Cut across Great Exuma’s salt-scrub interior and shoreline on a three-hour guided ATV loop that hits historic sites, a pirate-used cave, and the nursery flats where baby sharks and conchs gather. Expect mixed sand and dirt terrain, scenic beach stops and beginner-friendly ATVs.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start with the engine's low thrum and a spit of red dust under the tires — the island opens as you cut inland from the turquoise shore. Salt air, sun-glazed scrub, and sudden silver flats that glint with tiny creatures set the scene. Over three hours you'll thread dirt tracks past centuries-old buildings, slide onto a ridged sand bank and stand where coral fossils jut like fingerprints of the sea.
