Highlights
  • Allen Cay - Here you will interact with the Bahamian Rock Iguanas that call this small island home. This species of lizard can be found nowhere else in the world other than three small islands in Exuma.
  • Compass Cay - Compass Cay is famous for their nurse shark population that call this marina home. Here the nurse sharks are not shy, and welcome thousands of visitors per year. Some of the most Instagram worthy photos will happen at this stop while you take a swim in the clear water surrounded by nurse sharks!
  • Great Exuma - Enjoy a delicious lunch and a cold drink at a local Exuma restaurant before getting back on the boat to continue your tour. Lunch is a Bahamian style buffet that will not disappoint!
  • Pig Beach - Big Major’s Cay the home of the now world famous swimming pigs! These pigs have made their way around the world thanks to shows like ABC’s The Bachelor and many social media influencers who have visited the pigs here and have shared their experiences with millions of followers. Here you will have the opportunity to feed and swim with pigs. Don’t forget to take photos!
  • Norman’s Cay - You will have the chance to snorkel at a plane wreck known famously as “Pablo Escobar’s sunken plane”. The plane crashed in at this spot just off Norman’s Cay in the late 1970’s supposedly filled with cocaine. During this time, Pablo Escobar had taken control of Norman’s Cay and its small run way to utilize it as a home base and refueling point for the planes that were running cocaine from Mexico to the U.S. Definitely as must see!
  • Exuma - The only way to finish off a perfect day is to enjoy some beach time! You will stop at a beautiful sandbar or beach for swimming, sunbathing, and more photo taking before heading back to Paradise Island.

Experience worth every penny - We loved this excursion, it was so well organised and fun. Highlights of the trip were visiting Bitter Guana Cay where iguanas live, spending some time with nurse sharks, feeding the pigs on the pig beach. I recommend to take warm clothes, a hoodie, because it is very windy on the boat, and it takes a lot of time to get to this attractions. Food and drinks are offered, there was also a stop for a buffet lunch. The staff is great and helpful, totally recommend this experience!

Bucket List Adventure - This is a must do! We spent just enough time at each stop. All of the creatures were amazing to interact with, the lunch was delicious and the views were unreal. Keep in mind this is a power boat tour. Expect/prepare for a windy ride. There is a cover on top for sun protection, but the sides are not enclosed. The first stop is an hour away. Come prepared and you’ll have the best day ever. Worth every penny! Our crew was Winston, Joey and Deron (sorry if spelled incorrectly). They were amazing! Thank you for a wonderful trip!

Met expectations - Exactly as described. A wonderous, fun-filled day touring some of the beautiful Bahamas Islands by speed boat. We particularly enjoyed interacting with the sharks, the iguanas and the swimming pigs in their natural habitats. The food was good and the snacks were plentiful. The staff was fun, friendly and helpful.

Island hopping amazing experience - From beginning to end the cruise was exceptional. Well organised, with friendly staff and a comfortable, clean craft. The islands visited were amazing. Specialised food for the different creatures was supplied. Helpful advice was given on how to act around them and how best to feed them. The nurse sharks were very friendly and you could easily interact with them. The larger pigs we enountered were a little pushy and you had to keep your wits about you when feeding. But all in all a great experience. We would definitely recommend this as a must do when visiting the Bahamas.

Full day adventure! - Caribbean Queen crew was great! Friendly, helpful, and communication was clear. The stops are spaced out across the whole day and each is a unique experience! Definitely worth the money.

Highlight of the trip - This was one of the highlights of our trip. We went to iguana island, snorkeled by Pablo Escobar’s sunken plane, hung out with nurse sharks, and fed the swimming pigs. After, we went to a local cafe for lunch and then headed back to Nassau. To break up the long boat ride, we stopped at a very peaceful private beach. The boat ride on the open ocean are very long since Exuma is very far from Nassau but it is beautiful. The crew was very professional. The water was a little rough on the way back from Exuma but the captain was confident, calm, and professional. Shoutout to Alex for being a bright and energetic fun part of the crew!
