Additional Information

Join us on one of our Deluxe Powerboats as we set off to discover the Exuma Cays! Our adventure begins with a visit to the Bahamian Rock Iguanas who inhabit their very own island, Allen’s Cay. We then embark on a picturesque trip through the numerous islands of the Exuma Cays, enveloped in stunning aquamarine waters and pristine white sandy beaches. We’ll make a stop at Compass Cay Marina to see the nurse sharks, before continuing to our main highlight at Big Major Cay (popularly known as ‘Pig Beach’)– the dwelling place of the world-renowned Swimming Pigs! Following that, we’ll head to a local eatery where a warm lunch, included in the tour price, will be served. Post lunch, unwind on a gorgeous sandbar (subject to tide) or a white sandy beach encircled by clear turquoise seas.

Pigs, Sharks and Iguanas - Hands down the best tour we’ve been on. Captain Adam and his crew mates were fantastic and were so fun to be around and they made sure we all had a great time.

Best Island Excursion - Every single stop from the iguanas, to the sunken plane, to the sharks, then the pigs, then lunch, and finally swimming at another gorgeous island was incredible! The tour guides were funny and very attentive. The snacks, drinks, and lunch that were included were a plus. Our favorite stop was Compass Cay to swim with the nurse sharks. I would highly recommend this excursion. My only regret is not purchasing a shirt at Compass Cay or Staniel Cay. It is the best way to see the Exuma Islands.

Great day around the Bahamas - This was our second trip with Capt. Rico. The ride went very well. We even had a detour and walked on a sand bar next to Exuma, due to low tide. We saw turtles, held sharks, run away from swimming pigs, fed iguanas and had lunch at Staniel Cay. The last beach stop on the way back could have been longer, before heading back for almost 1h in the boat. Music was lovely and drinks and snacks were always available. Take a look at the pink radler… also, sit in the first 2 rows behind the captain, if you want to drink carefree and avoid most splashing from the waves. When we return, we would definitely put another ride with Rico on our itinerary.

Awesome tour!🦎🦈🐖🐚🌴🌊 - What an amazing tour! I absolutely recommend it! Honestly I was very hesitant to go because of the long boat ride, but it was actually super fun! The boat is very comfortable and it only takes an hour to the 1st stop, the iguanas, very cute and friendly creatures! It also takes an hour to come back to Nassau from the last stop, the sand bar which was awesome! The nurse sharks are amazing, you actually swim with them and you can pet them, kiss them and hold them and some of them are huge! The swimming pigs are so much fun, they actually swim towards the boat when they see it coming:)) The lunch stop is very good, you will see sharks there too and have a chance to get a conch 🐚 shell:) The Pablo Escobar sunken plane is very interesting to see The sand bar (we were lucky to get to see one) was stunning! I've never seen one before it's truly beautiful!🥰 Overall great tour, great boat crew, drinks and music on board, amazing turquoise waters ones you get to the Exuma Islands! Also if you are staying in Atlantis, the meeting point from which the boat leaves and returns to is right behind the Marina Village! 🐚🌊🦈🐖🦎

Exuma Excursion - Wonderful full day excursion to Exuma. Needs to be a full day as Exuma is over 1 hour from Nassau, but a gret way to see the Caribbean. Captain Rico and Ron did an absolutely fantastic job in providing a first class experience. I will let others review the iguanas, pigs and sharks. (they were great) Aquashores was a great choice for our family. Pros: 1. Great big, fast and safe power boat. 2. Knowledgeable crew 3. Lunch at Staniel Cay Yacht Club was great. 4. Proximity to Atlantis Resort 5. The views, the views, the views (esp the sand bar) Only con... Not enough time in the ocean, but still a 5 Star Experience

Not worth waste money - The crew discriminated against me by not providing any written instructions or guides. As a deaf and mute individual, I rely on written communication to understand what is happening. The lack of respect and accommodation made the experience very stressful. Additionally, I faced significant issues with the food options provided. The menu only offered sandwiches and pizza bad health food limit $20 over $20.01 charge which I cannot eat due to my gallbladder condition. Despite informing the staff about my dietary restrictions, no alternative options were made available. Not worth going there
