I truly appreciate you sharing this amazing footage! The tips are excellent and incredibly helpful. Thank you for putting together such valuable content !!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Your video is one of the best I have seen for people wanting to explore Exuma by land and sea. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Planning our next trip😀
@@JordanOutside been to Eleuthera on multiple occasions and fell in love. It’s been hard to pull the trigger on anywhere else in the Bahamas. Your video might have just done that😀
GREAAAT video, many thanks. We are between Eleuthera and Exhuma. Any color on how much was the boat rental and other excursions? do you drive the boat yourself?
Thank you! We rented the small boat to explore Stocking Island from Minns Watersports: sites.google.com/site/minnswatersports/home. We booked the Swimming with Pigs Excursion with Exuma Watersports. exumawatersports.com/ (Seems like there website is down right now)
What time of the year did you do this trip? Here now and have been to many of these beaches but the water is definitely not this calm as in your video. Definitely looking to visit again but wanting nice calm water to do more snorkeling
You showed most of my favorites...I've been going to Exuma at least once a year since 1984...it is my peaceful place! Don't tell too many people about it! Getting too crowded!!😍💙💙The first time I went in 1984, most of those beaches were empty and my brother and sister in law started going in the mid 1970's....pretty low level of visitors, but they had all those great beaches to themselves.
Would it be better to stay at stocking island or hideaways? I'm stuck and don't know if I wanna be on an stocking or just stay at hideaways and ferry in 1 day. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
@@ajtrevino3663 What are you trying to do? If you’re on Stocking, that’s mainly where you’ll be and will have to hitch a water taxi ride to do anything else. That said, I’m sure it’s an amazing experience on its own.
Thank you. I've been piecing my snorkeling gear together over the years. I originally just bought a cheap set. Then I replaced my mask with an OceanWays Dive Mask. Here's a review I did on it. www.amazon.com/vdp/05d4895d5c2f4be6b552313522f2e71d?ref_=aipsfvideo_aipsfjordanoutside&linkCode=ssc&tag=tifraru-20 They don't sell my fins anymore, but the equivalent of what I use is the Oceanic Viper 2 fins: www.amazon.com/OCEANIC-Suitable-Snorkeling-Lightweight-Comfortable/dp/B096PWNZW6/?th=1. I still use my old snorkel from my original set and that works fine. Hope that helps.
Thanks so much! We are really enjoying the snorkeling gear! My flippers didn’t come in in time but we brought the other gear to a local store and they showed us how to use it and told us we had great goggles! And they have been working perfectly! We checked out most beaches from your video! Thanks again!!! Really made our trip!
@@marisashannon I'm so happy you're having a great time. That stinks that your flippers didn't come in time, but having a great mask makes all the difference!
We are going in May - this is a great resource. Are roads marked for turn offs to beaches? I'm assuming the rental we are in will provide a map. So excited for exploring all these amazing areas of the island
Hi Cathy, I'm so excited for you. You're going to love it. Some of the roads have signs for the beach and others don't. We used Google Maps on our phones and it took us to each beach with no problems. We have AT&T in the US and we activated the international plan while we where there. Our rental car did not provide a map. Hope that helps 😃
Jordan, thank you very much for your awesome videos. In fact, we are going there in February, so your videos will be our guide. If I may ask you one question, when you rent a boat how do you navigate around each spot. Are you using some kind of google map? Do they give you a map? I have a fear of getting lost out there. Thanks for your help.
That's a great question. Yes, they gave us a map with the geographic boundaries. I had studied the area on Google Maps so I knew where I wanted to go, but we also used Google Maps on our phone while we were out on the water. Hope that helps 😃
Just booked it for February. Been wanting to go for so long. Was been turks and caicos or exuma but I feel like Exuma beaches look better .. Did u feel like u needed a 4x4 vehicle or would any car be fine?
Congrats! You're going to have a great time. I would highly recommend renting a Jeep. That's what we had. We had some crazy rain that caused flooding on the streets and dirt roads and we had no issues. Also, the roads have a lot of pot holes so having a vehicle with higher clearance is really nice. Some of the roads are dirt roads too. We were the only ones at Cocoplum Beach because of the flooding on the roads due to rain.
Amazing video. Incredible job with the drone. It changes everything when you see that kind of beauty from up above. Loved every beach. We just came back from Aruba and planning for Exuma in July. Stocking island part was insane. For the boat rental, any idea how much would be to hire someone to navigates those waters and go to Stocking Island? A kayak is the most I have done as far as riding in waters. Once again, amazing job.
Thanks so much. I haven't been to Aruba yet, but it looks amazing. As far as renting a boat and guide to stocking island, I don't know how much that would cost. We rented our boat from Minn's Water Sports and it was my first time driving a boat. It was really easy. They do have a page on their website that recommends people for charters and guides. Hope that helps. sites.google.com/site/minnswatersports/charters-guides?authuser=0
Great video. You hit most of the beaches. Others to check out are the northern side of Stocking Island (the whole thing), and the beaches around Man-O-War, which are only accessible by kayak because of the shallowness.
Thank you so much. We’ve rent a large house, boat, and car the entire month of June. This is such a help to making our daily plans. What bakery and bread is the best
Fantastic video. Love how you showed everything clearly on the map too. Thank you!! We were fortunate enough to join friends at stocking island on their sailboat. Chat n chill is legendary!! We want to do a trip just like this one someday soon.
Oh that stinks that you didn't see any fish. Did you snorkel along the the left side of the beach along the rocks and piers? That's where we saw the fish. I guess everyday is different in what you're going to see.
Thank you for all your info so far. Was there anytime any of you spotted a dangerous or Tiger Shark? I know nurse sharks are safe, but if I see one I might panic and swim away thinking it's dangerous. I mean I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Do you have any tips? Maybe don't swim to deep? Thanks
We only saw nurse sharks the whole time we were there. The nice part is that the water is so clear that you can usually see it off in the distance. With that said, it is the ocean and that's there home so always be as careful as you can.
After watching your video, I changed plans and instead of going to Curacao, we are going to Exuma! I'd like to know where you rented the car! Thank you for this video, I will follow your itinerary!!!
I'm so excited for you! You're going to love the Exumas. Curacao is amazing too so make sure you do that on your next trip. We rented our Jeep from Airport Car Rental. www.exumacarrental.com/ It's located right across from the airport. Hope that helps 😃
Hello Jordan, do you remember the length of time when you left Man-O-War Beach (your last destination) and head back to George Town to return boat? Would you say 30 minutes or 45 minutes? Thank you!
We rented a boat from Minn's Watersports. We rented a 17 foot boston whaler. It cost us $237 plus a $200 dollar deposit, which is used for extra gas. We ended up getting $150 back, so it cost us $287. I just checked the website and it looks like the pricing has gone up a little to $273 per day. sites.google.com/site/minnswatersports/prices-reservations?authuser=0
Thanks Jay, We loved snorkeling at Hoopers Bay Beach because of the turtles. We also loved snorkeling at Exuma Point Beach because of the nurse sharks and star fish. The third snorkeling spot would be Thunderball Grotto. Hope that helps 😃
We were there in June and we had crazy rain with flooded streets, but we rented a Jeep and were still able to get around. It would rain for 4 or 5 hours and then it would be clear again. The locals said that was the most rain they had in a long time. The said it's normal to have rain in June, but not that much.
@@GailAiken I went with my wife and two kids and stayed in a two bedroom Airbnb. This is where we stayed: th-cam.com/video/W9UZOEdTyB8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gKMEO0eWtYelDfnb
Curious, was anyone staying in the Sun House next door since the pool and backyard are shared space? Could be a good or potentially bad situation. Thanks @@JordanOutside
@@GailAiken We had a few days with no one in the other unit, and then the rest of the time with people renting it. They were really friendly and there were no issues for us.
We wanted to hit the cut/lazy river beach, but Minn's Water Sports doesn't allow you to go that far. Man-o-war Cay is the farthest they let you go. We also ran out of time to fit it in. We are definitely going to do that on our next trip there. It looks so fun!
Hey Mackenzie, I'm so excited for you. It's such an amazing place. We booked through Exuma Water Sports.

Would it be better to stay at francis marina resort in stocking island or hideaways? I'm stuck and don't know if I wanna be on an stocking or just stay at hideaways and ferry in 1 day. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Great question. I've never stayed at Francis Marina Resort on Stocking Island. I bet it is amazing. We stayed on Great Exuma so we could have a rental car to hit lots of beaches on Great Exuma and Little Exuma. We rented a boat for 2 days and were able to explore Stocking Island and the surrounding islands and sandbars. It all depends on how much exploring you want to do.
I was actually looking at google earth and identifying some of the beaches you have explored to see if they are worth visiting and your video is so helpful that it makes it easy to see which ones we should visit. I read that renting a car maybe challenging when its peak season. Who did you rent your car from? Thanks again for a very informative video.
Ask your rental as well. We always rent a cottage that comes with a 4wheel drive and a boat, right on the beach down in Rolleville in front of the sandbar around Man-O-War Cay.
How many days did you spend there in exuma ? How many days would u say is the perfect amount??? Also, every place u went was beautifully and seemed like the weather was perfect with no rain.. what month did u go?
We spent 9 days in the Exumas. That was perfect for us. It allowed us to explore all these beaches and go back to our favorites. We went in June and they had a lot of rain. The nice part is that after it would rain, it would clear up like the footage you're seeing. Hope that helps 😃
Hey Jessica, you'll love it. Here's the link to the exact excursion we booked: exumawatersports.com/tours-rates/full-day-007-staniel-cay-swimming-pigs-tour/
@@jessicakilburn Hey Jessica, we really second guessed if the cost was worth it. After going, it was definitely a highlight of our trip. For us it was worth it and we highly recommend it. I don't get anything for recommending this excursion, we just really liked it. If you can afford it, it is worth it.
@@JordanOutside awesome! Just wondering if I should rent a boat or just do this excursion. But I think I’ll just do the excursion and rent a car instead. Thanks for the advice!

We rented the boat for 2 days and it came out to $287. We rented through Minn's Watersports in George Town on Great Exuma. Hope that helps 😃
