Amazing time on Amura with Rebecca and Max. The boat is incredible for a day trip and we had a great time at all the stops swimming and snorkeling! The crew did an incredible job of making the time very memorable.

There was construction going on the beach, which wasn't ideal, but we were told that anchorage was the best for the day.

The exumas are really cool but there were surprisingly few reef fish and a lot more boat traffic than I expected. Beautiful though!

Rat Cay was absolutely the best place for seeing turtles, stingrays, and walking along a beautiful beach. Also, the sunset at Pineapples on Green Turtle Cay was amazing!
