Next we will take a very scenic tour through the many islands of the Exuma Cays where you will be surrounded by beautiful aqua shores and white sandy beaches. The next stop will be at Compass Cay Marina to view the nurse sharks. From there we head to the main attraction at Big Major Cay (a.k.a. ‘Pig Beach’)– home to the world-famous Swimming Pigs!

After lunch relax on a beautiful sandbar ( tide dependent) or a white sandy beach surrounded by turquoise waters.

We had a private charter to the Exuma Cays to celebrate my 50th! The ride was a little rough heading out of Nassau but it soon turned into a beautiful day. Shout out to Captain Cochise and CW. The girls really had a awesome day!

Long boat ride on a fast boat. Got to see lots of open water, yachts, and out islands. Unfortunately, we had a captain that spent lots of time looking and talking on his phone while driving the boat, which frankly scared me for our safety. The captain said very little, and gave no instructions at the stops to get us excited or engaged. It was neat to feed the iguanas and see so many on the island. It was fun to feed the pigs and watch them swim a bit. It was neat to feed baby pigs out of a bottle. The first mate was feeding the pigs and eventually offered me a piece of bread to feed them. At the shark encounter, no instructions given and the captain just disappeared. The first mate got in the water and held the sharks and offered to others to hold the shark, but didn't really look for our group and engage our group directly.

My family had a blast. Kids got to fish and snorkel. Boat was beautiful - so clean. Captain was super, safe ride, friendly, attentive, kids loved the bluetooth to play their music! Assistant to captain was great finding the fish and helping us snorkel. Knowledgable guides and I'd definitely use the service again.
