Great Vibe - I didn't know we had to bring our own towels so that would have been good info, and also the website says that you can play on the obstacle course as part of your experience but that wasn't the case. They were charging $10.

Relaxing and fun! - This was definitely as it says .. beach escape! It was relaxing. The island is beautiful. The lunch was delicious. I would recommend this to those who seek an even clearer more pristine waters and better views, cleaner beach compared to the main islands (Paradise and Nassau). Very family friendly and life guards are very attentive.

Well worth it - Everything in the Bahamas is expensive - I thought for the price of this one, it was well worth it. The staff on the island were friendly and helpful. It’s a cheap option for a day tour.

Very beautiful island. - The fairy from downtown Nassau to Paradise Island only leaves when it’s full. There is no set times so you must be there extremely early or have to do what we did and take a $30 cab over the bridge to Paradise Island. The tour guide let us know we could ask for the boat to drop us back at downtown Nassau which was really good. Didn’t get any history of the island or anything just the ride over there. The water was a little rough that day so we couldn’t snorkel on the reef, but we did get to snorkel on the other side and saw a lot of fish and the stingray. It’s a little bummer that there wasn’t any real place to swim in the ocean just hanging out in a shallow roped of area. but it was a beautiful island. Very nice to lay in the lounge chair and just look at how pretty everything is. The food was good. And there is a bar to purchase drinks.

Needs improvement - The island was very nice, water and views were beautiful. Food was not good, no snacks except chips, beer was warm, and the boat was in disrepair. The captain had troubles driving the boat both coming and going. The young man who checked us in and gave instructions was delightful and helpful.

Was a bit overrated from... - Was a bit overrated from what I saw online, the island gets packed as several boats come packed with people if your not one of the first boats in chairs will be limited. Most of the beach is rocks and if traveling with kids who want to play in the water this probably isn’t the experience you want as the 2 sandy beaches fill up quickly. Food was ok if you want hot dogs for your kids this is extra. Based on other day trips we have done they might cost a little bit more but it is worth the extra expense
