Highlights
- Allen Cay - Here you will interact with the Bahamian Rock Iguanas that call this small island home. This species of lizard can be found nowhere else in the world other than three small islands in Exuma.
- Compass Cay - Compass Cay is famous for their nurse shark population that call this marina home. Here the nurse sharks are not shy, and welcome thousands of visitors per year. Some of the most Instagram worthy photos will happen at this stop while you take a swim in the clear water surrounded by nurse sharks!
- Great Exuma - Enjoy a delicious lunch and a cold drink at a local Exuma restaurant before getting back on the boat to continue your tour. Lunch is a Bahamian style buffet that will not disappoint!
- Pig Beach - Big Major’s Cay the home of the now world famous swimming pigs! These pigs have made their way around the world thanks to shows like ABC’s The Bachelor and many social media influencers who have visited the pigs here and have shared their experiences with millions of followers. Here you will have the opportunity to feed and swim with pigs. Don’t forget to take photos!
- Norman’s Cay - You will have the chance to snorkel at a plane wreck known famously as “Pablo Escobar’s sunken plane”. The plane crashed in at this spot just off Norman’s Cay in the late 1970’s supposedly filled with cocaine. During this time, Pablo Escobar had taken control of Norman’s Cay and its small run way to utilize it as a home base and refueling point for the planes that were running cocaine from Mexico to the U.S. Definitely as must see!
- Exuma - The only way to finish off a perfect day is to enjoy some beach time! You will stop at a beautiful sandbar or beach for swimming, sunbathing, and more photo taking before heading back to Paradise Island.

Super fun - All the single activities were super fun and exciting. However, think twice before booking this tour: the boat travels extremely fast between the islands. This is a must-do!

WORTH IT - Outstanding experience for my family of 5. Everything was safe fun and acceptable for my 3, 5, and 13 year old daughters! Worth it!

Fun for the whole family - The variety of stops kept things interesting and the crystal clear waters the boat traveled through were amazing to look at. The only issue people should be aware of is that Exuma is a long boat ride away so while they do a good job to break up the stops, there’s a solid 4 hours of time on the boat which we personally found relaxing. This is not a trip focused on traditional snorkeling.

Best excursion of our trip! - Jasmin and her crew were the absolute best! You get so much bang for your buck on this tour. Iguanas, pigs, sand bar, sunken plane! Worth every penny! Lorraine’s cafe for lunch was so delicious.

Do not recommend - It reviews to be abt an 8 hour tour. But you only get 15 minutes at each island. Except for lunch. Majority time you’re on the boat. Not worth $500 per person.
