Best day ever! - This excursion was totally worth the money. It had such great value. The activities were so fun. We took a boat to our own private island. There were a few other groups there but it wasn’t crowded. We were able to snorkel and saw a lot of cool fish. There was a sunken boat and airplane and some other sculptures that really attracted the fish. The guides were super nice and even helped strap our feet in lol. From there we went to meet the iguanas and that was definitely my favorite part. The guy running the iguana area was so nice and pleasant to be around. He was gentle and caring with the iguanas and even let me hold one. The iguanas were so cute and friendly. They loved the food we gave them and didn’t mind being close to humans. After we were done with the activities we went to have Bahamian food. It was delicious and authentic. Boned chicken with yummy sauce and fried fish with rice. We got a couple drinks from the friendly bartenders and swam in the beautiful blue ocean. One of the best days of our entire trip. Everyone made you feel welcomed and safe. The staff was amazing and deserve a bonus! Bring cash so you can tip everyone!

A nice get away - It’s a nice island to relax on, the Lunch included with our day was the best part I could eat the fish they served every day for the rest of my life, just delicious! A little under water garden was pretty anticlimactic compared to the photos and how it’s made to seem but it was still nice to be out in the water and see a few schools of fish passing through. Overall a great day trip to relax in a more laid back area just enjoying the sunshine and salt water

Wishing you well - The conch salad was very good. Everything else needed updating. The sunken statues need maintenance and the iguana area needs much updating as well

Overpriced and poor delivery back to cruise ship - Snorkeling wasn’t worth doing at all. Operators didn’t organize the start well and then got us back to pier when the ship was already boarding (late). While the staff was pleasant and the food was okay, none of this excursion was worth the money spent…maybe if they repriced by 50% it would be, but even then … wasn’t worth it at all.

Very disappointed - This excursion was not what it was written up to be. We were there for a total of 5 hours including boat ride to and from island and we had 20 of snorkeling in this roped in area. No directions how to use equipment. Handed it to us and said be careful. Food was subpar and not worth it. Ladies room no lights and toilet wouldn’t flush. Not An enjoyable experience at all. Held hostage on this island. Should have stayed in town. Not worth the overpriced time.

Overpriced excursion with false advertising - We booked the SunCay Sunken Sculpture Snorkel & Iguana Encounter with Lunch excursion on the Carnival cruise for three family members, explicitly requesting vegetarian meals for all. I made this request twice—once during the booking and again at the guest service desk on the cruise—and both times I was assured that vegetarian meals would be provided. To our dismay, during the excursion, the food servers were completely unaware of our special meal request. They offered only peas and rice with coleslaw. My family had to settle for just the rice. This level of service is unacceptable, especially after repeated assurances. Moreover, the excursion was advertised as a guided snorkeling experience, which was completely misleading. We were merely given snorkel gear and brief instructions on how to tie the life jacket, then left on our own with no lifeguards or guides in the water. For first-timers, this made the experience extremely challenging and unsafe. Additionally, we barely saw any sculptures, which was the primary reason for choosing this excursion. Overall, this was the worst and most overpriced excursion we have ever experienced. The false advertising and lack of promised services were disappointing especially from a cruise company like Carnival.

Definitely not worth it. - Island was not clean. Snorkel experience was very short and not good things to see. The only bright spot of the trip was Iguana Key.
