Highlights
  • Meeks Patch Island - Your first stop on this full day tour is Meeks Patch Island. Meeks Patch is home to some very friendly swimming pigs. At this stop guests will have time to swim with the pigs, feed them, and check out the other animal residents.
  • Spanish Wells - Once you arrive in the harbour of Spanish Wells you will see a vast difference from the hustle and bustle of Nassau. Spanish Wells is a beautiful, quaint fishing village that is less than two miles long and less than a half mile wide. The preferred method of transportation here is golf cart. While enjoying the view from the harbour the boat will make a quick stop to pick up some local treats.

Here you will try out a few local food and beverage items prepared especially for our guests by locals of Spanish Wells, Eleuthera while you spend time enjoying the amazing beach and it’s views. After enjoying this relaxing beach break, you will head back to the boat and head off to do some snorkeling. There are numerous shoals and even a shipwreck that may be on your agenda for the day. The wind speed and wind direction will determine which area will be best for snorkeling on the day of your tour.
  • Eleuthera - Ride time from the beach to this location is approximately 35 minutes around the most northern point of Eleuthera Island. The boat will arrive at a shallow cove where you can feed, and touch wild sea turtles as they swim around. Guests will spend approximately 30 minutes at this location.
  • Spanish Wells - Here you will enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant before jumping into golf carts for a quick tour of the island. The time spent at the restaurant is approximately 1 hour.

The BEST experience for a family or anyone really!!! 10/10 - This was such a great experience!! The crew were so attentive and offered us drinks and snacks all day…if you have kids you know that is important!! The day flowed so well, we started at the pigs, the crew gets in the water with you and helps out along with offering photo opportunities for your family…amazing experience. Next stop was a beautiful beach to hang and swim at …then off to swimming with the turtles..which was so so fun, we saw stingrays and other things up so close…again the crew gets in with you to guide the best experience. My personal favorite part of the tour was lunch and touring the small island Spanish Wells Island…so quaint and so fun to drive the golf carts around the island!! Snorkeling was last..and it was great…perfect spot and it was so colorful and we saw a ton of fish…in all, i could not have asked for a better experience. Please note: they tell you that you have to take a boat ride for 1 hr and 20 min to get to the places you will be all day, this is real so make sure you pack for the weather…we brought sweatshirts and i was so glad we did!!! What a great experience…highly highly recommend for a family or anyone really!!!

Best experience during our trip to the Bahamas! - This expedition was WELL worth the price! Each experience during the day was incredibly fun- the captain and crew were happy, funny and dancing! My boyfriend and I had a fantastic time, - if there is one “splurge” item you spend your money on while in the Bahamas- let this be it! would highly recommend.

Long ride, but worth it - The crew of the Habanero took very good care of us on our all day excursion to see the pigs and sea turtles. They always had snacks and drinks available for us and played weather/location appropriate music to entertain us while on the boat. The ride is long to your first stop, about 90 minutes, and could be rough if the water is choppy. Be prepared for the ride by putting your sunscreen on and visiting the restroom before you get on the boat. (Boat had tiny restrooms if you really needed them) Awesome day overall, once you get your sea legs!

Great Experience with Born Free Charters - My wife and I had a great experience with Born Free Charters today. Very professional from online booking to check-in at PI Ferry Terminal. And the excursion itself was fantastic from start to finish. The crew was tremendous all day - very attentive - and the entire experience was top-notch. Highly recommend.

Amazing Experience! - The tour was wonderful! I highly recommend this tour, you get to see a little bit of everything. Pigs, turtles, stingrays, snorkeling, drive golf carts on one of the islands. You get to chill at one of the pink sand islands. We saw dolphins in the water while we were at the pink sand island! The crew gives you fun facts about each place you visit. You're also catered with drinks and snacks. Shout out to Captain Sid, Cameron and Wilson. They all took great care of us. Everything was amazing, I would definitely go again!

What an experience - don’t miss it! - There is no other way to describe it other than a memory our family will always treasure. Snorkeling a reef, visiting/playing with pigs, swimming with turtles and rays, spending time on a breathtaking beach and everything in between, it was an experience like no other. The crew was fantastic and had a music playlist that enhanced the journey. This is a can’t miss opportunity.
