Discover Columbus Isle

The beaches in the Bahamas are bathed by the warm, rousing Caribbean trade winds. Gently caressing the water, they stir up the usually-calm sea, and at times like these, you can go kitesurfing. Attach your harness and climb on your board... When you're stable, let the wind propel you forward. Go kitesurfing around Snow Bay and explore the wonders of the Bahamas while enjoying some thrills.
