Green Turtle Cay

Most Trips will start with the first night at the Green Turtle Club Marina.  Discover the casual elegance of a sophisticated Bahamas hotel and vacation resort in the exotic Out Islands of Great Abaco. Located on Green Turtle Cay, an island just three miles in length, in the Bahamas Family Islands and reached only by boat, the Green Turtle Club and Marina sits on a picturesque harbor surrounded by some of the most spectacular beaches in the world. With an enviable location, the Green Turtle Club is centrally located to be within a short golf cart commute of town and it is the only resort on Green Turtle Cay within an easy walk (less than 10 minutes) from the breathtaking beaches on the Atlantic side of the Cay. The highly acclaimed Club Restaurant features freshly caught Abaco seafood with a new menu nightly of World/Caribbean fusion cuisine. Established in 1964, the Resort and Marina were designed and built to be in harmony with the colonial charm of Green Turtle Cay and the Loyalist settlement of New Plymouth. Honoring the tradition of old English-Bahamian hospitality, the Club offers a quality of service and attention to detail that is no longer commonplace, finding a perfect combination of Out Island relaxation and sophisticated comfort.

Munjack

Located about 30 boat-minutes north of Green Turtle Cay and dotted with a half-dozen superb beaches and secluded coves, Manjack is a virtually uninhabited island with a total of just two very friendly foks live mostly full time on Munjack, full of charm, beauty and secrets ... and some of the most picturesque beaches in all The Abacos. Virtually deserted 99% of the time (it's "crowded" when another boat pulls in a half mile down the beach!), Manjack is a perfect place for a cookout and picnic ... it's a favorite with island residents during holidays or a rare "day off" from work. Abaconians who love this 2.5 mile long island have thoughtfully cobbled together a few picnic tables and even a small screen room, whimsically named the "Munjack Hilton", for those days when there's no breeze and the bugs decide to join in the fun.  Water in this area can run fairly "thin", with approx. 5 foot depth at low tide.  If you follow the wide and clearly marked path, you'll discover the Manjack look-out tower (about 15 minutes from the dock). If it's too rough to venture on Manjack's eastern side in your boat, the tower provides extraordinary vistas of the island's Atlantic side and its miles-long beach.  The shallow waters surrounding the east sides of Manjack team with small amberjack, needlefish, starfish, an rays, nurse sharks, an occasional dolphin, an occasional conch and a wide variety of shells and driftwood. Manjack also offers several secure anchorages, depending on wind direction.

Elbow Cay

Elbow Cay is approxmately 6 miles long and 1/4 mile wide. The Hope Town lighthouse is one of only three kerosene-powered lights in the world, and all three are in the Bahamas. The large Fresnel lens floating in a bath of mercury generates a light visible more than 17 miles. A magnificent barrier reef protects the long sandy beaches, making them perfect for swimming, snorkeling, diving, and fishing. The settlement on Elbow Cay is Hope Town, a small 18th century picturesque village built around a protected harbour Often described as a pastel-coloured New England fishing village, Hope Town has several fine restaurants, lovely inns, good grocery stores with fresh baked bread, a drugstore, interesting shops with artwork, jewelry, and clothing; modern marinas, daily & weekly boat rentals, private vacation homes for rent, an historical museum, a medical clinic, and most importantly a genuinely kind and friendly population

Treasure Cay
We go over by tender, due to shallow water, see tender anchored on the beach below, looks like a post card.  According to Sharon Mariner of
Caribbean Travel and Life magazine's annual "Best of the Caribbean" reader poll (2004), the votes are in and Treasure Cay made "Best Beach" in the entire Caribbean! This award, all by inself, should peak your interest in traveling to Treasure! Currently h
ome to the Abacos only golf course and to some of the best and most photographed beaches in all of The Bahamas, Treasure Cay is The Abacos' 2nd largest mainland settlement, not an island as its name would imply. Originally named as a result of a fleet of more than 15 Spanish treasure galleons that sank off its shores in the late 1500's, Treasure Cay is The Abacos' largest example of organized or "master planned" land and community development

Great Abaco/Marsh Harbour
Great Abaco is the largest island in the Abacos. Marsh Harbour is the principal city, the third largest in the Bahamas. It has the largest protected deep water harbour in Abaco, and an international airport serviced by major US and Bahamian carriers. Naturally, it has many shops, restaurants, marinas, and accommodations. A full-service dive shop
is conveniently located in the heart of Marsh Harbour and offers dive and snorkel trips from Whale Cay in the north to Little Harbour in the south.  Rib night at the Jibroom is a great time...enjoy a little rake and scrape...see us below

Great Guana

Located on Great Guana Cay, the largest of the cays in the chain of islands off the shore of Great Abaco, Bahamas.  Nippers Beach Bar & Grill is one of the most famous all-ages hot spots in all of the Abacos.

You may have read about Nippers in travel magazines, seen photos on calendars, or perhaps even seen a  documentary on the Discovery Channel -- but you'll never read about Nippers in any travel brochure.  Why?  Simply, because this particular piece of paradise can't be adequately described in any number of words or photographs.  You simply have to experience it for yourself.

Little Harbour/Pete's Pub
Little Harbour provides an excellent, extremely picturesque and almost land-locked anchorage surrounded by approximately 1.5 miles of virgin beach and some rather amazing water (which is pretty thin in spots, especially at low tide). Lots of local knowledge will help you get into the Harbour ... or lots of seamanship and an excellent eye for Bahamian waters. However, it's well worth the extra effort!  Little Harbour is the site of Pete's Pub, one of the most laid-back, islandy pubs you'll ever see. The Pub is actually fashioned out of the pilot house and deck house of the sailing ship "Langosta", one of the Johnston family's original live-aboards.

Little Harbour is also home to Pete Johnston and his Gallery, Studio and Foundry. Pete is the son of the internationally acclaimed bronze & wood sculptor, Randolph Johnston and carries on his father's tradition admirably. Pete's Pub and its owner's sculpture are about as genuine and unique as it ever gets. Uncrowded even by Abacos standards, Little Harbour, Pete Johnston's Gallery & Foundry and Pete's Pub is wrth the trip.
Oh no it's PetePete's Pub
