Things to do in Inagua
7 places and activities across 3 areas: beaches, reefs, caves, settlements, food and the outings worth a boat or a long drive.
Book a local guide and suitable vehicle for the interior. Little Inagua is a separate boat expedition.
Everything here is a real place or a real local activity, checked against local sources. Photographs are used with permission and credited below, and appear only where one exists for that exact place or activity. We do not show star ratings from other platforms. Each entry says how you reach it, roughly how long to allow and what to confirm locally, because access on the Out Islands changes with tides, weather, private ownership and the season.
