Fun, sun, and fish - We had a great curated day for our family. We got to choose what we wanted to do and for how long which is exactly what we were looking for! Our Captain was kind, patient, and knowledgeable. When spending almost the same amount for just swimming with pigs, hands down this is a much better option! We also did these activities without all the crowds of other tours. We got to fish, snorkel, beach time, sight seeing, and the pigs. Don’t think twice this excursion was well worth it!

Amazing experience! - We had an amazing time on this tour. The snorkeling, sea turtles, fishing, sight seeing and more made our trip. This was my 3rd cruise and was by far my families favorite excursion. We would absolutely do this excursion again!

Highly recommend over any group excursion! - Best thing we did in the Bahamas! Frenchie was an awesome captain and host. He made sure we did everything we wanted to do. We snorkeled with tropical fish and turtles, visited Giligan’s Island, saw the swimming pigs, and even fished for awhile. Our young boys, along with my husband and myself, thoroughly enjoyed the time on the boat and beautiful waters. This was such a better experience than going on a group charter since we were on our own time and made the decisions on what to do. Make sure you ask for Frenchie. He was truly amazing!

Fabulous Snorkeling - The snorkeling was fabulous! We saw lots of fishes and some turtles. Also got to see Gilligan's Island which is great for those of us having grown up in the 80s... It's smaller than on tv. We had a bit of a hiccup in the beginning in which the wrong group took our boat. Recommend confirming the number of people expected on the boat and obtaining the name and phone number of the provider to prevent issues. The captain was great and we really enjoyed the trip.

Bad ending - Everything was going great until we stopped to see the swimming pigs. We got out of the boat and went upon the island where we were greeted by workers who were trying to hand us food to feed the pigs. We told the workers REPEATEDLY that we had no money and we didn't want the food. They gave it to us and said it was included in our tour. After we fed the pigs and took a picture holding the pigs we returned to our boat. We were soon approached by one of the workers who told us we owed them $35 per person ($175 total) for our time with the pigs. Our two guides did NOTHING to defend us and told us we owed them the money. Our two guides NEVER told us there was a fee for swimming with the pigs. "Swimming pigs" is in the title of this tour. Had we known ther was an extra fee we would have NEVER done it as we already spent $850 on the tour. After a lengthy and very difficult discussion with the workers we were finally allowed to leave without paying extra for the pigs. Again, our guides did NOTHING to prevent this very uncomfortable incident from happening. It was a very sour ending to what could have been a wonderful day.

Nice to have private boat ride but stops are poor - Frenchy was a hard working captain. But we never were able to go to a calm beach. The small island had a few large pigs, but it was busy so we did not stop there. Sea was rough so the small snorkel site was murky and busy. I still give Frenchy credit for trying his best. Boat was late by 45 minutes. But he did eventually text us letting us know he was on the way to pick us up that morning. I had to use Bahamas cellular roaming to communicate with him. Boat was fairly nice and soda and water were provided with chips.
