Formas de ahorrar
Credit Card or Cash
Exuma is basically a cash only island. There are only a few places are taking credit cards, so make sure you have enough cash on you. The local currency is Bahamas Doller (BSD) but everyone is happy with US Dollar (USD) as well.
Qué empacar
Flip Flop's & Sunscreen
The sun is much stronger in the Tropics and we therefore recommend a minimum of Factor 30 sunscreen to avoid risking being burnt.
