Just us & the turtles! - Our private boat to swim with the turtles was amazing! We went on a nice, quiet 30 minute boat trip out to a beautiful, secluded island. Bright, turquoise water and white sand. We swam, freely for about 2 hours. We saw 3 turtles, 2 of which stayed right next to us the whole time. I’ve been swimming with turtles all over the world and this was the most relaxing and enjoyable time I’ve had. The guys were also very nice and friendly. See you next time!

Amazing experience, crew was great! - Great experience and exactly what was advertised. Boat was clean, comfortable, and spacious, and it was a smooth journey. The captains knew the areas well and helped to spot the turtle in the water during the snorkeling experience. They also dropped us off at a dock closer to our resort to avoid having to walk back ourselves. 5-star end-to-end experience!

Great experience! - I took my daughter to snorkel and see the sea turtles as that's what she wanted for her birthday. It was a great experience! Both gentlemen were kind and helpful with gearing up. They stopped the boat and pointed out the turtles prior to jumping off the boat. Even once we were in the water, they pointed out where they were. My daughter was really happy with this experience and it was a much more affordable experience than booking with the cruise line.

I liked it a lot - It was so much fun! The only downfall is I wished the whole experience was longer. An hour isn’t enough time to explore. It says it’s a two hour excursions but the traveling already takes up the hour and the other hour is the excursion which sucked a lot. We felt rushed a little bit. I would recommend to add that the other hour is travel time and NOT included with the excursion experience

Wonderful experience - Excellent trip with Captain Keith and Captain Omar! We enjoyed our snorkel session and saw at least 5 adult turtles as well as tons of stunning fish on the nearby reef. I recommend this for anyone wanting a great snorkel experience and wanting to get out of central Nassau.

We got to swim with... - We got to swim with around 6 turtles! The captain was great at pointing out where the turtles are to us. The boat ride was pretty rough. Id recommend gravol for some people.

Perfect Day - Captain Keith and First Mate. Omar were very welcoming and friendly. What was nice is that we were the only ones on the excursion. I was with my son and husband. Weather was fantastic. Although we only swam with a few turtles, we did see a huge variety of beautiful fish and even a 6 ft Nurse shark. When snorkeling, it's always better to go with a small group, as opposed to a large group, like on a cruise shore excursion. Too many people in the water spook the wildlife. The walk was about a 15 minute walk to a gas station, where there is a side gate to the marina. Their boat is called, "Bluefin".

Not the best experience - Sooo we book a snorkeling excursion with them like a month in advance, got on our cruise and one day before they email us that that time wont work for them (they had that option in their website) obviously we were on vacation and did not check out email! So they did not show up and we wasted like 3 hours of our day in Nassau looking for the meet up place and while we waited for them. They did refund us after the trip but we did not got to do anything that day.

Cancelled excursion and e we didn’t know - They cancelled the day before and sent an email. We didn’t receive the email because we were on a cruise ship where there was no cell service or decent wifi. We walked about a mile, looking for the boat. There was no signage, no one near the address had any idea who they were and we wandered around for a long time until we found a person who said she’d seen the boat parked at a certain dock on previous days. That’s when I turned off airplane mode on my phone (which cost a small fortune) so I could get texts and email. We were so disappointed to find our tour had been cancelled. By that time, it was too late to book a different excursion. Our day at Nassau was wasted. So, some words of caution…had we booked through the cruise line, we would have known via the ship’s wifi that the excursion was cancelled in time to choose something else. Consider paying extra to ensure you have the experience you want. The second thing I would do is make arrangements with my phone carrier for a daily international phone plan.
