Tips for Visiting Plana Cays

  • Plana Cays are remote and reachable only by private boat or charter from nearby islands (Acklins/Crooked Island)-plan logistics with a local skipper and check sea conditions.
  • There are no visitor facilities or formal landing sites-landings can be exposed and uneven, so coordinate with an experienced crew and avoid making unsupervised landings.
  • These cays host sensitive habitats-respect wildlife, avoid overnight stays without permission, and confirm any access requirements with local authorities or charter operators before visiting.
