Highly recommend for a fantastic time - This was an excellent tour. Everything from pick up to drop off was great. Captain Dillon was friendly, knowledgeable and made our tour so enjoyable. We have been on dozens of cruises and excursions, and this was everyone’s favorite.

Great day on the water! - Capt Ramsey was great! Excellent communication from start to finish. He knew about local landmarks and history which was great to learn about. There weren't many turtles around, but he did manage to find 1! The pigs were great, we had them to ourselves for the time we visited with them. Snorkeling was the best part, and he knew how to bring the fish in close to us for an awesome experience.

Great experience !! - This was a great experience. We loaded up 4 adults and 4 kids on time. First stop was the pigs. The man that ran that was very professional, it was $25 a person extra but our captain told us this and its on there website a hand of time. Then we went snorkeling saw beautiful fish, went to another spot and saw turtles. The last stop was rose beach, the water was perfect. We all loved all the events and the kids loved the chips, and the parents loved the punch that was included. Over all this was a great trip. We set up transportation though them and the lady was great, on time and very clean car.

Great private adventure! - We had a great time from start to finish. Captain Lawren was great, very courteous and professional. We would definitely book with this group again and request Captain Lawren. We got to do all the things we signed up for. Swim with pigs, snorkeling where we saw tons of fish and sea turtles. We loved exploring Rose island and even saw some hidden peacocks! Zero complaints!

Perfect for the whole family, even younger kids! - This experience was one to remember! It was the only excursion I could find in the Bahamas (outside of Atlantis) that would accommodate my two younger children ages 4 and 5. I love that my children got to enjoy the fun! Captain Mckenny was awesome, he was really fun while still prioritizing safety and was very knowledgeable. We saw PLENTY of turtles, I was so overwhelmed with excitement during this excursion… I love turtles! And they were so beautiful. I would totally do this excursion again.

Private Boat - Great experience but engine issues affected our plans! - We signed up to swim with the pigs, turtles and snorkeling and loved that we would have the convience of a private boat. The trip started off great but as we were passing Pearl Island (where most of the snorkelers were from our cruise ship) the captain said he was taking us to Rainbow Reef which was a lot better than the snorkeling by Pearl Island. He told us how beautiful the fish were there compared to Pearl Island. About 15 minutes later he handed us his cell phone and told us his boss wanted to speak to us. We found out that our boat was having engine trouble and that they couldn't use our boat anymore. They offered to take us out the following day but we were on a cruise and only in Nassau for one day. Our captain tried to make the best of it and ended up taking us back to Pearl Isalnd for snorkeling as we waited the 45 minutes for a new boat to switch to. The snorkeling was ok - lots of fish but not a lot of diversity. It also wasted a lot of time passing Pearl Island and having to then go back in a boat that was obviously moving slow. My husband has experience with boats and even he knew that something was wrong with the engine. On our new boat - we then went to the island where the turtles were and after that we were told that the boat was going back and our 4 hours was up. I asked to go to Rainbow Reef (it was on the way back) and was told again our time was up. My kids started to beg the captain to stop there and I told him he had told my children we were going there and it wasn't our fault that the boat had engine issues! The captain made a few text messages and then said that we could stop for 10 minutes. The snorkeling there was AMAZING and I am so happy we could stop there although we felt very rushed. The boat brought us back to the dock and we were there exactly at 5:30 PM (our end time) so it really wasn't too much to have to make the stop at Rainbow Reef. I know our story is unusual as the boats don't always have engine trouble but we spent a lot of money for the private boat and felt the experience was not what we hoped. There were no apolgies about the engine issues or anything. I never even asked about getting money back because we still had the private boat experience - I just wish they could have accomodated and given us a little more time to compensate for the time we lost waiting on the new boat.

Do not book with this company - Do not book with this tour group if you want confidence you’ll actually go! I booked a full day boat charter for 3 families months before our trip. Received confirmation email with the boat I selected. 2 days before our trip I received an email from Captain Kennedy that we would be on Blast VI and not Blast VII, which are two completely different boats. I responded right away saying I didn’t book VI and we want the boat I booked. Then nothing, no response to my emails, phone calls or messages via Facebook messenger. Thank God the Atlantis recommended a company that was available and we used them. Very disappointed in this company and how they handle business.
