Bahamas Boat Tour - Did a tour with Captain Les and first mate Allen. Our son’s 18th birthday. They made it the most memorable trip ever!! Would give them 10 stars if I could.

LOVED IT! - Boat crew was a lot of fun. Loved the trip, music and the food was a cheese burger in “Paradise”. We could not have asked for more.

A perfect half day tour for families! - This tour was hands down our family's favorite experience in the Bahamas. Captain Adam and Alan (the "A-team") were so incredibly kind and made the day so much fun. The waters were really rough on the morning of our tour but the A-team adjusted seamlessly and we still got to see all the attractions and had an amazing time. Honestly, if we had stayed in the Bahamas longer we would have probably gone on the tour again with the A-team because it was that great!

Great for all ages - We really enjoyed the experience. The first stop was feeding the pigs on the beach. We were surprised that the pigs were actually in spacious pens, not free roaming, but they had plenty of space and seemed well cared for. They come out and run around on the beach when the boat arrives then happily run back to their home after. The operators watched very carefully that people were gentle and respectful with the animals and appeared to genuinely care about them. The kids and adults loved it equally and we got some great photos. Next we went snorkeling. Other boats were super crowded and swam in packed areas. This boat went a little further out to give us space. We saw plenty of fish and enjoyed the experience. We had plenty of space to swim. We then saw sea turtles and got some history on the islands on our way to lunch. This was served on a little island right on a beach. It was very casual and the kids loved playing on the beach while we relaxed with our food and drinks. We were very happy with the experience and would highly recommend. The captain and mates took great care of us and made it a wonderful trip!

Great Excursion! - We had a great time on our excursion with Captain Adam and Captain Leslie. The snorkeling spot was beautiful and had tons of fish. We loved our time with the pigs and created memories that will last a lifetime. We also really enjoyed our lunch and time at the beach. The water was beautiful and it felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. It was a great experience all around and look forward to doing it again.

Half Day HOORAY!!! - Reviewing the “Half Day Group Rose Island Swimming Pigs Powerboat Tour - Snorkeling, View Turtles, Gilligan's Island” We took a trip with Captains Leslie, Adam & Alan and it was perfect! The captains were so much fun - chatting, playing music, dancing, and super knowledgeable via tips along the way. Two adults + two children (5.5 and 8.5) had a fabulous time on the boat - lots of quick jaunts that made the whole trip very enjoyable. The pigs on Rose Island are raised from birth, so they’re super sweet and the guys that run the island are awesome. Masks/snorkels/life vests provided (if you have a particularly tiny child, I’d probably recommend bringing your own life jacket) for snorkeling. We were able to see lots of fish and a little ray. Gilligan’s Island was a beauty and the turtles at Green Cay were the best!! Lunch was tasty (burgers, chicken fingers, grilled cheese - which is just a burger bun with cheese inside) and the drinks were great. Overall, we were gone from about 8:00 a.m. until a little after noon (12:15’ish) and it was the perfect half-day. We HIGHLY recommend this trip!! Also, for transportation, taxis are easy to come by near the Aqua Shores office, because the Margaritaville restaurant is right there.

Not an excursion, more of a boat ride - It was basically a boat ride. Snorlijg spot was dead coral, no fish. Went tons bar for food that was very basic. Our captain and crew were the only redeeming thing about this. There is no real sense of making sure people have a good time. It felt more like a task for everyone. Not worth the money.
