UKT - Islands

The Ultimate Kayak Trip!!!

There are thousands of islands along our course but I have designated 91 as the primary islands that we plan on staying at. The Exumas are difficult to predict exactly what we will be doing, so I just included all the Exumas that I could identity on the internet. I included a lot of Exumas even though they are only a matter of meters between them because I want us to take our time in them as it is so beautiful there and I would like to take advantage of the land based actitities that we could do there such as relaxing, running, stretching, looking for ruins of Atlantis and the like. If you click on the name of the island you will be taken to the islands page where I explain the island in more detail. After we pass the island I will write a report on it in its page.
