Best Adventure Yet-100% Worth It!! - We went on the “Pink Sands” tour yesterday from 7:30am-4pm with Captain Ron & First Mate Bryant (Brizz). It’s was nothing short of an amazing experience. Had a small group of 11 people. Plenty of room & still very comfortable. They were super informative during the ride. We did not travel with kids, but they were extremely attentive to the kids on the tour with us making sure they were having a great time. Plenty of drinks & snacks to entertain everyone. They took us to the sand bar with swings, swam with the sea turtles, fed the piggy’s in the water & a golf cart ride through the town to Pink Sands Beach which was beautiful. Perfect for us since we are on our honeymoon. Lounge chairs & umbrellas included. The lunch was great at the restaurant & included in the price. This was by far the best day of our trip. If you are thinking it’s a bit too pricey, think again! It was 100% worth it!! All you need to bring is a light jacket and a beach towel. Seriously, nothing else needed. They had it all. What a great experience!

Exuma Tips - The two islands of Exhuma are small, though a car rental is a must, as bus run infrequently and it’s dangerous to bike on narrow, potholed roads. Rent a car at the airport: a small car with good gas mileage can be had at Thompson’s car rentals for c. $65 a day. Keep to the left side of the road in this former British colony! Of course, having a boat to get around the islands and to the cays (keys) is the best option.
Food is very, very expensive, as the Exhumas have to import everything. It’s smart to hunt out the few groceries, buy staples, and do much of your cooking at your lodging. There is a grocery and a liquor store next to each other in the main village, Georgetown, across the street from the boat excursions. The best restaurant may actually be Kermit’s Lounge across from the airport. Huge, tasty portions for $18.
We found Airbnb good for inexpensive lodging. We recommend The Three Sisters, and the helpful owner Shavenette.
On land, the beaches are the things. We visited all of them that are on the maps, all were gorgeous. Up north Exhuma Point, with its shallow water, and on the ocean side CocoPlum. The Three Sisters beach in the middle. Jolly Beach closer to Georgetown. Tropic of Cancer and Forbes on Little Exhuma.
A must excursion is to take a boat for c. $25 to Stocking Island, just off Georgetown. Elvis is one of the boat companies. The Chat and Chill bar and the Coconut Club hotel are the drop-off and return points. The former has sand volleyball, the latter has hiking trails in the jungle hills and water slides for kids.
The other excursions, up the cays to Thunderball Grotto and swimming pigs island and such, are mostly very expensive, c. $1,000 and more. There are half-day c. $200 jaunts to various Exhuma beaches. There are also reasonably priced kayak trips through the mangrove inlets.

A Must-Do Experience in Nassau - Pieces of 8 Tours in Nassau, Bahamas truly exceeded my expectations. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and you could tell they genuinely wanted to make every moment unforgettable. They participated in the activities alongside us to guide and reassure everyone, which made the experience feel both fun and safe. If you were nervous, their confidence and expertise immediately put you at ease—you always knew you were in great hands. And a huge shout to our Captain Diego and his amazing crew!!

Bahamas at Christmas Vacay 2025! - This is our 3rd excursion with Pieces of 8 tours where we sailed with Captain Diego and crew and they did not disappoint. This excursion was to Exuma where we fed the Iguanas, swam with nurse sharks, the famous swimming pigs and visited a hidden sand bar at low tide. There was also a new attraction where we snorkeled a plane wreck at Norman Cay. The crew took us to Lorraine’s for a buffet style Bahamian lunch all while providing complimentary water, soft drinks, punch, beer and mojitos throughout the day! Looking forward to our next visit to the Bahamas and Pieces of 8 excursion!! This excursion truly provides breath taking views of the Bahamas! You won’t be disappointed!

Stunning, Thrilling, FUN and Amazing!!! - This tour was a BLAST. So much fun interacting with the iguanas, nurse sharks and the swimming pigs. The sand bar at low tide was ethereal—softest white sand and clearest blue water. It was magical!!
Many thanks to Captain Jello and Alex who were friendly, fun and looked out for us. So so worth it!!!!

Mighty Max's Great adventure - It was wonderful. Captain John (spaghetti) and first mate "Meatball" were great helpful entertaining and funny. Wife and kids loved it daughter 9 and son Max whom they nicknamed Mighty Max to his delight... age 6. The nurse sharks were their favorite. They also enjoyed the iguanas and Pigs as well as Lunch and sneaking food to the feral cats.
I would however recommend Not taking kids who are not at least 5...the boat ride can be rough. I can't imagine having to hold a 3 year old.
