That looks absolutely heavenly...water is beautiful

[@kendracatherman3927]

Thanks for sharing your adventure!! We’re heading there Sunday. Can’t wait 🙌

[@Aerostar509]

My most favorite place on Earth to visit, we were there in August. I take squirt cheese to feed the fish.

[@MrDollarhide]

I never fill my suitcase, so I take cat food to feed the cats at the resorts. might need to pack some fish food too.

[@jamesdunn3387]

Thanks for sharing this I hope I get to go

[@katrinastubbs33-3]

I loved your video, how you captured each area was great. Thank you for sharing. This month I will be going to the Bahamas I hope to see some of these areas while I am there.

[@chefjosey3027]

What an amazing video! Love the music and the quality of the video. those iguanas are not nice I see lol

[@MediaMechanix]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@joecritch143]

Hi, what time of year was this? Looked like perfect weather.

[@MrDollarhide]

This looks amazing. How many days was this filmed over and how close were all of these places to each other?

[@MediaMechanix]

Filmed over five days, everything within 20 miles...

[@bobboindahouse]

How was navigating to each key? Did you use GPS Nav on your phone or a device? I'm coming down in March and want to do something very similar to this! Thanks for the sweet video!

[@eddie0175b]

Thank you for sharing. Were planning to go to the Examas this July but not sure.The water looks amazing! Did your package including meal, lodge and boat? which resorts?

[@MediaMechanix]

Staniel Cay Yacht Club - "Package Plan" Includes meals and boat...

[@coffeephish]

You scored! great drone work and editing too! What month did you go? I see the post is Dec.

[@MediaMechanix]

September - First week of "Low Season"

[@user-lp9wl8kx4x]

Where can I find information about flights from nassau to Exuma? We are going next month.

[@ChuckTheNorris95]

Great experience! Thanks for filming it! Have you rented the boat? If yes, you can tell me where exactly?

[@MediaMechanix]

Hi, we stayed at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club. When you book a bungalow, for an additional charge, you get all your meals and unlimited use of a 17-foot skiff with fuel.

[@nofearifat1]

Hi....How many days do you need to rent a boat to visit so many places? Is it possible to use the boat yourself?

[@rjk877]

Just as enjoyable without staying at the yacht club? They’re book solid. Assume I can still rent a boat and use the restaurant/bar right?

[@jessicadolphin170]

What company did you use?

[@MoviesSam]

How did you learn where to go and how did you organize this. We want to do this but are unfamiliar with the Bahamas

[@MediaMechanix]

Staniel Cay Yacht Club provides the boats and maps of the area. A GPS with a map of the Exuma's islands would help but is not necessary. See the description above for the attraction locations.

[@stevegrider5700]

Hello. My family and I are going this summer and want to do the same thing. How did you know where to go in the boat, and how did you know where not to drive the boat, like shallow reefs and stuff? Thanks!

[@MediaMechanix]

Hi, they give you a map at Staniel Cay, a GPS would help as well. For your first time you need to go slow to figure out the best route through the shallow spots. Exploring at high tide is best. 👍

[@stevegrider5700]

@@MediaMechanix Thanks! Looks like alot of fun!

[@kathrynpratt421]

What island is the beach/blue hole on?

[@MediaMechanix]

Blue Hole (Little Bells Cay)

[@louislaguardia1659]

Awesome video! We really enjoyed this. Question, What was the airline you flew on? And how comparable is this to a commercial flight? Response greatly appreciated if possible.

[@johnboyf-15vet51]

When were y’all there?

[@johnboyf-15vet51]

I just saw it at the end of your video, when you were there. We are planning a bareboat charter there next year.

[@PedroRodriguez-ui6pq]

Super nice!! any advise to rent a boat..we planning to go however, I cant find boat rentals there!!

[@MediaMechanix]

Boats come with the bungalows at Staniel Cay Yacht Club as part of the "Package Plan". The yacht club is the best place to call when inquiring about boat rentals in the surrounding area.

[@evcoolgene]

How did you know how to get to the different places? And how do you keep from getting lost while island hopping like that?

[@MediaMechanix]

We travel with friends that have spent time exploring the area, plus the yacht club provides a map. Bringing along a GPS helps as well..

[@evcoolgene]

@@MediaMechanix is there cellular internet service out there?

[@MediaMechanix]

Yes, at the yacht club, but service has been intermittent in the past. I believe they are installing Starlink. No cell service away from Staniel Cay. The boats come with a handheld marine radio.

[@evcoolgene]

@@MediaMechanix I would like to boat out to a deserted island in the Bahamas with my wife for a day… is it easy to find an island in that area that is deserted and no other people around?

[@MediaMechanix]

Yes, there are many deserted islands to choose from. Some only a few miles from the Yacht Club.

[@01Talento]

What budget?

[@MediaMechanix]

~$600 a day with the "package plan"

[@jadeveylupek5938]

Oh man, I must marry Johnny Depp!....because of that island he owns!...lol... Nah, he wouldn't want to date me in a real life. Amber Heard is weird for wanting more problems on that peaceful and beautiful island of Johnny Depp. Amber is a boring person!

[@raycaydog]

Omg whats up with the masks? Lame!
