Meet with Air Journey this morning at the North Palm Beach County Airport (F45) at the Landmark Aviation FBO. Refuel, collect your forms, survival gear (if needed), attend briefing (weather and to hear the latest details of the Treasure Hunt and how to collect clues). We will fly to to Great Abaco, the first stop on our Journey.
The afternoon is at leisure to relax on the beach or explore on your own. We suggest a visit to Hope Town, clearly the most scenic settlement in the Bahamas. The harbor and its famous lighthouse are stunningly beautiful and quaint, vibrant-colored houses reflect simpler days. Motorized vehicles are restricted from town, so the streets are quiet and a pleasure to walk.
We will meet for a welcome cocktail before dinner.

Enjoy a full day on your own exploring the island. A short bicycle ride from the Cove brings visitors to the Glass Window Bridge located at the narrowest section of the island. An awesome site awaits as one views the startling contrast between the rough deep Blue Atlantic on one side and the tranquil pale turquoise of the Caribbean on the other.
Visit Lighthouse Beach and enjoy gorgeous panoramic views of Eleuthera's hundreds of miles of beaches and tropical interior.
