What to do and see in Out Islands, Out Islands: The Best National Parks

March 15, 2022 Etsuko Causey

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.

This boat tour was one of the best we have been on (ever!) - and it was our captain that made the difference. We saw lots of turtles and snorkeled in some great areas. We loved the sand bar and overall the entire experience. It was Capt Chris though that made it extra special by taking the time to tell us history of the island/s as we went along and even jumped in the water so we could get a closer look at the largest starfish I’ve seen! A truly enjoyable experience start to finish!!

We had no idea whatcto expect and we were pleasantly surprised. The Preserve is a class act with lots of educational opportunities or just a lovely walk through the Preserve. Everyone that visits the island of Eluethera should visit this Preserve. We spent 3 hours wondering the trails!
