Mayaguana is a haven for nature lovers, especially those drawn to the beauty of wildlife in its natural habitat. On land, the islands are alive with a dazzling array of creatures, from the iconic West Indian flamingoes that gather in dramatic pink flocks at wetlands like Booby Cay and Blackwood Point Nature Preserves, to the elusive Bahamian rock iguana basking in the sun on remote beaches. Birdwatchers will be in paradise here, with over 300 species of birds, including herons, and ospreys, many of which are endemic or migratory wonders. 

Below the surface, the Bahamas boasts one of the most vibrant marine environments in the world. Its crystal-clear waters reveal thriving coral reefs, home to brilliant tropical fish, sea turtles, eagle rays, and even the world’s largest living creature – the humpback whale. Divers and snorkelers can swim alongside dolphins, glide through mysterious underwater wrecks, or visit the world’s third-largest barrier reef. 

Whether you’re an adventurer or a nature photographer, Mayaguana offers an unforgettable, immersive experience in one of Earth’s most pristine island ecosystems.
