Overview & Pricing
Welcome spring in idyllic retreats in the Bahamas. We start off at Treasure Cay on Abaco Island where beach lovers, snorkelers, divers, fishing and golfing enthusiasts alike can indulge in their favorite past-times. For those interested in learning about the colonial history of the Bahamas we are offering an optional day trip to Green Turtle Cay, only a 15 minute ferry ride away, to tour the quaint little island, enjoy its beaches, experience the local fare and learn about loyalist history and lifestyle. Next we are off for a day trip to explore colorful Harbour Island and its famous pink sand beaches. The historic village of Dunmore Town on Harbour Island served as the first capital of the Bahamas. Golf carts are available for rent to tour the island or you may prefer to walk its narrow streets and have lunch in one of its many restaurants. Harbour Island also offers a delightful shopping experience. In the afternoon we will meet back at the ferry dock to head back to the airport on North Eleuthera and fly to our final destination. On Great Exuma Island we will have a day to relax, enjoy the beach, dive or snorkel, boat or fish or take the ferry boat to the pristine beaches of Stocking Island for more snorkeling or diving.
Caribbean Sky Tours staff will be present throughout the trip and will review document and equipment requirements, assist with filing flight plans and eAPIS, provide Bahamas immigration, customs and civil aviation documents to all participants.
All pilots are welcome to join us on this trip.
