Worth It! - Exuma was the highlight of our week long trip to the Bahamas. The views are absolutely stunning. Captain Rico and Captain LJ were great. It was easy to see their love for their beautiful country, and they shared so much knowledge (and jokes). Swimming with the nurse sharks was hands down my favorite. The feeding of iguanas and pigs were cool too, but the sharks are where it's at! Be mindful of the pigs, they do get a bit nippy if they know food is around. I love that each pig had their own name. Lunch was delicious. We ended our trip at a sandbar and it was breathtaking, clearest water we saw our entire trip. It was roughly a 180 mile round trip boat ride, so be prepared, but it is more than worth it.

Take me back - We had the best time with Shay & Ashton on our day excursion to Exuma. The swimming with the sharks was such an unexpected amazing experience. The pigs were great and the sandbars were out of this world The bluest clearest water we’ve ever seen

Captain Rico Swave, Neal... - Captain Rico Swave, Neal and xxx were the BEST crew. All 6 women in our group had a fabulous time. The lunch was very good as was the lunch spot. Music on the boat was spot on which was perfect since we spent a lot of time on it traveling from one great spot to the next.

Exuma Day Trip - Aqua Shores came through! What an awesome last day to our vacation! It was sad to have to leave the Bahamas but our captains showed us why will we will for sure to return! Captain LJ, Captain Neal, and Captain Rico made our excursion adventure such a great experience! The nurse shark swim was absolutely, the best! Not taking anything away from the pig swim, snorkeling over Pablo Escobar's sunken plane, feeding the iguanas, and having our quiet time on the private sandbar... We will definitely return. And again, THANK YOU Aqua Shores and Captains; LJ, Rico, and Neal!

GREAT EXPERIENCE! - It was a great experience! Loved swimming with the pigs and the nurse sharks. Beautiful white sand and clear waters beaches! Only one suggestion: if you are sensitive to motion consider days with slow wind, as it can turn into a bumpy ride.

Honestly, one of the best experiences we have ever done. Absolutely amazing! - My daughter and I had the most amazing and wonderful time on this excursion. It was on our bucket list and we were so happy and excited that we got to tick it off! Everything, I mean, everything, was absolutely perfect. The weather, the unbelievable waters, that we have never seen before in our lives, the tour guides and their professional and funny dispositions. Seeing the iguanas, the sharks, Escobar’s plane, islands owned by celebrities , lovely lunch and then of course, the pigs! I could clearly see that not only my daughter and I were having a wonderful time but everyone else was too. This company is amazing and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you for an amazing time and the memories!

Awesome Experience ✨ - The Exuma excursion was absolutely amazing! Everything was well-organized and on time, making the whole day smooth and stress-free. Even with some weather, Captain Milio (amazing captain) did his best to navigate around it and keep the trip enjoyable. The crew Cam/Guelly also went above and beyond to make the experience fun, safe, and memorable. Highly recommend!

​Exumas Trip: A Beautiful Destination, an Average Tour - The Exumas are, without a doubt, a truly fabulous and must-see destination. However, the boat tour itself left a lot to be desired. ​While the boat was fast, there was nothing luxurious about the vessel or the trip. I was squeezed between two men, which made the space quite uncomfortable. The crew offered drinks constantly, but the only snacks served during the entire trip was a small bag of chips, which was disappointing. ​Despite the issues with the tour, the beauty of the destination made the trip worthwhile. My overall experience was just average, but I would still highly recommend visiting the Exumas. My suggestion is to spend a bit more and do it privately.
