Powerboat Exuma day trip from Nassau for swimming pigs, nurse sharks, iguanas, a plane wreck snorkel, and local lunch.
“The variety of stops kept things interesting and the crystal clear waters the boat traveled through were amazing to look at. The only issue people should be aware of is that Exuma is a long boat ride away so while they do a good job to break up the stops, there’s a solid 4 hours of time on the boat which we personally found relaxing. This is not a trip focused on traditional snorkeling.”

Full-day powerboat ride from Nassau to Allen’s Cay and private Ship Channel Cay for iguanas, snorkeling, conch salad, lunch, and an open bar.
“Fantastic! Incredible! A day we will never forget. Beautiful isolated island, great food and drinks. Sharks, stingrays and many beautiful fish. Make sure you are a good swimmer as the current in the channel that you will snorkel in is fairly strong and swift. The powerboat was a fantastic way to travel. Kudos to our hosts who took great care of other customers who were a bit irresponsible with their drinking. A great time. We would do it again if we are ever in Nassau!”

“They literally text me the evening before the excursion saying “your tour has been cancelled seats are all sold out”. They offered another excursion or full refund. I asked for the full refund, at which point they said they will let the head office know. Not only was this extremely disruptive, two weeks later and there has been no refund.”
Nassau to Exuma by 60ft powerboat for pigs, iguanas, stingrays, shark feeding, and a private island with open bar.
“Only issue was we were told to arrive at 8.00 am 1/2 before check-in had to wait until 9.15 to leave. There were people arriving right up to when we left. Other than that the experience was 5* the fast speed boat, the interaction with the iguanas, pigs, sting rays and sharks was unbelievable! They private island and hospitality was again exemplary ! The buffet food was really good with plenty of choice. Would definitely recommend”
