Don’t waste more time waiting for people! Book private boat now! - This was fantastic to have a boat to ourselves!! Five total in our group which meant we did not have to wait for others to get in or out of the boat. We were able to get to many islands. Our captain (Lawren) was fantastic, had great people skills! He threw in some history of Bahamas for specifics spots/ islands. He helped spot and turn up sea turtles so we could see them surface. He was willing to do what we wanted and he was patient. Posed with Tyson for a CBpic and help a piglet, loved that!! Last part for 30 mins we relaxed at a private beach all by ourselves before heading back to shore. We had the same driver (Janell) on the way back as we did to get there. On the way to the dock captain Lawren checked the status of our ride to make sure she would be there. He waited with us until Janell got there too. Janell was quiet but nice, got us there and back safe. A great experience overall and worth it for a small group!!

Best Excursion! 10/10 - Captain Dillon (Ramsey) was so friendly, fun and knowledgeable! This private tour with my family was better than what I imagined could would be. The amount of time we had each stop was great and left up to us how long we wanted to spend doing it. If we go back to the Bahamas, I would definitely be looking for Captain Dillon again!

No Brainer - Well Worth It! - Captain Ramsey is the kind of local, confident, experienced person you want to deliver a private, customized experience. While we did an early morning trip and were off to a slow start, he was patient, helped us crank up our excitement, and gave us incredible local information that made the ride out to our stops feel like a bonus experience. Skilled on the boat (my wife especially can get motion sickness) it was a smooth ride. We did the pigs, knew exactly where to find sea turtles, and had private, curated experiences snorkeling, hanging out at a gorgeous private beach and seeing peacocks at a ruined house. Accommodating and ready for anything, Captain Ramsey had ample drinks and let us jam out on the boat during a long ride back to shore that was beautiful after a long and fun day on the water. Get away from the tourist traps and do something like this that has a private feel where you can steer the day in your direction based on what you like. No one is making you pull up stakes early to stay on schedule if you want a little extra time to snorkel or hang at the beach for example. Book with confidence, we had a great time and would do it again!

Definitely WILL do again! - Captain Dylan was great! The snorkeling place was fantastic and full of fish! The area we went to for snacks and drinks had a great little beach area with pristine water, & hardly anyone was there. The drinks and snacks were pricey, but the view made it worth it! “Swimming with pigs” was a bust, but we asked for it lol. Swimming with turtles with an unbelievable experience.

Great Family Adventure! - I have never not booked through the cruise line but I am not sure I will ever do it again after using Viator. We had the best time and got to do so many activities for almost the price of going through the cruise line. Our captain avoided the rain best to his ability. He had snacks and sodas for the kids and rum punch for the adults. We had the best day. We swam with pigs, sea turtles, snorkeled, and had our own private beach!

Favorite excursion of trip - Captain McKinney (Sam) was so nice and flexible. We decided to skip swimming with the pigs so we could spend more time snorkeling and on the beach. At the turtle stop we did see several and the two grandsons were able to jump in and get close to one. The beach was wonderful. It had the softest and cleanest sand we've seen in many beach stops. We chose to have them set up the transfer from the ship to the boat as opposed to getting a taxi for peace of mind as there were 5 ships in that day. It was efficient, but pretty pricey, at $135, for two 2 mile rides.

Private boat tour. 4 hours - My family of four enjoyed a wonderful day out on the water with Captain Dillon. He let us basically plan out our day. We decided against going to see pigs because we already have done that before! Capt Dillon was very knowledgeable about the area and the different islands! He was great with our kids, had snacks and drinks! We tried to see the turtles but after looking we couldn’t spot any! We did lots of snorkeling, and went to Rose Island we where the only people around it was like our own island, sand was so white, lots of fish! It was absolutely amazing day! Thank you Captain Dillon Blast242.com

Fun family day experience - This was by far the best day for our family in Nassau. Captain McKinney is the best guide. One of our kids did not want to swim with pigs so he adjusted the trip a bit giving us more time to swim with turtles and snorkeling. The kids loved playing in sand and waves in a secluded cove (better than any beach we have seen). Snorkeling was perfect, way better than big boat experience since it was less congested. All in all the best 4 hour tour we have experienced. Captain McKinney, thank you for a fabulous day! The kids keep raving about it!

Beautiful Bahamas - This is a unique way to see the Bahamas by boat. Our captain was late and that was not communicated, so we were worried at first. However, he showed up, we enjoyed the boat ride. We didn't get to see the turtles due to winds, we did see the pigs. It was an additional charge and the pigs were raised there in pens, which was different than I imagined, but we loved holding the baby pigs and taking pictures. This is a better option for me than a crowded Tour. Our family was alone on the boat, which was very nice.

Worth every bit of the cost! - We really enjoyed having a boat to ourselves. The captain took us to a snorkeling spot and to swim with the pigs. We got to feed and hold the pigs. It was a private spot with only a few people there. No long lines like you read about with other places. The captain had a speaker that allowed us to play our own music and he also provided drinks and rum punch which our older kids enjoyed. While the price of a private boat was a little higher than a large group excursion, what we got to do and see and the fact we got to leave when we wanted made this well worth every penny.
