Highlights of the trip were visiting Bitter Guana Cay where iguanas live, spending some time with nurse sharks, feeding the pigs on the pig beach. I recommend to take warm clothes, a hoodie, because it is very windy on the boat, and it takes a lot of time to get to this attractions. Food and drinks are offered, there was also a stop for a buffet lunch. The staff is great and helpful, totally recommend this experience!”

“This one was our true Bahamas highlight! Amazing trip, worth the price. A lot of emotions started already on the boat, when we were bouncing through the ocean waves on our way to Exuma islands with high speed and wind in hair. Then all the animal encounters, nature surroundings and great guides made our day - with a lunch and open bar close to the sharks - swimming just below our feet. I would only advise to avoid booking it on your last day in Bahamas, as our was rescheduled to the next day due to weather conditions. Anyways, an honest recommendation from me - the images from the trip…”
