'd paid for our rental house, and what should have been one 10-hour travel day home, was turned into two days of travel home with a nearly 24-hr stay on Nassau (a place we never wanted to go).

Attention snorkelers! Beautiful Elkhorn coral nearly touch the surface of the water, meaning great visibility for those who shun the wetsuits and oxygen tanks.

James was a great host for a day on the water! Feeding his pigs and other animals on Currie Sound Cay was such a treat. We spotted loads of sea turtles, found a huge starfish, learned some cool history and shared a delicious lunch of cracked conch, seafood critters and mahi (and 10-12 french fries ;) For sure a highlight of our trip and we will definitely be back for another excursion!

Left Bimini and stopped at Chub Cay with our trawler. What a beautiful new marina with first class service. One of the wonderful people we met was the bartender at the beach bar named "Portia" who was a delight and made fantastic drinks. Your staff is excellent and "Portia" made our afternoon very special.
