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.

Go See the Real Bahamas - PK and Captain D were excellent tour guides during our daylong excursion to the Eleutheras Islands. Swimming with the pigs was an awesome experience and we got to see a lot of marine wildlife like turtles and rays. Make sure to bring a bag and some cash and don't bring anything that you wouldn't mind losing when the wind is whipping by.

The Best Day of Our Trip! - From start to finish it was the best experience! The boat was brand new and the crew was top notch. Captain T, Alvin (AJ) and Bryant had a full cooler and were attentive to every need making sure we were comfortable. The first stop was Pig Island and it was better than we could’ve imagined. The pigs were cute and behaved and we had fun with them in the water. We then went to turtle cay to play with the turtles in pristine waters. The lunch at Harbour Island was the best of the trip as the fish tasted like it was just caught. We took a golf cart through town to Pink Sand Beach and enjoyed a few hours of relaxation. The final surprise was the royal island swings before we headed back to Nassau over the Atlantic. Would definitely recommend Pieces of 8, 5 stars from the crew and the boat to the adventures.

Eleuthera Swimming Pigs and Pink Sands Beach - Once in a lifetime experience made even better by three amazing tour guides, Diego, AJ, and Keyshawn, that took fantastic care of us all day long and gave us the history behind every stop. The boat was immaculate and took us through pristine aqua waters to our first, surprise stop, at a sandbar with beautiful ocean swings and docile sting rays that swam right up to our feet. The pigs at pig beach were hilarious and ranged from little babies that would let you hold them for a photo op to big poppas who were taller than me while standing on their hind legs trying to reach the hot dog held in the outstretched arm of our guide. The highlight for us was the third stop where we got to swim and take beautiful pictures with sea turtles. The guides were amazing and showed us how to hold them while taking pictures for us. We also had another encounter with sting rays but this time they were eating bits of squid from in between our toes! Simply incredible and AJ, Diego, and Keyshawn kept everyone at ease and showed us all precisely how to interact with the sea life despite some initial trepidation. We closed out the tour at the pink sand beach at Harbor Island which was one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been to. The hour plus ride back to the Atlantis was so smooth my son and I both fell asleep in the back of the boat gazing at the immaculate Caribbean backdrop and my daughter got to ride up front with the crew. Awesome, awesome, awesome day and many thanks to AJ, Diego, and Keyshawn for an unforgettable experience!

Amazing- Bucket List Experience!!! - My experience with Captain T and Alex on this tour was beyond exceptional! From start to finish, they made sure every moment was filled with fun and top-notch service. Captain T skillfully navigated us through some rough weather, ensuring our safety without compromising the adventure. Plus, we never went thirsty thanks to their attentive drink service. The itinerary was a dream come true! Swimming with pigs and turtles was an unforgettable highlight, but nothing compared to the breathtaking beauty of Pink Sands Beach on Harbour Island. It truly exceeded all expectations, making it a must-do for anyone visiting the Bahamas. I can't recommend this tour enough—Captain T and Alex are the ultimate guides for an unforgettable experience in paradise. Don't miss out on this bucket list adventure!

Diego and Alex for the win! - Our trip to the Eleutheras was incredible, Diego and Alex were amazing guides and made our trip there that much more special. When we come back to the Bahamas we will absolutely be requesting Diego and Alex for the Exuma trip. Book these guys, you won't regret it, unless having a serious amount of fun isn't your thing ha!
