Fantastic Snorkeling Trip - We had a truly wonderful day and we all wanted to make sure and leave a glowing review. I spent weeks researching places to book for a snorkeling trip. I didn’t care about spending an hour sailing or picnicking on a beach, which most cruises included. We wanted at least two hours of actual snorkeling time, and we wanted to make sure there were good spots chosen. No interest in pigs. Plus, we needed a place that would pick us up close to the pier that Royal Caribbean used and would drop us off there. It also needed to be a reputable place with an internet presence and good reviews, so I could trust them, After an exhausting search, I found 4 Winds, and after corresponding with them, it was clear this was by far the best choice. The experience actually exceeded expectations! We all loved the Captain, and his mate (Bullard) was so helpful. My partner was impressed with how the Captain continually cleaned his boat. My sister kept raving about how wonderful they were. We had four of our nieces and nephews with us, the youngest being 10 years old. Everyone had an incredible trip and I am certain the kids will remember this all their lives. It was actually the highlight of a wonderful five day cruise. We went to four spots, including two on Rose Island and one on Pearl Island. The fish on our first stop were were so plentiful. At one point, Bullard poured some dried food into the water and we had a swarm of a hundred fish boldly circling around us. We went to a tortoise area and saw a number of them; we swam above a big old tortoise grazing lazily maybe six feet beneath us. We spent a few minutes chilling out in a calm area before our final stop in some deep reefs. The captain spent more than the four hours, making the point that he cared more about us having fun than he did about getting back on time. We are so utterly grateful that a week later, I reminded myself that I had to leave a great review. My sister would have been very upset with me if I hadn’t. I am truly happy we chose 4 Winds. It was the highlight of my vacation and a truly wonderful experience.

Awesome Snorkeling Experience! - We snorkeled Rose and Pearl Islands and swam through schools of tropical fish. Then we headed to Gilligan's Island where we, quite fortunately, had that beautiful Island to ourselves,. Then we swam with the sea turtles! It was an amazing tour! Loved every moment! Captain Massick was very accommodating. He was also timely and very professional. This was the highlight of our trip! Great tour. I highly recommend! We did the 9am to 1pm. Captain Massick even dropped us off at the Fish Fry. We had a seafood lunch, took a taxi back to the cruise port, and we're on the ship by 2:30.

Best time ever - We had the most amazing time with these gentlemen! They made sure of it! We had so much fun snorkeling with fish and turtles, hanging out on the beach and in the water, and talking with Dillion and Captain Stafford. Their love for the ocean and their job really shows. We would love to come back any time! Thank you guys for the amazing experience!

A must!!! - Everything was amazing! Captain Stafford was very professional. First mate Dillon was very informative. We felt very comfortable the minute we got on the boat. The boat was waiting for us when we got off our ship. Snorkeling was very safe. We stopped in 3 places and stayed as long as we wanted. He fed the fish so there was so many beautiful fish around us. Swimming and touching turtles Maybe it’s was our favorite. Very seamless start to finish. Would highly recommend 4 Winds Tours. Thank you Captain Stafford for wonderful memories!

A MUST IN THE BAHAMAS! - Such an incredible experience! They provided free snacks, drinks, and even took photos throughout the day. Very friendly and personable!! We saw sea turtles, beautiful fish, and a stingray. Would 1000% do this again. So stunning and beautiful!!

Amazing experience! - This was a wonderful experience. There are many tour options but we were fortunate to find Captain Stafford. He and his crew member were gracious, thoughtful and knowledgeable. We swam with beautiful fish, many turtles and even had our own private beach experience. They shared in our experience and swam with us. They went out of our way to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. They were very accommodating. The equipment was sanitized. They took many photos for us. Five plus stars. It was an amazing experience and the highlight of our time on the island. A must do!

Highlight after highlight - If you’re still wondering if you should book this trip - just do it. You won’t be disappointed. Swimming with the turtles is incredible and we even got to see a sting ray. The snorkling was great too. But the Rose Island beach was also pretty amazing. Jason and Ryan made sure we had the best time. Very accommodating and attentive. Definitely book w these guys. Can’t say enough great things about it.

Exceptional Experience - This was the highlight of our trip and the way to go if you have a family or want a more intimate experience. We were set to be in Nassau on Friday and weather was looking grim. We came into the port with rain and dark sky’s and were really bummed that this experience may not happen. I messaged captain first thing asking his thoughts and he suggested we wait it out until about 10am to see how the weather was going to be. Communication was great and simple. Lucky for us the rain let up and Captain Missick said he thought we were good to go and would hopefully have a few hour window to enjoy. We met right outside the port at the dock by senior frogs and were on our way! The entire experience was perfect. We let them know that the turtles were most important to us and what we wanted to get from the experience and they brought it all to life. We had a great time, learned a lot, saw a ton of cool fish! Sea turtles and a sting ray. The experience was perfect. I got captains information to book another experience with on our next trip. I highly recommend this trip. It was exceptional. For families, they were great with our kiddos, patient, helpful all of it. We have a 7, 8 & 14 year old. For LGBTQ+ folks they were safe and welcoming. We were provided water, pop and chips for the kiddos and some rum punch for the adults. We were also grateful that they were willing to take lots of photos for us. Thank you Captain Messick & Bullard.

Best day on the water! - Our boat day with Captain Missick and Bullard was the highlight of our trip to the Bahamas! We snorkeled, swam with turtles and spent time relaxing on Rose Island. Captain Missick and Bullard were knowledgeable, so kind and prepared and made our day perfect. We will most definitely return and book with them again! Highly recommend!

A great family snorkeling day - Stafford and Dillon were so kind to our family (4 kids: 12-5). They picked us up near the cruise ship and took their time showing us the beautiful islands. The slightly windy conditions changed the stops a bit but we were happy to see sea turtles and lots of fish. Wish we could have stayed longer on the private beach but a wonderful day! Thank you for introducing us to Fruit Champagne and not rushing through our stops!
