What people are saying about Nassau

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!

This tour was great! The crew members were very friendly along with the crew on the island. It was so peaceful relaxing in the sun and enjoying the beautiful scenery. The food was delicious and drinks were amazing. Highly recommend! The only thing I wished, was to see more of the pigs in the water. They only brought out 1 pig at a time. I didn't swim much with with pigs but may have if there was more but it was still amazing and I'd do it again.

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.

We booked the private tour and it was an absolutely fantastic trip! The snorkel spots were very pretty, the water was so clear and there were plenty of fish to be seen, and the location for the pigs was stunning. The guys on the boat really made our trip and it felt like we were rock stars for the day!!!

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
