The tour was worth every penny and then some! Karon was an amazing guide, so knowledgeable, thoughtful and welcoming. He went above and beyond to personalize the tour and make it worthwhile. We were able to go to the various high points of downtown Nassau, see the different neighborhoods and then hang out at a gorgeous beach. The beach water was crystal clear and we could see planes landing every so often, which was cool (we only saw maybe 5 planes in 3 hours, so it won’t cause a noise issue). Karon also made sure we got back to our ship in plenty of time. If you want a different excursion off of the ship that supports a great family owned business, this is it!

Far exceeded even high expectations. The island is pristine, the service is exceptional and kind, and the vibes are chill as it gets. Snorkeling on one side of the island is amazing, and on the other, beautiful water to swim in atop soft sand. The private cabana offered us the escape we desired and we had great privacy and relaxation.

staff were very kind and accommodating. they knew we needed to get back to our cruise ship on time so they arranged to drop us off on a different part of the beach

An excellent way to see the Island! Everyone was very friendly, buggy ran great and we had a fun time. Highly Recommend

The tour guide (Charles) was knowledgeable, engaging, and fun.
