A great private tour - This 4 hour private tour can be flexible (be sure to ask!), and your captain can take you from site to site as you want. We snorkeled on a reef off Rose Island, snorkeled with turtles by Green Cay, visited pristine peacock beach (although we didn’t see any peacocks), fed the swimming pigs (for an extra $25/person), and visited Gilligan’s island. Captain Pedro was great.

Family-friendly experience. - We had a fantastic half-day private tour. We had a group of 3 adults and one child. Captain Pedro was great with our kid! We had the best time snorkeling, swimming with turtles 🐢 and feeding the pigs 🐖 . Highly recommend!

Perfect day 🌴 - Our Private boat ride was absolutely amazing. Really want to write this review to give a shout out to Pedro, our captain. Pedro was the best captain we could have asked for. He brought the vibes and made it a perfect day for the wife and I. 100% ask for Pedro to be your captain! We will be back! “Oh Boy”

Best part of the trip to paradise island by far. - Amazing day! You can’t be in better hands than Captain Perez and Kenny. The captain was exceptional handling the boat and navigating the waters. Kenny was brilliant at pointing out things of interest and safely getting us all in and out of the boat. Rose island was gorgeous. Lunch was good. The day was perfect. The whole time we just kept saying how grateful we were that we didn’t chose some of the other larger tour boats.

AMAZING - Kenny and Perez were amazing! Our families had so much fun! They were knowledgeable, fun, helped watch our SEVEN KIDS (ages 4-12) and SO accommodating! Boat was nice and brought us beer, snacks and drinks for the kids. Perez is a pro at driving and Kenny took such good care of us! I HIGHLY recommend them!

10/10 - The service was unmatched! We learned so much about the different islands the Bahamas had to offer and the views we’re beautiful.

Highly Do Not Recommend - We chose this excursion based on the 5 star rating. We rent private boats every summer in the Caribbean and are very familiar with the process and expectations. It was very windy and rough where we got on at the boat at the boat dock. As soon as we got on the boat, Walter didn't introduce himself, tell us where we were going, explain the boat to us, go over safety items, he literally just started driving. It was a terrible ride, our 5 year old son was scared due to the waves and all the water coming into the boat. This type of boat is not suitable for these types of winds and waves. Water constantly splashes you in the face and your getting jolted up and down. Yes, you cannot conto weather, however, if the water is constantly like this in this area I'm not sure why we would load on the boat in this location. We snorkeled first which was decent but it was so wavy that not enjoyable, then went to a turtle area. When in this area Walter did try and find us turtles. This was probably the most he catered to us on the entire trip. We asked to see the pigs, he took us to a place where you had to pay $30/person and they are caged in the back. There were 5 of us so it was $150. Once again, he didn't tell us anything about the charge. He then took us to a beach area to swim at. Didn't help us in the water, didn't offer any noodles, sat there on his phone the entire time we were in the water. Another thing to mention he never offered us water, drinks, snacks etc. We had to ask if he had them on the boat. The 'alcohol' they offer is a bottle of rum rolling around in the cooler. The snacks are stale. I highly do not recommend! Gave them 2 stars based on the fact that he did help us at turtle Cove.
