What Others Say

"I really don't think I've ever had a more exciting trip and want to plan
one with others in the future as I had never sea kayaked, I didn't really know what to expect - but this trip exceeded anything I could have ever have hoped for."
Sue Sutliff- Nov. 2002

"I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all your help towards our most recent Exuma trip.I want to thank you and your Georgetown crew for a successful 6 wk expedition in the Exumas. Your equipment was in excellent condition, your crew of people in Georgetown have commendable knowledge on boating and kayaking, and their friendly helpful attitude made it a delight to meet and work with them.

Thank you and Thank Starfish in general for making our trip the experience of a lifetime".
Bill L Bailey- June, 2002

"Our group thoroughly enjoyed paddling in the Exuma Islands. With undeveloped, remote and beautiful islands, the setting was just perfect
for us. Mike kept us safe and well-fed, and our equipment was in good condition. It was a very positive experience, one that we will savor for a long time."
-Jim Grasman- March, 2002

"We had a great time in the Exumas. The people in the islands are warm and friendly. The folks at Starfish were just terrific! If you're looking for a relaxing vacation with some kayaking or sailing thrown in... I highly recommend the Exumas and Starfish".
-Bob and Sue Minthorn- March, 2002

"Our environmentally conscious outfitter was Starfish, The Exuma Adventure Center. Starfish practices "no trace" camping.....we were greeted by a tropical panorama ... expansive beaches and palms and Casuarina pines and the variously shaded turquoise waters dotted with numerous islands."
"West Michigan Coastal Paddler Magazine"

"Starfish Adventure Center offers a wide range of activities from its base in George Town, including sea kayaking, biking, sailing, snorkeling and diving. They run a professional operation, are extremely accommodating, and the location can't be beat!"
-John and Nancy Halloran, Adventure Learning- Feb, 2002

"Ask any globe savvy boater about the Exumas, and be prepared for the gush about it's brilliantly clear waters, vast protected harbor, undeveloped cays, and empty beaches. Kayakers, while their numbers are much fewer, prize the Exumas for the same reasons."

-"Six Sea Kayaking Paradises" -Sports Illustrated Women Magazine November, 2001

"Outside Magazine's top pick for the coolest Sea kayak adventure -The Exuma Islands. This 90 mile long mosaic of more than 365 sandy cays is blessed with calm seas and dozens of flourishing reefs."

"The Best Islands for Sea Kayaking" - Outside Magazine, November 2001

"Some of Exumas most dramatic scenery is best appreciated from the peaceful perch of a sea kayak...For a real adventure, book one of Starfish's guided kayak trips. You may find yourself watching a blizzard of fish swarm a shipwreck, searching for sand dollars on a deserted beach, snorkeling into a sea cave, or finding out about bush medicine while you hike along a nature trail to a 1700's Loyalist ruin."

-Bahamas for Dummies-

"Kayaking is superb in the Exumas....Imagine paddling through the crystal
clear waters by day and camping under the stars at night - heavenly!...
Starfish also offers cultural, ecological, and historical tours."

-Lonely Planet - Bahamas-

"Where the food is never fast, the nights are never dull, and you'll never want to leave. The Exumas are blessed with sparkling white beaches, mangroves and green marshes nourished by the surrounding sea. Lobster, conch, grouper and snapper abound. The sun shines. Everyone knows everyone else. They smile. They learn your name within hours of your arrival. It is a pleasure to see you. Really."
-Latitudes Magazine-

"There is no more adventurous way to see the scattered beaches, rolling scrubland, and coral reefs of this island than by kayak."
-Frommers Bahamas 2000-

"Sea kayaking conditions are ideal throughout the Exumas. Stocking Island is the ideal size for circumnavigating to explore the more secluded East shore."
-Hidden Bahamas-

"Tourism has not marred the serene existence of the Exumas. The majority of Exumians still make a living from the land and the sea. What draws visitors are the exceptional cruising waters and the idyllic deserted islands. Diving & snorkeling are superb."
-Ulysses Travel Guide to the Bahamas-

"These islands have some of the finest reef, blue holes, caves and drop-offs in the Bahamas. And all are teeming with reef and deep water fish and marine life of every shape, size, and form."
-Adventure Guide to the Bahamas-

"The water quality and scenery are excellent- this is some of the finest kayaking I've had the pleasure to experience." Starfish staff is.. "extremely gracious, very nice and knowledgeable."

"But the trip's standout hour came the next morning. As we coasted back toward George Town, the hot sun splintered through the turquoise sea, casting a brilliant net that scrolled across the white-sand floor- picture an enormous David Hockney pool. Then, from just beyond my right paddle, came a sudden, loud out-breath. Three dolphins leaped among our bright plastic hulls for a moment and then vanished."
-Susan Esrey, Outside Magazine, February, 2001-
