Staniel Cay is the fly-in landing and boat base for this Nassau day trip: a small Exuma cay where the scenic airplane arrives, lunch is often framed, and the small-group boat fans out to nearby stops. From the air you see cays and turquoise shallows; on the water you may pass a sunken plane wreck near the cay when routing allows. On the Nassau Exuma hub, Staniel Cay is the anchor of the shared fly-in day — not a multi-night island stay on this ticket.
The Exuma Elite Fly-In Day Trip from Nassau is the one shared day that lands here from Nassau. From USD 850 per person, allow about 6 hours total: scenic airplane about 30 minutes each way, then roughly 3.5 to 4 hours on the boat. From Staniel Cay you may visit swimming pigs at Big Major Cay, Thunderball Grotto, Exuma sandbanks, nurse sharks and iguanas when weather, route and tide allow. Named sights are weather-, route- and tide-dependent — treat them as “you may see,” not guarantees.
This is a flight-forward day with a substantial boat circuit — about 6 hours in total, with a scenic round-trip airplane flight of about 30 minutes each way and roughly 3.5 to 4 hours on a small-group boat at Staniel Cay. It is not a short aerial hop alone. The day is shared. The booking cap is up to 15 guests; boats typically average about 8 for a more intimate circuit. Lunch is island-style (vegan or gluten-free on request). The plane-wreck pass-by is a soft may-see, not a dive ticket. Keep public wording to airplane, scenic flight and fly-in only.
Hotel pickup and return transfer are included from select Nassau hotels and vacation rentals — confirm your address when you book. Exact pickup time is sent the evening before once flight timing is finalized. Be ready at your hotel at that pickup time. Bring a valid photo ID for airport check-in. Attraction and landing fees and applicable taxes are included as listed. Tips for captain and crew are appreciated and not included.
Full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. Flights, boat stops and snorkeling depend on weather, winds, seas and tides. Named sights are “you may see” — routing can change. If the team cancels because conditions are unsafe, follow the free-cancellation or refund policy on your booking. Flexible dates early in your Nassau stay help. The paid guest band starts at age 2. Infants aged 0–1 typically ride free on an adult’s lap as listed when you book. Confirm child pricing on the booking page. An individual weight limit in kg or lb is not stated on the booking page. Weight may still be asked when you book for aircraft balance. Listed as suitable for all physical fitness levels, but the day includes flights, boat travel, swimming or snorkeling stops, and getting on and off the boat. Guests should be comfortable with light activity and shallow water. Pregnant guests and travelers with medical conditions should consult a doctor before booking.
