What We Saw

Abaco Outback offers naturalist-guided kayak tours through various saltwater tidal creeks along the mainland of Great Abaco Island in the northern Bahamas. All trips originate at and return to Abaco Outback office in Marsh Harbour.

Full day tour takes you through a diverse and complex system of creeks formed by mangroves and rocky islands. There are salt water blue holes to snorkel over that extend hundreds of feet beneath the sea floor.

There is also great snorkeling in the channels between islands, where you drift with the current over a coral reef eco-system. (great visibility, lots of fish, WOW!)
