We Can’t Believe We Did This! Gemstone Cave, Bats & an Abandoned Island

Gemstone Cave Exumas | Bahamas cave adventure, bats, abandoned island, Great Guana Cay, reef swim, Nordhavn 55 boat life. We hike to Oven Rock Cave, swim inside its eerie limestone chambers, then explore a hurricane-damaged abandoned island in the Exumas. and just when we thought the day had peaked, we ended up exploring an eerie abandoned island property that was completely frozen in time. Join us on a memorable hike to Oven Rock Cave, also known as Gemstone Cave, on Great Guana Cay. This adventure travel video captures our journey through lush island foliage and the cave's interior, offering some serious hiking inspiration. We explore with our dive torches (underwater flashlights) and swam in the dark beneath bats, stalactites, and massive limestone formations. Just when we thought the week had peaked, we ended up exploring an eerie abandoned island property that was completely frozen in time to add to this epic travel vlog. If you’re into Exumas adventures, Bahamas boat life, hidden caves, snorkeling, reef swims, and off-the-beaten-path island exploring, this one has all the good stuff: a jungle-style hike, cave geology, spooky cave water, bats overhead, reef life, and plenty of “well... this got weird fast” energy. We’re Jenn and Dave, an empty-nest Colorado couple who swapped snow boots for scuba fins and now call our Nordhavn 55 home. Thanks for being here, and welcome aboard Explorado.
