Bahamas islands knows for many special things .. like statue under water ... Swim with pigs. One of the best place in world .. a dream place
Truly a special place, and so fortunate that they're so "close" to home (relatively speaking)!
My Beautiful Long Island Bahamas
One of the most beautiful islands I’ve ever visited … and keeps on calling me back for more !!!
The color of that water never gets old. Very beautiful and peaceful footage!
Explorcation thank you! And I wholeheartedly agree...that water color just never gets old!! These videos are great to put together because they give me a chance to use a bit more of my drone footage :)
@@WhatMyLensSees and youve got some great drone footage!!
Can't believe how many blues are in those waters, thanks for the video proof guys
it really does feel like you're on a different planet! thanks much for the comment and channel support - dan
This is awesome footage! Thank you so much for documenting the beauty of Long Island!
Really appreciate that Donovan! Feel like I barely scratched the surface and hoping I can get back there again this year to see lots more. Such a special little island that seems lost in time (which is just the way I like it ;))!! Thanks again! dan
С приближением холодов это видео смотрится особенно впечатляюще
I really need to visit the Bahama, its so beautiful. Nice aerial shots, the water is so blue I just want to jump in it!
Can’t go wrong with a visit to the Bahamas! Just make sure you pencil in some time for the out Islands because they are really something!!
This video inspired me to go there. Most beautiful thing I've ever seen this side of heaven.
Wow, that’s so great to hear. Definitely a very very special place
@@WhatMyLensSees The water next to the island with the iguanas and the sandbar is the most beautiful place. I asked Delbert is next time I visit we can cruise around the Examus and he is down. I wonder if the boat is big enough for a longer trip.
Still can’t believe we got to visit here. Looks like another planet (and a beautiful one at that)!
Oneea Wheeler definitely. Surreal experience
Any good places to stay on this island?
@@ValentinaMitchell1 Cape Santa Maria beach resort 💙
@@WhatMyLensSees thank you, I’m looking at it now. I’ve been searching in the Exumas for sometime so I can’t wait to go!
The GM of Cape Santa Maria is one of the best guys on the planet. If you book with CSM, tell Matt hi for me ;)
What extraordinary drone shots! You really did an excellent job capturing the beauty of the Bahamas. I am in awe!
Really appreciate that Will! It’s funny, I typically make short 2-3 minute videos for the places we travel to and resorts we stay at. But I take so much drone footage that 99% of my videos were going unused. So I came up with this “aerial ambience” series so that I could get a little bit more out there...and they’ve turned out to be some of my most watched videos!! I also think RUclips algorithm prefers them because they’re longer (typically 8-12 minutes)
i just found out this island existed yesterday and now im determined to go here in the next 3 years lmao
Yes, Jack. You are right in your thinking 😉 It's like a different planet on Long Island (in the best way possible). You won't regret it!
Awesome
Lovely! Beautiful Island and people. My favorite💙💙💙
Thank you Sandra! I 💯 agree with you. Such a special island that we hope to visit many more times in the future. Really appreciate your comment and channel support!! dan
Soooo these views are BREATHTAKING!!! Breathtaking! And you recorded this so nicely as I felt relaxed as if I was there!
Thank you Kita 💙
💙👏🇧🇸 wow 😮 next time we bring my drone too 😉
Awesomeness 5603 deal. You’ll be crushing it in no time!
So beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
it really looks a paradise.... the scenery and the sound is soothing.. would love to go to that place :D
Really appreciate you stopping by. It’s such a beautiful island that somehow still remains under the radar. Very worth a visit before the secret gets out!!
Start the video with kind of images ... no human in the water ... woahhh it was at what time of the year?
Incredible images ... thank you for this beautiful sharing.
Thanks very much Marco! This is pretty much how it looks in Long Island Bahamas. This is a place that somehow remains under the radar and I can’t really understand why. It is more difficult to get to, but the payoff is so worth it! For reference, We were there in late June when this was shot. Having spent the summer of ‘17 and ‘18 at coastal towns and beach in Europe, this emptiness of the out island Bahamas was a very welcome change ;)
I cant wait to go back i go hear every year i hope we can
Same here Kennedy. Same here ....
Awesome footage. So serene!
Thanks Amanda 😊
Paradise ❤️
100% agree withy your assessment. Thanks very much for the comment!
Another great video! It is so beautiful :)
I'm 100% addicted to those Bahamas blues :) Thank you as always for stopping by and gonna head over to your channel here soon! Take care, dan
Paradise
Indeed
Stunning scenery, never get tired of seeing your vids! Wish we had some decent weather in the UK to get my drone out! 😃
thanks to you both! Yeah, that's the trouble with drones....they really don't like rain :) I've flown mine in some dicey conditions before and somehow managed to keep it all in one piece. Here's to hoping the weather clears up soon and you can get up there! Look forward to stopping by your channel here soon to check out all your latest goodness!! Thanks as always, dan
@@WhatMyLensSees got a long weekend coming up and so far the weather forecast is looking decent, fingers crossed 🤞
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you for the kind words. Long Island is just otherworldly kind of beautiful!! Glad you enjoyed!
beautiful! love the video and the channel...new sub and clicked the bell!
Cruze's Louisiana Outdoors wow thank you so much! Been working hard to put out some quality content and so happy you found my channel! Will be sure to check out yours here soon! Thanks again, dan
Congratulations for your national holiday on 10th July Bahamas from your friends in Germany
Thank you so much!!
Just wow. You must have a great drone. What do you use? What do you recommend? I loved the advice from your Nikon accessories vid. BTW, the music at 4 min sounds a little like Stranger Things!
Oh you just made my day! I wanted that second song to sound a bit out of this world because I honestly felt like the footage looked like you were on a different planet! So I was going for that exact feel and makes me very happy you actually noticed that 👍 as for your drone question, I have a DJI phantom 4 pro plus. It’s a nice bit of tech for sure. I also have lots of little bits of gear for it so that I can capture colors better. It’s really added a whole new element to my videos and loving having it in the camera bag (although my bag is getting a tad full!!!) thank you again for such kind commente
@@WhatMyLensSees Mission accomplished!
Amazing a sightseeing !!!
Thank you Ronaldo. It is truly a spectacular island!
Wow
Thanks! Beautiful island!
Was there in July 2020 before the lockdown. It was absolutely stunning and like nowhere we had ever been. Can’t wait to go back.
D F hoping things return back to normal so that we can get back there too. Such a special place . Loved the people, the island, the scenery and the water. Just perfect and crazy how close it is to the USA, but still such a rarely visited island!! Thanks for your comment and channel support!
Very nice!
Much appreciated Chris 😊
Great song choice beautiful aerial views. I would love to see a video in Croatia I’m bias because I’m from there.
Thank you! and totally agree, song selection is so key when making videos! Didn't know you were from Croatia. We spent much of last Summer in Croatia and really enjoyed it. Took a bit of drone footage, but there's a lot of red tape to fly there so didn't get nearly as much as I would've liked! Heading over to your channel here soon to see all the goodness you've been up to lately :) Thanks for dropping by, dan
Stop making me want to buy a drone! 😂 Another beautiful video, I particularly loved at around 4 minutes in where you could see the tiny specs of people amid the giant expanse of blue.... stunning!
Yeah that shot kinda blew my mind as I was filming it. I tried to find some music that matched my mood/thoughts...which was almost sort of “I’m on another planet right now” because it was so jaw dropping!! Oh and I fully understand the drone conundrum:) I went through 2 years of back and forth before I finally decided to move forward with it. And very glad i did! Thanks for dropping by, dan
Wow wish I could be there
Lol 😂 me too! Trying to plot my return as soon as possible! Thanks for dropping by!
3:35 .....I don't have to the words to describe how beautiful that is
Yep, you pretty much nailed it. That sand bar is unlike any I’ve ever seen before. We went out on 2 boats and just had an absolute blast. Lots of good food and drinks, and great company ... and the scenery wasn’t too bad either 😉
Wow. Love the Exumas
💯 agreed. Hard not to love the Exumas!! Hoping to get back there in 2021 🤞 appreciate the comment and channel support! Dan
Ive visited the bahamas 18 times and 100s of beaches but the water at Santa maria was different....its reminded me of lighthouse beach in eleuthera/ that water was like that too...amazing
100% agree. something about the water at the Cape that makes it that much better. appreciate you dropping by!
This footage is incredible man, I’ll think I’ll be booking a trip here thanks to this video. I’ve only just discovered your channel but I look forward to catching up on your videos. Andy :)
Andy, seriously appreciate that. That’s honestly the best comment I can ever receive when someone tells me they want to visit a place because of one of my photos or videos. Long Island is just spectacular, and the Bahamas could use a lot of love and support right now. I’m very thankful that LI was spared from Dorian. If you go, I suggest staying at Cape Santa Maria Resort on the Northern end of the island. I made a video from there too that hopefully you can check out. Will give you a better idea of the property and more importantly, their beach, which is one of the finest I’ve ever been to!
Yes I’m going to check out all your videos. Keep up the good work. I would like to see your photos if you have Instagram. Thanks again for sharing dude.
For sure Andy, you can find me on insta at What_My_Lens_Sees
Absolutely STUNNING! Some of the views (especially from 4:30 onwards) make me feel like I'm floating above the clouds in a fairytale world rather than at sea. What an incredible milky blue colour that sea is!! And looks like not many people as well? Is it always like that?!
This location/island is completely under the radar. It’s one extra flight further for most Americans, and because of that, it sees far far less visitors. So, for now, this is what is like....beauty everywhere you look and very few people. It’s incredible and getting harder and harder to find places like this anymore. Thanks as always for dropping by!! dan
@@WhatMyLensSees My pleasure!! Thanks for bringing this piece of art to us. This is what I'm doing with my travels nowadays... always going to destinations that is one flight / train / bus ride / hike further than is 'convenient'. And what a world of wonder awaits. When I'm ready for a tropical island adventure - this is top of my list!
@@WhatMyLensSeesd love to visit here, what's a good way to get there from Miami? For that same island so you need a boat that takes you there? What are good ways to find them?
That's just not fair for them to hoard all that beauty.😂👍💯
No kidding right??? 😂😂😂 the place is absolutely insane. Felt like we were on another planet!!
stunning beauty
definitely a special place ... and even more beautiful in person! thank you for the kind words, dan
El lugar más bonito que he conocido
¡Eso es 100% hecho! Es un lugar increíble que de alguna manera se las arregla para mantenerse por debajo del radar del turismo masivo. Especial en todos los sentidos y espero poder volver algún día. ¡Muchas gracias por el comentario y el canal de apoyo mi amigo! dan
Flew an airplane to stella maris and went to Cape Santa Maria. Fun to see videos of that place. Cameras don’t do it justice
agreed, has to be seen with your own 2 eyes to truly appreciate! Next time we visit, I'm definitely doing the Stella Maris airport. Heard very good things and much better than Bahamas Air ;) Thanks for the comment!
wow beautiful!! What month of the year did you recorded this one??
Do you use the Mavic Pro 2? I ask because you linked it in the desc but then use 'dji phantom 4' as a tag for the video ;) whatever you use, the quality is amazing! Which lens filter did you use in such bright lighting? I'm still getting to grips with which ND filter to add in different conditions. One thing is for sure, they make such a huge difference to the drone shots! Mine were always way overexposed without them. Was it hard to fly smoothly through the gazebo at 2:27? The water is just insane. No 'dark bits' there so easy swimming :) I used to hate swimming over 'dark bits' hehe. I love the coastline at 6:54!
Oh crap. There might be a link error. Let me look into that and update if so! I definitely use the DJI Phantom 4 plus. So, for mid day sunny day shooting , the ND16 is my go to filter. I can keep that on from basically 9am-3pm and that will cover me well. The gazebo shot took a few tries. You’re the first person to comment on that and tells me you understand well the complexities of flying a drone thru small spaces ;) to do that one, I had to disable all the “safety” sensors and fly it as straight as possible. Was good fun and I think I nailed it on the 4th pass! Also true on the water in the Bahamas. It’s mesmerizing! I could stare at it the rest of my life and never get bored. I get the whole dark bits thing too! While we were there, a shark did attack a young woman a couple islands away. And that was really tough news because she was just snorkeling in a group when the incident occurred. So, as beautiful as those Waters are, there’s still a lot of wildlife and always gotta remember that you’re in the their home. There was a few times my wife and son (and eventually me) got out because the wildlife was a little too close for comfort. Thanks again Ella for such a great comment!
@@WhatMyLensSees That's a coincidence you should say that - I was just discussing this same shark attack with my parents about an hour ago. It's so unfortunate that it happened. You have more chance of being killed by a coconut falling on your head than by a shark. Thanks for taking the time to answer all my questions! I have the Polar Pro filter set for my Phantom and I will be trying out the higher ND's now :)
Well Done, love Long Island.....did our own island video as well. You did a great job...!
No doubt a really special place. Would love to go back someday soon once things hopefully get back to normal. Thanks very much for the kind words and channel support my friend! Dan
Amazing video! Heading to long island for January and will have a boat. Any chance you can tell me how to find the sandbar at the 4:00 mark? I promise ill keep it to myself haha
Oh man, so jealous. Long Island is such a hidden gem. So, I wish I could tell you, but we had a boat take us out there. I can tell you this...it’s closer to the Exumas than Long Island....if you are looking for specifics, I’d suggest calling Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort and asking for Bert. He should be able to give you more info because he knows all that water better than anyone I can think of. Really appreciate the nice comment and channel support and hope you have an awesome trip. If you make any videos, be sure to let me know :) thanks dan
Where is this sandbar
Pleas my friend we’re is this place in Bahamas exactly pleas I fall in love like crazy with video thanks so much for the video
Hi, this is in the Out Islands of the Bahamas on an island called Long Island. It's breathtakingly beautiful and worthy of a visit (to say the least!). Thanks for stopping by my channel!
Incredible footage! Really well done and put together (great music, editing, etc!). I've only been to Long Island once (back in Feb. 2020 right before Covid) but already starting to plan a return visit. What a wonderful place! Question, does anyone know where that sandbar is that starts around 3:00 and runs till about 5:14? Is that Sandy Cay or maybe somewhere more north (near Cape Santa Maria)? Definitely need to check that out next time we go! Thank you for posting this great footage! I hope LI doesn't get swarmed with tourists as a result! ha ha!
Hey there Patrick. Really appreciate that my friend. Long Island is truly a special place. I also want to get back there as soon as things return to normal (or at least normal-ish!). That sandbar is actually closer to Exuma from what I remember. Think it took us about an hour and a half to get over there from the cape by boat. I don’t know the name of it, but you could reach out to the team at Cape Santa Maria and pretty sure they could give you more details. I’m guessing LI is pretty safe from mass tourism at this point given it’s a bit harder to reach. Now, if they ever get a direct flight from Miami, things will change in a hurry. But I selfishly hope that never happens 🤞 again, really appreciate the kind words on the video and hope you get to return there soon enough!!
@@WhatMyLensSees Ahh, that makes sense. I sent your video link to a friend who lives there year round and she thought it was either Sandy Cay or possibly Exuma. I definitely want to check it out next time I'm there! We're already considering going there early next year if we can get up the nerve to risk the travel! :-0. Yeah, we heard something about a direct flight possibly coming in '21 from (I think) Ft. Lauderdale into Deadman's Cay. Yeah, I hope it does happen for our convenience...but hope nobody finds out about it! Ha ha! Keep up the great work!
If you go, please post some video!!! Thanks Patrick
hey,😅 i just discovered your channel and subscribed after I fell in love with this video. do you happen to know the name of the resort/villas shown at about 1:00 minute?
Thank you for the kind words and for subscribing! That is Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort and it is an incredibly special place. I hope you’ll get to visit and see for yourself one day :)
Beautiful! How do I get to a sandbar? I don’t know nothing about boating. I’m going in August but my reason is the sandbars. Any info will help. Which specific sandbar do I go to?
Hello, I love the video. Could you tell me what cameras were used to film it? please
My wife and I spent 10 days at Cape Santamaria. Gorgeous facility with unparalleled service. Do NOT rent a boat so explore these beautiful waters. They have color based on sun and clouds and tide. Sailors rule here. This is a boating nightmare if you have no tools or knowledge. On shore things are cool if you let taxis take you to fun food rum places. Get a tour boat and bypass the hassle of getting grounded in beautiful water. Long Island is a remote escape - no international airport - no hospital - 2 classes, north and south - very cool island experience with very friendly people
Where are these sandbars? I’ve flown my plane many times over Long Island, cape Santa Maria, and Columbus cove. I don’t recall these.
So beautiful 🥰 what's the name of the beach at 1:00 ? Thanks
Hi there, Appreciate you watching and commenting! That beach is the one that Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort sits on. It's absolutely stunning and probably the best beach I visited during my stay in the Bahamas.
Matabo
Long Island is an island in the Bahamas that is split by the Tropic of Cancer. It is one of the Districts of the Bahamas and is known as the most scenic island in the Bahamas.
Where exactly on the island is that strip at min 4:10? I wanna go visit ASAP
That’s a sandbar that is a little closer to exumas than Long Island. But you can easily get there from Cape Santa Maria resort by arranging a boat/day trip with their front desk. Incredible spot and almost guaranteed to have it all to yourself!
What's the price for long island now?
What is the price per night per person for Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort and Villas ?
What is the cheapest price to stay per night around the area depicted in the video ?
What is the price?
You’d have to check their website for
Current prices. Been awhile since I’ve stayed
you can buy land and property here right?
Yep 👍
The eyes almost cannot conceive and believe what they are seeing is real. That the ocean can be so turquoise over such a vast area, not just the beach waters, is almost like an optical illusion that the brain cannot process and the sea and the sky almost merge. Theres your 'usual' clear sea paradise, then there is this on a whole other level. This must be hands down the largest area of bright turquoise sea on the face of planet earth, and the whitest beaches! It certainly appears so from google earth. My question is are those villas or blocks of flats on the beach? And the cost?.... I figured £100 Million each perhaps but if they are whole villas that must be far too cheap. 1 BILLION each perhaps?!!! hahaha
Love your description!! It really is otherworldly, and still blows me away that this location is so close to mainland USA, yet feels like another planet (and relatively low tourism traffic!!!). Thanks again for your comment and support of my channel! dan
I wish you have talked about how to visit th i s island by sail boat. I dont like silent vedeos
When I visit there by sailboat, I'll be sure to make a video as you suggest. Thanks for dropping by!
Do you know where that deep water cave is ???
Hi thanks for watching and commenting! Are you referring to the spot at the 8:00 mark of the video? If so, that’s Deans Blue Hole.
no trees
True, but still very beautiful and considering how close it is to the USA as the crow flies, basically untouched/undiscovered.
Holy sh dude, amazing job! footage and music, makes you want to be there already! Just added this destination and resort just from watching this video.
Many thanks. You won't be disappointed if you visit. Truly amazing little corner of the Earth!

Just tell me you are rich...
