Absolutely breathtaking.... - Absolutely breathtaking. I actually have no words. If you have the chance to do this, DO IT!!! Captain Dave was hilarious, and made it so unforgettable. Everything was incredible, even when it rained on us. I would 100% do this again!

The best day! - This was an amazing day; captain Dave took great care of us all day. The private plane out and back was a great choice instead of being on a boat all day long in the hot sun. The site visits had ample time to relax and enjoy and the ride from stop to stop wasnt very long either. The day was well paced and the sites great. The lunch at the Swimming Pug was good as well. Watch out for the spicy wing sauce! Thank for a very memorable adventure !

Just Do It!!! - I can't say enough about what a fun day it was with Capt. Dave in Exuma; swimming with the pigs holding the Nurse Sharks swimming in the Grotto , which was exceptional, lunch at a licals place, and everything else we visited.
If you're going to the Bahamas , I highly recommend this trip with 3Ns.
I took a flight out of nasal into Stanley Cay, and on return still had a good part of the afternoon to relax snd share pics!
Here's just a few with my favorite being the piglet following us out!
Just Do It!

Life-changing Experience! - Captain Dave provided us with an unforgettable experience! We were lucky to have only one additional person on our tour, who was absolutely great and someone we instantly clicked with, which made it feel like a private experience. Captain Dave truly cares for the animals you see during this trip and he goes above and beyond to provide the best experience! An example is he throws food into the water in front of you so fish gather for a more fun snorkeling adventure. This excursion was the highlight of our trip to the Bahamas. The plane ride, at first may seem scary to some, was actually super smooth and quick. We were able to beat tourists to locations that traveled by boat from Nassau which made stops more private and even more special.
If you are on the fence about booking this excursion, DO IT!! The Exumas are something everyone should see and getting there by plane and shown by Captain Dave is the absolutely best way to do it! It was truly a life-changing experience that we’ll never forget. I will be back.
Truly appreciate you, Captain Dave!

Would 100% recommend - Was a really awesome day trip and great way to see some of the Exumas islands. The water there is gorgeous. The whole tour was very well organized and timing like clockwork from hotel pickup to flights to boat tour, lunch and then back again. Couldn’t have been done better. I wish I had added the stop to see turtles at Little Farmer’s Cay but I wasn’t sure how long the tour would feel but the time flew by and everything g was fun.

Absolutely amazing Exuma day! - The experience from initial booking to post trip was seamless! Coach Fishy was so friendly and gave us a wonderful tour of the islands explaining it all as we went. Having lunch included at the end was a wonderful added bonus.
Communication was extremely efficient throughout and we never felt like we didn’t know what was going on. We did need to adjust our tour date by a few days but that was also seamless!
A truly remarkable and memorable
day that we will remember for our lifetimes!!!
Thank you 3N’s 🇧🇸☀️🥂

Family fun for all ages - What a great experience I was able to have with my family. The ocean and stops speak for themselves. The guides and captains make it even better helping you at every turn. We brought our youngest 2 to our oldest 13 and they all had a great time. It’s a day to remember and the guides make sure they are there to help and make sure pictures are taken and everyone gets a turn. Thank you 🙏 we loved it!

Brilliant trip - amazing time - This was the best holiday trip we have ever done. With captain Kenton (sp?) we had the most amazing time - he was so patient with our youngest who was nervous around the pigs and sharks and equally challenging with our eldest who wanted to do all the hidden tunnels at the grotto. It couldn’t have been better - we would recommend to everyone to do this. We are just trying to work out if we can afford it to do a second time in the week we are here!!
