An Exuma fly-in day trip from Nassau is how you reach the Exuma Sandbanks and Staniel Cay without a long boat haul from the capital. A scenic airplane of about 30 minutes each way takes you out, then a small-group boat spends the middle of the day around swimming pigs, a sandbar and Thunderball Grotto — weather, route and tide permitting.
The Nassau / Exuma hub has one flight-forward day: about 6 hours total from hotel pickup to return. It is not a short aerial hop alone — the boat circuit is a substantial part of the day.
