Classic Kayak-NEXT MONTH

 Our first guided trip of the season is officially booked (unless one pops up between now and then anyway)! We just booked a Classic Kayak for November 13th-17th. I thought it might be fun to give you an idea of how our trips run. This would be a sample itinerary for our Classic Kayak:

Kayakers usually fly in the first date of the trip because that night will be spent at a local resort or hotel. We will meet you for dinner (we pick up this tab) for a meet and greet with the entire group and guides. We will also issue your dry bags at this time so that you can work on getting your personal items packed in them that evening.

Day 1: We will pick you up at your hotel first thing in the morning and take you to your kayak and gear. You pick out your boat; we issue remaining gear, then load up and head to the launch site at the Northern tip of Great Exuma. Once we get on the water, we will paddle for about an hour over to Boysie Cay, a beautiful low lying cay with a big soft white beach which is visible for miles.
We will make camp here the first night. Afternoon activities here will most likely include setting up camp, snorkeling on the ocean side and exploring a nearby blow hole before you enjoy a nice home cooked meal with a breath-taking sunset.

Day 2: After breakfast we begin packing up camp and head about six miles northwest to Norman’s Pond Cay. We will stop for lunch along the way at Windsock Cay which is a beautiful little cay surrounded by shallow sandy water frequented by large sting rays.

Norman’s Pond offers a variety of activities and could be a lay-over (2 nights) stop. The cays near Norman’s Pond Cay host endangered Rock Iguanas, top-notch snorkeling, a cave inland that you can snorkel in and a large pond accessible at high tide. We will go for a swim off-shore to dive up fresh conch in the shallow water to use to prepare fresh conch salad!

Day 3: From Norman’s Pond Cay we will cross over to a secluded and kayak-only accessible stretch of cays known as the Brigantines. Because the water around the Brigantines is extremely shallow, regular boats can’t access these exotic cays. Mangroves run all along these beautiful cays and provide a safe haven and nursery for baby fish of all kinds, baby sharks, sting rays, turtles and much more. These cays also have a few deep channels and shallow rocks that are great for snorkeling.

Day 4: From the Brigantines we are only a short paddle back to the mainland. After a final breakfast we will pack up camp one last time and start our journey home. Once back on the mainland, we will unpack our kayaks and get ready to haul everything back to town. Once we are back with the gear in George Town we will unpack and sort out everyone’s gear and luggage. After everything is sorted out, you will be taken to your hotel where a nice hot shower and air conditioning await you!
