Thumbs up! - Larry and his crew were awesome! Love the interaction! Rum punch included was a nice touch. Beach area under construction but still a beautiful spot. Went on a cooler day so pigs weren't into the water but the experience with them on the sandy beach was still cool! We had a big group of kids and adults and everyone had a great time.

Great way to spend the afternoon - We were looking for a way to spend the afternoon instead of at the resort. We booked this trip the day before. The boat arrived later than pick up but the trip was not shortened for it. We went snorkeling at a vibrant fish filled area. We sight saw turtles. We did wish we could get in the water with them. Then we went to the beach club island. It was a rocky walk up some steep steps but it came out to a picturesque beach with cash bar, delicious island lunch, beach, water activities and of course the pigs. We have done the pigs on Exuma with the wild ones, but these pigs are very well behaved! The staff were friendly, entertaining, and helpful. The boat was roomy and the ride was not long. It was worth the price and a fun way to spend the afternoon.

Pig Daddy Ray! - We had an amazing time on our island adventure! Captain Tristan and First Mate Big Ray were incredible hosts—Tristan drove the boat like a rockstar, and Big Ray was the life of the party. The boat wasn’t overcrowded, so everyone had plenty of space to enjoy themselves. The snorkeling stop was a highlight: warm water, beautiful coral reefs, and lots of colourful fish. We even spotted a couple of turtles from the boat! Pig Island was fun to visit. Lunch (chicken and rice) was okay, and drinks were a bit expensive, but the weather was perfect and the crew truly made the day unforgettable. All the staff were friendly, fun, and went above and beyond. We paid $150 for the 10:30–2:30 trip, and it was absolutely worth it. So glad we chose the adventure with Big Ray—his boat is definitely the party boat! Highly recommend!

Not luxury and not with the money - We booked through Jet Blue vacations. This was advertised on a luxury speedboat , 40 foot midnight. This was NOT a luxury boat. The rub rails were falling off and the seats were falling apart. The floor of the boat had band aids and napkins on it. Really gross and over capacity for sure in spite of being told it would not be at capacity due to slow season. Having to disembark the boat at the private island via ladder or bow without a dock is also not told in advance and could be a problem for some. The island is under construction and the lunch was a joke. One piece of chicken, rice, and a one inch piece of corn. We were incredibly disappointed.

Not as advertised and not a great experience! - We did not have a good experience. The excursion did not match what was advertised. The snorkeling was not that impressive and also we specifically booked this tour since we wanted to swim with the turtles, and they just took us on the boat around where the turtles were near the green island. There was no communication when we arrived at their private island. The boat crew did not stay with us and no one from their company on the island gave us clear details as to what to expect there. we waited wondering and they finally told us their lunch was ready (which btw was not too bad), but we were at no point even offered bottles of water at any point during the tour. Overall it was not an impressive experience.

Disappointing 😞 - We booked through Viator and advised them of the following issues: We were supposed to visit 3 islands. We visited one. Very nice Island (Rose Island) but Shore 2 shore had purchased part of it and it was a building site with a digger, building products and chemicals etc. If we had been advised of these construction works we would not have taken the trip. It was stated that on the itinerary that we would visit Atholl island to swim with pigs. We did not visit this famous island. They bought pigs down on Rose Island (again if we had been advised of this prior to the trip we would not have booked). There are no cute small piglets and just fully grown pigs that did not swim. The ONE rum punch we were offered was of bad standard.  We paid 300 dollars for this trip so you would expect better. There was no commentary at all from the crew regarding any points of interest which is the norm on these type of trips. The turtle swimming that was advertised did not happen! The lunch was some hard bit of chicken some rice and a tiny piece of sweetcorn. There were no other choices. Had to pay for any other drinks when on the island. What really is disappointing is that shore 2 shore did not acknowledge this complaint I sent directly to them. Also when viator contacted them they did not acknowledge there was anything wrong. Such poor customer service. I wished I had booked with a professional tour company such as Sandy Toes.

Not accommodating and terrible directions. Do not recommend. - Directions to the meeting point were not clear. We actually needed to taxi to the right spot. We ended up on the wrong side of island. We paid $100 to taxi to the right spot to find out them left us. Then we were expected to pay $100/person for a boat to catch up with the tour. I have been many places and this price is outrageous for the trip there. They had other times for the same excursion , but they were cancelled. We then had to taxi back….more money out of our pockets. We have asked Viator and Shore to Shore excursion for a refund but no luck. Do not recommend either company.

Due to very unclear... - Due to very unclear instructions on where to start our tour, we were taken to the wrong Margaritaville and missed our boat to leave. After paying $100 in taxi fees we were told we’d need to pay another $100 per person to get to the tour. We were not able to be booked on the next tour because those were all cancelled for the day. All requests for any type of refund were rejected for our entire group.

The directions to get to... - The directions to get to the boat tour were poor. We went to the incorrect Margarittaville and missed the boat/tour. No alternative offered and no refund given. Poor customer service.
