We had the best time on this excursion!! The captain and his assistant were so friendly, relaxed and professional. They were right on time and wasted no time getting us started. We got a harbor tour, swam with pigs, saw some turtles (couldn't snorkel because of shark in the area) and snorkeled near pearl island for a bit. It was pretty choppy when we were out, so we kind of had to switch the itinerary up by checking out rose island a bit more. Wouldn't have changed a thing and will definitely book with them again if we are ever back in Nassau!

Great half day trip!

Sarah_M, Apr 2024

Had a great trip! There were 6 of us. Two kids. Saw so many beautiful things. Crew was super nice, knowledgeable and when our kiddos were getting tired, they pushed for one more site and it was the best part of the day!!

The absolute highlight of our trip!

Victoria_D, Aug 2023

The absolute highlight of our trip! Stafford and his colleague were fantastic..friendly, knowledgeable and relaxed. We had the opportunity to swim with turtles, snorkel in various locations, visit gilligans island and spent time on a stunning beach in secluded paradise. The boat was in immaculate condition and the free snacks/drinks were a lovely touch.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Captain Stafford and Bullard work real hard to make every interaction with guests exceptional and memorable, and we're happy to know it shines through and your 4Winds Tour was the highlight of your trip. We are grateful that you took the time out to leave us a review, and look forward to welcoming you back!

We had a great time with...

Suzanne_C, Mar 2023

We had a great time with 4 winds for the half day cruise. They were great with communicating, there was some concern about rain in the morning when we’re supposed to go so they contacted us to see if we would want to move to the afternoon. The description says to rose island but it is so much more than that. We made 5 stops, did some great snorkeling, saw lots of sea turtles and relaxed on a private beach. It was a great afternoon.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Hi Suzanne, Thank you for the detailed review of our half day cruise. It's our pleasure to share this amazing collection of stops packed into a great time with persons like you onboard. We appreciate your flexibility as well to ensure a comfortable, memorable and relaxing trip. Please do reach out if you're back in our islands again - we'd love to have you back onboard. Your 4Winds Crew

Family spring break

Stafford was exceptional. He was informative and fun. It was a great afternoon. In addition to great snorkeling, he took us to see other unexpected sites.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Hi Ronald, Thanks for choosing 4Winds for your family spring break adventure while in The Bahamas, and reminding us of why we do what we do.

Perfect family day trip

kwestmd, Mar 2023

Great stops snorkeling, seeing the turtles and playing on the beach - with a sighting of wild peacocks! Perfect for a small group (we were a family of 6). Would definitely book again.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Perfect family day trip - now that's an incredible headline! We're loving this feedback and can't wait to have you back snorkeling, turtle seeing and beaching with us. Thanks for letting us be a part of your vacation moments. Please visit again. Your 4Winds Crew

From learning about Nassau to snorkeling to seeing the sea turtles and spending time on the islands, this excursion checked every box for us. Highly recommend! 4 Winds is 5 star!

Amazing Day on Water

Gautam_P, Jul 2022

Amazing day with a amazing tour guide took my family on a amazing adventure and showed us the the true Bahamas and not the tourist spots. Swam on pearl island and just had a wonderful time and just overall friendly and safe. Spend the money and have a great day on the water with great people to guide you. Swimming with turtles is the bomb.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thank you for the 5-stars, and for taking the time out to share your experience with 4Winds! It was a delight having you guys on board and to show you a glimpse into the real Bahamas. Please come back again, there's so much more to see and it would be our pleasure to share another fun-filled adventure with you.

Super après-midi avec le...

Mohamed_B, Nov 2022

Super après-midi avec le capitaine, très gentil et très pédagogue, il nous a expliqué les différents recoins de l’île et nous a montré un spot magnifique sur rose island

Response from Host, Jan 2023

We're thrilled that we could share just some of the amazing spots the Bahamas has to offer. Thank you for taking the time to review 4Winds and we'd love to see you back again. Your 4Winds Crew
