Our guide, Avesha, was friendly, informative and caring that we all had a good time. The snorkelling stop was a little short, but we were provided with life jackets and snorkelling gear, but no flippers so bring these if you would like them. The beach club was great, with plenty of spaces to settle in, great photo spots and unlimited rum punch. However, lunch was quite light as it was limited to one burger / hotdog per person and then a packet of chips so bring extra snacks if this is not enough for you! The pig show consists only of feeding the pigs, although they do let you pet them and the trainers are on hand to take videos and photos too. Overall a great trip and I would recommend going on the afternoon tour for better enjoyment.

We had a great time with Mark! He did not only bring us to the best plebes and restaurants in Nassau, but he also explained a lot to the history of the city and the country. Moreover, the food was great and the cocktails were absolutely amazing. We loved it!

Me and my wife had a great time. The crew was amazing and made us very welcome. The whole experience was great, would recommand!!

If you like to enjoy adventuring alone, this is the best option.... Excellent service and very friendly. Highly recommended

Outstanding! The crew on the boat were awesome and very nice.
