Island Adventure - Great adventure with plenty of sights and interactions with wildlife. We got to do the weather-permitting activities, so the sand bar and the turtles. The sand bar felt like paradise so that alone was great.
The crew: Winston, TJ, and Joey, were excellent, very friendly, and gave us loads of opportunities to interact with the pigs, turtles, and rays by feeding them right in front of our camera. They were respectful of the animals too which was lovely to see. The animals were friendly and curious which meant you never felt like you were bothering them and they would frequently approach us of their own free will.
We did see a pod of wild dolphins close by as we were leaving the sand bar, it would have been amazing to actually spend some more time with them but appreciate we were already trying to fit a lot into the day. It's a full day so be well rested beforehand if you can.
We had about an hour at the pink sand beach, it was less vividly pink than we thought but was great regardless. It's worth mentioning that there isn't any shade unless you rent a lounger and umbrella from one of the local vendors for around $15 - 20.
The boat fits around 15 to 20 people so a fairly small group and the stops never felt overcrowded, ours only had adults on board but we did see families on one of the other boats. The 'Goat Pepper' was a nice boat and great for anyone that likes speed, it can get pretty windy at full speed though so dress accordingly.

Favorite excursion in the Bahamas! - Five stars across the board! I’ve done multiple types of excursions to different islands and nothing comes close to the experience we had with Born Free.

5⭐️’s - I’m so glad that our family had the privilege of being able to book 2 excursions through Born Free Charters. Our first one was the Exuma island hopping. Our groups were no more than 25 people, and we got to check off 3 animal activities and Pablo’s sunk plane,(one of my favourites) super cool wish we had more time there.. beautiful blue crystal clear water.. Nurse sharks, which was one my favourite I swear they are like puppies! Pigs, and if you are lucky you can actually get a pig to sit pretty for it carrot! 😂iguana island was my daughter’s favourite. They were pretty cute!
Second excursion, which was my absolute fave, Harbour island. The sand bar? Omg beautiful. Pink sand beach omg beautiful with warm water to swim in! Turtles and baby piggies! Like how can you not love sea turtles and baby piggies? I loved everything about this tour. This tour was the “chef’s kiss” of excursions. Definitely more laid back and much quieter than the Exuma one. I felt we could take more time to actually enjoy and soak it all in.. Lots of other tour operators were doing Exuma so each stop was busy.. but harbour island was literally all to ourselves! One boat full of 25 ish people each stop...10/10 would recommend! Captains for each boat were awesome as well as the gals at the check in booth. I always got a prompt email back whenever I had questions. It was literally perfect. I do have to give a personal shout out to Jasmine, and Chino, We had the pleasure of having them for both our excursions! Thank you. Thank you so much for asking, this mom right here, if I would like to have my picture taken. Moms are usually the forgotten ones during all the excitement.. I’ve never had a family excursion or event where I had photos of ME with my family. Thank you for capturing the moments of me and my family together. It literally ment so much to me.
