The Bahamas Lucayan Indians invented their version of the canoe over 500 years ago.  And it makes sense as The Bahamas offers some of the best ocean kayaking locations in the world.  At the forefront of kayaking in The Bahamas is Out-Island Explorers.  We offer the largest fleet of ocean kayaks in The Bahamas and are here to help you get up close and personal with the beautiful Exuma Cays.  

The Cays are the ultimate destination for hundreds of seasoned sailors every year, and are now the newest and soon to be most popular kayaking destination in the Caribbean.  Experience this secluded tropical paradise before it becomes saturated like other kayaking locations around the world.  Your experienced guides will help you plan your trip, help you decide which islands you want to stop at, how many miles you want to cover a day, offer advice, and ensure your safety for the entire trip. 

Look forward to home cooked meals every night; deserted beaches and untouched coral reefs during the day.  While the weather can be unpredictable, the hundreds of Cays act as a barrier between the shallow calm clear waters of the Bahama Bank and the deep waters of Exuma Sound, thus giving us almost constantly calm waters with little wind resistance. 

Our trips cater to both the experienced and the newcomer alike as you can decide how much distance you want to cover, or how much time you want to spend on each island hiking or sightseeing.  Look over the side of your kayak and see the ocean floor 5-30 feet away!  Rays, dolphins and turtles are easy to spot against the crystal clear sandy bottom; while grouper, lobster and snapper await in the nearby reefs if you can catch 'em!  We’ll provide you with everything you need, from  a reliable ocean kayak to all the camping gear you could need.

Been kayaking for years and want to do it on your own?  Check out our rentals section and let us provide you with the equipment you need to make your own adventure.
