THE best trip I've ver done in my life! Pricey but worth every penny. This day absolutely made our honeymoon! Had to make our own way downtown (was easily enough arranged through our Sandals concierge). Once on the boat the tour guides were so so friendly. Made sure everyone had a good day, constantly supplied with drinks and snacks. Defo recommend!

A Paradise

Mattia_m, Aug 2023

Tour Daddy very very incredible!!! sea a paradise, pigs, iguanas, plane wreck of Pablo Escobar .. all wonderful. Welcoming and nice team, the numbers 1

avoid it

Kaoru_U, Jun 2023

死にたくなければやめた方がいいです。帰りのスピードボートで時化に見舞われ、雷雨の中の帰路となりました。海が荒れ、大雨が降っているにも関わらず、運転者は往路と同じくロケットの様な凄まじいスピードで無理矢理突き進みました。マシンガンのような雨粒が全身を穿ち、ボートは大きく揺れ、何度も海面に叩きつけられました。その衝撃は、全身に打撲による痣が出来るほどでした。打ちどころが悪ければ死んでいたでしょう。何度か海に放り出されそうになり、必死に座席にしがみついていました。ライフジャケットもシートベルトもなかったので、海に放り出されたら死んでいたでしょう。いつ転覆してもおかしくない状況でした。こうして生きて帰れているのは偶々運が良かっただけです。イグアナ、ブタ、サメはかわいかったし、ランチもハエが集っていたこと以外はまあまあ良かった。しかし、乗客の安全を蔑ろにしている時点で本末転倒であり、評価に値しない。毒を提供するレストランのようなものであり、美味しいか不味いか、という次元の話ではない。安全性を確保するというのは、サービスの質云々以前に、商売を成立させる上でもっとも基本的な、最重要の事柄である。乗客の安全を完全に無視した、危険な運転をするツアーでした。多少時間がかかっても、速度を落として安全に運転すべきだったのではないでしょうか。このレビューを読んだ人は、このツアーを回避して下さい。それは即ち死を回避するということです。 If you don't want to risk your life, you should avoid it. We were caught in rough weather on the speedboat during the return trip, turning our journey into a thunderstorm. Despite the turbulent sea and heavy rain, the driver forcefully pushed forward at an astonishing rocket-like speed, just like on the outbound journey. Raindrops struck my entire body like a machine gun, and the boat rocked violently, repeatedly slamming against the surface of the sea. The impact was so intense that it left bruises all over my body. If I had been hit in a critical spot, I would have likely died. I almost got thrown overboard several times and desperately clung to my seat. There were no life jackets or seat belts provided, so if I had been thrown overboard, I would not have survived. It was a situation where capsizing could have occurred at any moment. The fact that I made it back alive was purely due to sheer luck. The iguanas, pigs, and sharks were cute, and lunch was decent except for the flies that were attracted to it. However, by disregarding the safety of the passengers, they completely missed the point and don't deserve any credit. It's similar to a restaurant offering poison; it's not about whether the taste is good or bad. Ensuring safety is the most fundamental and crucial aspect of doing business, even before considering the quality of service. The tour was conducted with a complete disregard for passenger safety, and it was driven in a dangerous manner. They should have slowed down and driven safely, even if it meant taking a little more time. Anyone reading this review should avoid this tour. That means avoiding death.

Great Experience

Well organized. They picked us up in front of the Hotel and write us that 1 day in advance. We had a really god time and enjoyed the day.

Absolutely amazing day but choppy and wet ride back

Jennifer_S, Feb 2023

An absolutely fantastic day, worth every dollar to me. Yes it’s incredibly expensive but seeing the pigs has been a bucket list item for me. Our boat guides were fun, informative and very hospitable. The included lunch was delicious and had veg options as well as fish for us non meat-eaters. The iguanas were wonderful to see as well. And the topper at the end of the day was the icing on the cake! I could have stayed much longer with the pigs but I understand there’s a lot to see over long distances in a day. Really appreciated the breakfast provided as well at so early in the AM and a staff member meeting us at the corner as we raced to get there. Some caveats: the music on the boat is LOUD and hip-hop/pop/dancehall so lots I danced to… but definitely not appropriate for kids. So keep in mind lots of sexually suggestive lyrics will be heard. Also you should be warned: the boat ride back is ROUGH and you will get soaked, absolutely drenched, if you ride at the back of the boat. You’ll be cold as well. So bring a waterproof jacket and plenty of towels. I wish I had as myself and others had chattering teeth. Also sadly although soft drinks are included none are recycled. Would still do it all over again!

The best trip of our entire honeymoon

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND- BETTER TO BOOK WITH SOMEONE ELSE

Vicky_M, Aug 2022

I would not recommend this company for a tour. We didn't get to do the tour because they cancelled on us the day of, after we waited over 30 mins at the meeting point. If it wasn't for the help of a local, who helped us call the number on the window, we would have been waiting there for hours with no notification. Here's the story- I booked this tour for my sister's bachelorette party. This was the main reason we went to Bahamas. Day of the tour, we arrived at the meeting point at 7 AM which was earlier than the meeting time which was 7:30AM. By 8AM, we were wondering why there was no one at the office or even nearby. At 8:05AM, a local asked us what's happening and the local eventually helped us call the number on the window. The guy on the phone, mentioned he emailed me via TripAdvisor that the tour was cancelled due to weather and that he emailed me yesterday. I did not get a single email from him. At 8:10AM, when I finally got WI-FI access and he hung up on us, did I get an email about the tour being cancelled and asked if we wanted to reschedule. His excuse was that it's due to high winds...but we met another boat captain who said it was great weather to go to Exumas today. It was sunny and hot and in the 90's so I don't know what "high winds" he was talking about. So we were stuck with no plans because he cancelled on us so late that all other company's were already headed out to Exuma. Thankfully we met the manager of the harbor and he helped us plan something last minute which did not include the pig tour, but we at least was able to go on a boat and it was 1/5th the price of this tour. Also, the harbor manager said, he's seen this happen to many people before and said that this company is such a terrible company. They used bad weather as an excuse but in reality, it's because they didn't get enough people to go, so they rather just cancel than having to go through with the excursion. Would not recommend unless you have backup days you can go ( i.e. instead of going Friday, going Saturday) because they will say, can you go tomorrow instead. My best friend also booked through them a couple months before and told me it happened to them but thankfully, they had free days during their vacation in which they were able to switch their plans. PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DON'T BOOK THROUGH THEM.

Great Tour!

Can’t wait to do again!!!

Crystal_R, Jul 2022

Had an amazing time!!!!!highly recommend! The staff was so entertaining, swimming with sharks, fed the iguanas, pet the pigs. A perfect day rolled into one!

Best experience in the Bahamas!!!

Lori_G, Jun 2022

I'd say swimming with the sharks and seeing Pablo Escobar's sunken plane was the highlights! The owner and crew were amazing and super helpful! Took care of all their tourists and very knowledgeable!

A MUST DO!

Jennifer_M, Apr 2022

This was an AMAZING experience! From the start: working with DiDi was wonderful. She was informative, attentive, helpful, so sweet & kind and just so concerned about the experience all would have on this trip. She is there for you if any issues arise and will handle anything you need! The trip itself was fantastic! The boat captains were phenomenal and their boat ride playlist was banging. Everything about the experience was enjoyable but a few notes to share! 1. Bring clothes that can get wet. 2. Be prepared to get soaked! 3. This trip is very looooong. It’s like 180 miles on a speedboat! Total boat trip - 2 hours back. Let that sink in - it’s a long trip. But, so worth it. With rough water, that ocean spray will slap your face hard! It would be so much more enjoyable if the boat had a canopy or something that could block some of the sea spray. Thank God for ponchos which they supplied! The iguanas were so cute. Make sure you go up in the trees there’s so many in there. The sharks were so cool…get in the water with them. And the pigs were adorable; the little piglets oinking…Omgoodness…so cute. My favorite part was the Bahamian lunch - amazingly delicious abs everyone was just wonderful. Such a great trip! Do it.

Out of this world!❤️

elizabeth_m, Jul 2021

What an amazing experience! Everything from the communication to the actual experience that we ended up doing as a plan b because the weather in Exuma was unfavorable. Looking forward to another excursion with them next month. Great tour guides and very attentive.

Amazing Tour!

Rebecca_W, Jul 2021

The tour was amazing once you get pass the windy ride in a speedboat (fist time). We were served a hot breakfast and smooth check-in. We visited the famous spot (Iguanas, swimming pigs, Nurse Sharks & Pablo Escobars crashed plane site). We had unlimited snacks and drinks even alcoholic drinks. It was a Good Time! Additionally, we visited a lovely beach with water and soft sands. Lunch was delicious and buffet-style! The best part of the trip was the wonderful Crew!!! They were very informative, friendly, and FUN. They cater to all our needs and made my trip awesome!! Definitely booked them if you want to have a great time!!!!!!! The party never end when you book a trip with TOUR Daddy

Moment agreable

CALANDRAU_E, Apr 2023

Très belle journée... pas mal de bateaux. 15 min avec les iguanes, 20min avec les cochons et 15 min avec les requins. Repas correcte... le petit groupe était de 20 personnes et non de 6 ... un peu déçu ...
