The best day - Diego and Alex are amazing! - We had the most amazing experience on our tour. Diego and Alex were exceptional! They were so kind and knowledgeable and made sure everyone on the tour had a fantastic time - to include Diego capturing pictures of a couple that got engaged while we were visiting the Pink Sands Beach! From feeding the sting rays to the pigs and swimming with the turtles it was such an amazing day. Highly, highly recommend!!!

Beach of a lifetime 🏝️ - Would HIGHLY recommend!! The beach in itself was worth every penny. Our whole family (boys 8&9) loved the pigs. The sea turtles were adorable and extremely friendly. What really made the trip for us was our Captain Ron and first mate Travis, their combined knowledge and experience was impressive. They were friendly, fun, accommodating, good with kids and large groups!

Amazing - Highlight of the Bahamas - Our boat trip was on the 20th December 2024 on the rising sun boat and we did the pink sands escape tour. our team were Captain T, Brian and Alvin. Let me firstly say this trip/experience is amazing I cant rate it highly enough! The team were friendly and very knowledgeable, even the customer service team were great and even waved us off. We saw the pigs which was just good fun, then on to feed the stingrays and green turtles, then off to lunch at valentines which was lovely, then chill out time on the beautiful pink sand beach, which is glorious, and finally, because the tide allowed the team took us to a sand ridge, in the middle of the sea with swings and stingrays, that was quite something and I'm so glad we got to see that. We all enjoyed this experience/trip, in fact it was the undisputed highlight of our trip to the Bahamas, we all feel that by doing this trip we have seen and properly experienced the Bahamas. We would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone, money well spent! Thanks you to all the team!

The most perfect day - The day was incredible from start to finish. The crew made sure we were taken care of the entire time and made sure every moment was something we would never forget. The stingrays ended up being my favorite part of the day and I would go on this trip over and over again. Next time we’ll bring our kids!!

Out of this world amazing! - We took two tours with Pieces of 8 First tour was the pink sand beach, we had Captain T and Alvin, Wow they are absolutely amazing! Made our trip unforgettable, helped my mom so much getting on and off the boat, making sure everyone was safe and having a great time, so informative with history and making great memories for my family, thank you both from Mama and the girls! The second tour my sister and I took to the Exumas, this one we had Captain Jello and Bryant, Wow again!! a second unforgettable trip, the guys were so informative about the islands and history, making sure everyone was having a great time and being safe with the piggies and other animals! Unfortunately only the way back one of the guest had a medical emergency and the guys got him taken care of and got all of us back to the dock safe and sound making sure the gentleman was secure! I can not wait to come back and take the tours again hopefully I get to see all you guys again! thank you, Captain T, Captain Jello, Alvin, and Bryant for making life memories for us! From the Salty Jersey girls 🤣🤣 (inside joke)

Do it. You won't regret it! - What a fabulous experience! If you are looking for an all day excursion, the Pieces of 8 Tour to Eleuthera and the Pink Sand Beach will not disappoint. Swimming with the turtles and stingrays in their natural environment was amazing. Lunch at Valentines provided beautiful views and was very tasty. The Pink Sand Beach was breathtaking and a perfect place for a refreshing swim and relaxing in the lounge chairs while taking in the crystal clear turquoise views. Captain Jay (aka Jell-o), Diego and Alex were all fantastic and a very experienced crew. They were very attentive and took care of any need you may have had. A couple families with children were in our group and the crew was great with the kids as well. We ended the day with a surprise trip to a beautiful sandbar with swings. As another reviewer stated, bring some Dramamine just in case. I don't normally get sea sick however, it is a speed boat traveling at high speeds and the water can get choppy at times, so better to be prepared if needed. Also the high speeds can provide some serious spray so be prepared to get wet as well. We plan on doing the Pieces of 8 Exuma tour on our return visit. Definitely recommend!

Great experience! dDid Exuma instead Eleuthera - Big note that we ended up going on the Exuma excursion instead of Eleuthera because the pink sans Beach was canceled. We were not notified of the cancellation until the morning of the trip. Not sure if this was a resort issue or a Viator issue. Regardless the trip with pieces of eight was amazing! We swam with the pigs, visited iguana island, and swam with the Nurse sharks. We also stopped off at a magical sandbar in the middle of the ocean. We had some bad weather on the way back so we didn’t get to stop and spend a longer time at another island but our captain and first made amazing hosts and we still had fun. Can’t recommend Captain Diego and first mate Bryant enough! Thank you!

Pieces Of 8 tours are a must!!! - Ahoy!!! Ended my vacation going on this once and a lifetime tour. We saw wildlife up close and personal including pigs, green sea turtles, and stingrays. Lunch at Harbor Island and a lovely visit to an infamous pink sand beach. Lastly the staff. Diego aka Capt. Doc and Bryant aka Brizz, were two genuine kind and knowledgeable guys who put care into making sure everyone has a good time. PS: pack the Dramamine as your traveling via speed boat at 45 MPH and possibly hitting some rough seas. Never been seasick? Pack it anyway JIC.

One of the best regs I ever did! - An absolute must. Worth every penny, if you are hesitant. I took the tour yesterday with my 9 and 12 year old. It was fantastic. Originally booked the Exumas tour but the winds were too strong so captain decided we change to this one. Captain D. and Bryant were absolutely brilliant. Knowledgeable, professional, fun, attentive, best of the best, and I am not easily pleased. Sting rays, turtles, pigs, lovely lunch and pink beach. Hands down one of the best days of my life. Amazing memories made.
