We love getting to go to the Bahamas, especially when it’s with gorgeous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit rookies Kelsey Merritt, Winnie Harlow and Olivia Brower! But these ladies weren’t the only things that made our stay in Exuma so memorable. From the stunning scenery to amazing adventures, every minute of our time there was absolutely perfect!

Every good trip starts with a great hotel, and that’s what you’ll get when you stay at the Grand Isle Resort.

We were also lucky enough to receive much of our boat transportation around Exuma from Sun Fun Tours. Captain Tyrone Munroe even planned a day of adventure for us during our time there. We swam with sharks and turtles, snorkeled through Thunderball Grotto, visited Iguana Island, and more!

We can’t say enough good things about our time in Exuma. Stop what you’re doing and add this incredible destination to your list of places to visit right now!
