Exuma, Bahamas · Bowcar Rentals

The Best Way to Explore Exuma, Bahamas — On Your Own Terms

Hidden beaches, world-famous blue holes, and roads that feel like they belong to just you. Here’s how to make the most of Exuma with a Bowcar Rentals buggy.

Self-guided rental Georgetown, Exuma From $300 for 24 hours

Exuma is the kind of place that makes you wonder why you ever went anywhere else. Turquoise water so clear you can see the bottom from thirty feet up. Beaches so quiet you’d swear you’re the only person on the island. And roads that feel like they were made just for you.

Most visitors to Exuma see a fraction of what the island has to offer. They stick to the resort, take a swimming pig boat tour, and head home thinking they’ve seen it. They haven’t.

The real Exuma is out on the roads — and the best way to find it is in your own open-side buggy from Bowcar Rentals. No guide, no schedule, no fixed itinerary. Just you, your crew, and the freedom to go wherever the road takes you.

Bowcar Rentals opened its Exuma location in March 2024 at the Exuma Yacht Club in Georgetown — right across from Island Boys Restaurant. Pick up your buggy, grab a map, and go. Exuma is waiting.

01 Why Rent a Buggy in Exuma?

Exuma’s best spots are spread across the island — some on main roads, some down dusty tracks that most visitors never find. A buggy gives you the flexibility to explore all of them, on your own timeline, without having to rush back for a boat or worry about missing a pickup.

Our open-side 6-seater buggies are comfortable, reliable, and perfect for families and groups. Choose from a 24-hour rental, 2 days, 3 days, or longer — Exuma rewards those who take their time.

The Bowcar Rentals difference

“Do yourself a favour and book a buggy with Bowcar — you will not be sorry! Get away from all the tourists and see the east side of the island and experience Exuma like a local.” — David B, guest review

02 The Best Places to Visit in Exuma

Here are the spots our guests love most — and that most visitors never find on their own.

Tropic of Cancer Beach
One of the most beautiful beaches in the entire Bahamas. The water here is an almost unreal shade of turquoise and the sand is powder white. It sits right on the Tropic of Cancer line — hence the name. Go early, bring snacks, and stay as long as you can.

Coco Plum Beach
A secluded stretch of paradise that rewards those who venture off the beaten path. Calm, clear water perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Most tourists never make it here — which is exactly why you should.
Hidden gem · Perfect for swimming
Dean’s Blue Hole
One of the world’s deepest blue holes at over 600 feet deep. Standing at the edge and looking down into that perfect circle of deep blue water is one of those moments you simply don’t forget. A true natural wonder of the Bahamas.

Exuma Cays Land & Sea Park

Santana’s Restaurant
A local favourite for authentic Bahamian food with beautiful waterfront views. The kind of place where the food is made fresh, the portions are generous, and the atmosphere is pure Exuma. Don’t leave without trying the fresh seafood.
