About Inagua

Port Inagua in the Bahamas invites visitors to trade crowded harbors for a rare, intimate connection with unspoiled Caribbean charm. Unlike bustling cruise hubs, this official port delivers a frontier feel - vistas of salt ponds shading the horizon, the scent of reef and sea, and a pace that lets guests slip into island time. Signature experiences center on the island's remarkable wildlife and culture: guided walks into Great Inagua National Park to watch pink flamingos rise in dramatic flocks, tranquil boat tours past shimmering salt flats at sunset, and encounters with Mathew Town's colorful storefronts, where artisans spin Bahamian stories into local crafts and conch dishes. Shore excursions are designed to showcase pristine beaches, protected lagoons, and panoramic lighthouse views that reward photographers and families alike, while preserving the fragile ecosystems that make Inagua unique. The port's positioning also highlights a friendly, hands-on crew and a compact, well-equipped dock that handles mid-sized ships with ease, minimizing wait times and maximizing time ashore. Onboard services curated for this destination include pre-arranged, sustainably minded excursions, expert naturalist guides, and theme-inspired itineraries that pair island cuisine with live music, as well as quiet spa coves and refreshed dining venues ready to greet guests after a day of discovery. All of this converges to set Port Inagua apart as a memorable, authentic Bahamian gateway.
