It beat the pigs, the glass bottom boat and the kayaking - easily. Fantastic experience. Plenty of food, GREAT crew, but it was the atmosphere that really was cool. What a vibe! The music after the sun set was super party-style, though maybe not for young kids ears so we threw ours overboard! (Just kidding! All our kids are grown up.) This was the best part of our one week stay! (Note, get there a few minutes early and have a drink at Margaritaville Bar which is open air and just a few feet from check in for your cruise.) We left a $100. tip and felt it was well deserved.

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.

We had a great time on our Dilly Dally bike tour of Nassau. Quinn was a fantastic guide and took us to some great spots. He was a fun raconteur and made sure we were all safe on the busy streets. Especially loved Junkanoo Beach ( take swimwear for a lunchtime dip) and the view from the fort. Graycliff cigars was also fascinating. Would recommend this trip!

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.

Absolutely incredible! The staff waited as we were running a bit late and it was so appreciated! The captains were so amazing and funny and made us feel right at home. The views and stops were incredible and was a beautiful once in a lifetime experience!
