Overview

This boat trip with Elvis Water Taxi Tours leaves from Saint Francis Resort and Marina in George Town and spends roughly three hours exploring the water around Great Exuma. The boat is easy to spot: it carries a sign reading Elvis Water Taxi Tours. The tour runs in the early afternoon, with a 12:00 start.

The route covers three stops around Stocking Island and the coast. First are the beaches of Stocking Island, then more of Stocking Island itself, and finally Hooper's Bay Beach, where the boat stays for about an hour. Stops on Stocking Island get around 45 minutes each. Admission is included at the Beaches of Stocking Island and at Hooper's Bay Beach, while entry to the second Stocking Island stop is free. Soda and pop are provided on board, while alcohol, gratuities and Goods and Services Tax are not included in the fare.

The listing advises against it for travellers with back problems, pregnant travellers and anyone with serious heart conditions, and it is not wheelchair accessible. The trip returns to the same meeting point where it began.
