GREAT FOR A GROUP OF EIGHT! - My family and I did this excursion. We had such a BLAST! Snorkeling was absolutely beautiful. The two gentlemen that guided us were so friendly, kind. and very patient (with our young ones). The kids had so much fun on the stationer pad and kayaking. The food was tasty and good portion was served.
Because our kids were having so much fun that we lost track of time and we missed our boat by a couple of minutes. The boat turned back to get us and the staff was so kind and understanding.
Our trip to the BAHAMAS was GREAT and we can’t wait to come back!!!! Cheers to the BAHAMIANS!!!

Snorkling with the family - This was a great island to visit. The beach was wonderful and quiet, and the snorkeling was great. MJ was a great guide and patient with my small children. This was my first time snorkeling, and it was wonderful. The ocean water was very clear and clean. The lunch was good, and Lynn was a great host.

Great trip! - We don’t know why some of the reviews are negative, because we had a great experience. The tour guides were courteous and gave clear instructions. We received our snorkeling time when we checked in and knew exactly where to go once we arrived at the island. The snorkeling experience was amazing and 30 minutes was plenty of time for us. Lunch was delicious. There was plenty of shade and places to swim in the water. The boat to take us back was on time. Overall a very good experience. We can certainly recommend this trip.

Snorkeling Adventure - This was a fun snorkeling experience. They do give you instructions and a life vest before getting in the water. Plenty of adult drinks 🍸, do see many marine life.

Fun experience - Overall, I was pleased with the experience. Pearl Island is small but even with other tour groups there it never felt crowded since it's long and we could spread out. The staff we encountered were all friendly. My only mild complaint is that the 30min of snorkeling time wasn't enough. I know they had small groups take turns but even a little longer of a time window would have been nice. My youngest daughter struggled with the mask (too loose, then too tight) and a guide did try to help her but it felt like she no sooner got it sorted and they told us we only had 5min left. I got to see a stingray in the wild so that was awesome! Some parts of the island seemed a little run down like the "pool" and the iguana area. The lunch they served was pretty good, and the views by the lighthouse were beautiful.

Good value for 1/2 day... - Good value for 1/2 day excursion. Check in is DIRECTLY AT THE BACK (waterside) of Margaritaville RESTAURANT on Paradise Island — not the hotel and not the Ferry dock. Food was average. Beach and lounging areas were nice. Snorkeling was very good but could have been longer. Staff was attentive and helpful. Recommend this for those looking to venture away from Nassau

Had fun but not worth the price - Decent experience. Food was Golden Coral level. Snorkeling was nice. The private beach wasn’t so private as there were multiple boats worth of people on the island. The facilities on the island were in very rough shape. There are likely many other excursions that are a better bang for your buck.

Snorkeling with lunch - Told to meet at the pier for return at 3pm. Boat was there waiting but left to go to another island to pick up passengers and returned to drop them off. We boarded at3:3pm. Had to stand waiting in Hot sun for 30 min without explanation. I had to ask why. Could have had 30 minutes to relax on the beach. They obviously knew it was going to be 30 min later. Everything else was wonderful and would have been 5 stars.

A Lot of Waiting, Very Little Snorkeling - Even though this says it’s a Pearl Island snorkeling trip, there is very little snorkeling. We were dropped off at the island around 11:30 am with no information on an itinerary, only to find out that we could have lunch at 12:30 and snorkel at 1:30. So, it was a LOT of sitting around, which we could have done at our hotel’s beach. The snorkeling was amazing, but was only for about 30 minutes, then more sitting around until the boat got us as 3:15. Not worth the price for the little amount of snorkeling we got to do.
