Ecotourism On The Berry Islands

The Southern Berry Islands Marine Reserve encompasses all or some of these cays: Crab Cay, Fowl Cay, Chub Cay, Frazer’s Hog Cay, Diamond Rock, Bird Cay, Cat Cay, Big Whale Cay, Goulding Cay, Pigeon Cay and Vigilant Cay. The southernmost tip of Great Harbour Cay has one of the largest and most fertile mangrove creeks in The Bahamas, great for bird watching and home to a variety of marine life that you will see swimming right under your kayak. Little Whale Cay is a private island originally developed by Wall Street mogul Wallace Groves in the 1930s as a residence and bird sanctuary. It has become a lush paradise for a great number of birds, many of which can be traced back to Wallace Groves' original bird collection—flamingos, the endangered West Indian whistling duck, Bahama woodstar, hummingbirds and domestic peacocks.
