Day Trip To The Bahamas?

I'm going to be down in Florida this summer, and I'll be taking my checkout flight in a Cessna 182, so I figured I might as well take a day trip out to the Bahamas. Which airports should I look at flying into?

    Don't know exactly what your looking for ............Snorkeling is everywhere. Fishing, diving with sharks or a dolphin encounter are on Bimini.

    Staniel Cay can launch you to Thunderball grotto , pig island or rent a boat ( with a waterproof GPS) or a jetskii and go off on your own. Google all these places. You tube search as well. Google Isles Inn staniel cay - they rent boats, CHEAP hotel and 100 yards from the airstrip. Trust me - Stay and enjoy the Exumas for more than 1 day !!!! Its paradise - you will see !!!!

    Normans cay is deserted, but has a bar ( McDuffs ) and about 20 residents. Perfect DESERTED beach's as no one is there. Relax on YOUR own beach and go grab lunch with Kat at McDuffs. Carlos Leider ( drug king pin) has an old rundown mansion to explore. Google Carlos Leieder - his private pilot wrote a great book about his adventures during those days. There is a plane wreck to dive there as well. Normans cay has a landing strip. Kat may need supplies and will pay you to fly them out. Google McDuffs bar and Normans Cay.

    Leaf cay was recently purchased by some ex airlines couple and they are building a resort ,and yes, they have a runway. Maybe they would offset your fuel costs to fly in some supplies.

    You also will probably have to stop some where first for Bahamas customs as not all islands have customs so check. Chub cay (nothing there really, just customs) , Abacos , Bimini have them I know - Staniel Cay and Normans Cay do not.

    Watermakers air is another resource to google and ask questions.

    Your airports will be Ft Lauderdale executive and Pompano executive .

    Source(s): Have fun and once you start to learn the Exumas you will be in LOVE. Rent a jetskii and go have fun ! I bet you can fly over some banannas or napkins as cargo and offset your fuel and taxes to make this trip ! Google and You Tube search all the places . HAVE FUN ,AND KEEP THIS JEWEL TO YOURSELF PLEASE !!!!

    that's a dumb question... Spend high quality time including your guy or get a bag... DUH! in case you relatively love your guy and ain't utilising him like a gold digger, you may bypass up the bag and spend some high quality time in the Bahamas. And the different holiday is in basic terms greater high quality time... Romance that could final continually or a bag which would be out of style and start to crumble in 5-10 years? it is your existence lady.
