True experience of all the islands also cruising with a good crew and best music - Amazing captain and his copilot very safe knew exactly what they were doing.
Felt like you were out with friends rather than just a charter
Word of the wise do not go out when it’s very windy and choppy. It was extremely rough.
We are from Vancouver British Columbia and we felt cold
They were very personal brought us to all the little islands, including Johnny Depp, and we swam with the pigs and checked out iguana Island even went to some private beaches
Be prepared this is a long tour. Make sure you are not hung over.! lol
PS they had killer music going the whole time the best vibes
We will be back, probably do the snorkeling adventure next.

Highlight of Our Vacation - Our family of five had a fabulous time on the excursion to the Exuma Cays. We saw everything advertised - the iguanas, sharks, pigs, plane wreckage and sand bar. Here are the few tips I wish I’d known:
You’re traveling really far, so this is definitely not a leisurely boat ride. From the second the tour departs, the speed boat travels as quickly as possible. Even on a still day, it was very windy, loud, and chilly. Bring a layer, and think seriously whether this is the right fit for young kids or anyone with health limitations.
The boat was great and very well-suited for the trip. Families and groups were seated together. There was a cover from the sun. The cushioned seats were very comfortable for the long ride.
Drinks and snacks were offered constantly throughout the trip, and they played fun music.
Each stop was incredible. We each had a different favorite. Lunch was great, too. At a small yacht club on a cay. The fish and conch sandwiches were excellent. Again due to the distance, the stops aren’t very long - there just isn’t time for sunbathing. But we all loved the trip (parents and kids ages 11 and 7), and were super glad we did it. The islands and wildlife were spectacular.
It would be great for the tour company to also offer a more leisurely tour to one or two closer cays. We would have booked a second trip with them in a heartbeat!
Thanks for a great day!

Fun Filled All Day adventure! - Communication was excellent when I had to change dates. Don’t make the same mistake as I did and show up at the MARGARITAVILLE HOTEL looking for the Aguashore check in. It’s actually next to the Margaritaville RESTAURANT which is nowhere near the Margaritaville hotel. We were able to jump in a taxi and speed down there and luckily made it in time! The speed boat we got had a maximum of 16 which I liked that it wasn’t too packed. I thought the amount of time at each stop was perfect. They made sure everyone got there photo op! We had chips to snack on and unlimited beverages on the boat. I was not too impressed with the lunch at Staniel Cay. Service was very slow. Other than that, we had a great time! It was definitely worth it! Also, the music playlist was very good!

Perfect day in the Bahamas! - Such an exhilarating way to spend a day in the Bahamas!!! We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and loved our crew! Captain Rico was exceptional and his crew, lead by LJ was wonderful. Perfect combination of professional and fun! The boat was so fun, but a little warning that if there is any wind, the boat pounds along the water, so prepare for that. The iguanas, sharks and of course, the pigs were so fun and such a great experience!

Excellent way to tour Exuma - This was an excellent way to tour through the Exuma Cays. We signed up originally for the swimming pigs and thoroughly enjoyed the boat ride through the cays as well as the iguanas and sharks. The lunch stop on Staniel Cay was really nice as well. Make sure to plan early in your trip as weather can impact departure day. Luckily we had a beautiful day! Thank you to our crew!

Great time - Incredibly worthwhile, the highlight of our trip. You get to see a really wide array of stuff in the course of a day, and even the boat ride from destination to destination is pleasant with plenty to see. Highly recommended.
