    Fantastic trip! Crew was welcoming and fun, the stops were amazing! To counter the few negative reviews here, a few things to know... 1. It's an hour plus boat ride each way from Nassau, so you're going to spend a lot of time in choppy water and the boat is going to hit waves. Some folks seem to find this reckless, that's part of a water excursion. You don't want that, pay more for a flight excursion. 2. You get limited time at each stop because there's a lot of stops. Don't expect 30 minutes each place, sometimes it's 10-15 minutes, but it's still plenty of time to experience what you're there for. 3. Music is loud on the boat. There's a lot of waiting time between stops so they play music to drown out the engine noise and have a good time. If you want library quiet this is not the activity for you. 4. There's no room on the boat for anything other than sitting. Don't expect to lie down or walk around, and don't bring a bunch of stuff. Towel, sunscreen, phone (in waterproof pouch), cover up is all you need. But there's plenty of liquid beverages! 5. Don't bring spray sunscreen. They don't allow it on the boat because it makes the deck slippery. Just bring lotion and you're fine. And there's plenty of time to apply sunscreen between stops. 6. Bring your own beach towel, they do not loan but will sell you one if you forget yours. 7. Remember you're here to have fun!

    This is an understatement. From start to finish the day was PERFECT. Our whole family loved every bit - from the moment we left the dock, great music playing- and enjoyed the FAST ride to the beautiful Exumas. We made several stops throughout the day, each being more beautiful than the next. The whole day looked like a screensaver. Feeding rock iguanas, snorkeling Pablo Escobar’s plane, swimming with pigs, meeting nurse sharks, snorkeling the aquarium and hanging out on the most beautiful secluded beach ever. A delicious lunch was included that we’re still talking about. Captain Ricardo was terrific- we felt safe and comfortable with him in control the whole time. Kel and Emma are the.most.fun.people!!!!! They have great taste in music, and their dancing and happiness is contagious! Add them to the most beautiful place in the world and it truly makes for the best day in the Bahamas. They’re knowledgeable about the animals you encounter and super helpful with taking great pics/videos for you throughout the day.

    It was great. I loved the whole experience from the beginning. The team was great, they helped us with everything. I would highly recommend taking a lot of sunscreen, hats, glasses but other than that they provide with everything. Pick up and drop off we’re arranged for us. They also provided with breakfast, drinks and lunch at the local spot. The views were stunning. The whole experience with them was more than 5 stars. Highly highly recommend.

    Amazing experience ! Emma and her crew were wonderful. Very attentive and on point. The excursion was awesome! Most stops we were only our group for each, which was nice and exclusive. Food stop was delicious 😋. Waters were a little choppy on our way back but overall experience was great and I would recommend this to everyone.

    Absolutely amazing experience. The crew is fun, friendly and made sure everything was perfect. Ema, Cal and Captain Tony are the best. Would definitely do this again. The memories will last forever and was simply so beautiful and at times, breathtaking! We did the whole day excursion. 👍

    We had a wonderful time. This boat hauled to get to Exuma about an hour away from Nassau. The stops felt exclusive, not too busy. We were the only boat at the sunken plane, the live aquarium, lunch, and the private beach. Very few boats at the iguanas, pigs, and sharks. Recommend a hoodie for the wind and lots of sunscreen!

    I cannot recommend this tour enough! Do the full day. It’s worth everything. I’ve done two tours now in Nassau to the Exumas and I would always choose this company. They take care of you. It’s extremely safe and the crew is over the top good!!! Only suggestion I’d make is they had us get there an hour before departure and that wasn’t necessary. But they did provide transportation. No complaints other than that!

    We had a great time with Covin, Emma and Ricardo taking part in the Pink Sand and Pigs tour... great fun, great company and the lunch, snacks and endless rum punch were brilliant. Also convenient that they picked up at the hotel.

    Amazing time! Crew was the best. Loved their energy. Some beautiful views along the way and great times had. I have a new drink to perfect when I get home. Sky juice was on point all day. If you are looking for the best look no further!

    We loved our day trip on the Pink Sand and Pig tour. Our captain and first mate were awesome. We were picked up later then they told us from our hotel, the Continental breakfast was very disorganized as was the entire check in. Maybe because some people filed out forms online and some did not. We did not see a place to preorder lunch but took care of that when we arrived at the office. There were two different groups going out to two different places. Once we were separated into our group things ran much smoother. Lunch was good. Seeing the turtles and pigs was awesome. We would do another day trip with this group. Jason was our Captain and his first mate was awesome!

    Overall it was an incredible time! It was absolutely stunning! The crew was very helpful. The music was great! Energy was great. Few things that could have been better, my trip was rescheduled twice and switched to a different excursion due to not enough people coming. It’s not their fault, understandable. Pick up was supposed to be at 7am, they called at 7:20am saying bus is running late. By 8am I called them, they told me to take a taxi. Then was rushing me since the boat was supposed to leave at 8am, I had to pay for my taxi $40. No management was there to reinburse me like they said they would. Another suggestion, put a lock on the inside of bathroom door, a crew member opened the door while I was using the bathroom and was exposed. He apologized but still was uncomfortable. The picture package I got the $64 one 45 photos, most came out nice, but some sets there were 3/4 of the same pose. I wish there was more angles etc. Bring sunscreen the sun is out and fierce. Also be prepared the ride is bumpy. But like I said overall I truly enjoyed myself and the amount of beauty around me was breathtaking. Long day so bring your energy! 😁

    Great company and worth the price. They kept us well entertained on the boat ride. They have to much energy and are wonderful people. The stops are so pretty and well worth! Even though we get limited time in the stops, I enjoyed it. Very unique experience and good way to pack your day.

    We really enjoyed the Exuma Excursion - we were picked up on time from our hotel and the staff were friendly and personable getting us organized and into our boat groups. They had drinks and a few snacks on board (both of the alcoholic drinks were delicious, maybe too delicious). All of the stops were really cool, and my only complaint is that it felt a little rushed. I personally would have opted for one less stop if it meant a little more time at the others, though it's probably just a personal opinion. The restaurant they picked had really good food, and we got to eat on the porch with a really nice view. We opted for one of the photo packages and I think it was worth it not to have to worry about my phone getting wet. The pictures they took were plentiful and really nice, especially some of the candid ones. One thing I really appreciated is that we hit some rain on the way back and it was already a chilly day. They had windbreakers that we could borrow to stay warm. I would definitely recommend this trip, but it's very windy on the boat rides getting to locations. My only regret was not being more prepared for that especially after getting out of the water.

    This excursion was worth every penny we paid! The crew was excellent - simultaneously kept us safe and having loads of fun. The boat ride exceeded our expectations - I usually get seasick though I didn’t feel even a bit of queasiness. The speed, fresh air, and beautiful scenery was enough to keep my body distracted. And the stopovers were fantastic - including a delicious lunch. My family and I LOVED our time with Shore Thing and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.

    I recently had the privilege of embarking on an excursion trip with Shore Thing Escapes in the Bahamas, and I must say it was an experience of a lifetime. From the moment I stepped aboard their custom brand-new luxury performance boat, I knew I was in for something special. One of the highlights of the trip was interacting with the famous swimming pigs. These adorable creatures were an absolute delight, and being able to get up close and personal with them was an unforgettable experience. I also had the opportunity to face my fears and swim with majestic sharks, an exhilarating adventure that pushed me out of my comfort zone in the most thrilling way possible. But the excitement didn't stop there. Feeding native iguanas added another unique element to the trip. These fascinating creatures captured my attention with their striking appearance and gentle nature. It was truly a privilege to be able to interact with them in their natural habitat. What sets Shore Thing Escapes apart from other companies is their commitment to providing a luxurious and exclusive experience. From the moment I arrived at their dock and store front, I was greeted with warm hospitality and treated like a VIP. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt comfortable and had everything they needed throughout the day. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the trip. The provision of pastries, coffee, snacks, and beverages ensured that we were well taken care of and never went hungry or thirsty while onboard. The assortment of beers and specialty cocktails added a touch of indulgence to the experience, allowing us to relax and savor the moment. What truly impressed me about Shore Thing Escapes is their commitment to the environment. A portion of all proceeds goes back to helping marine life, and they actively strive to reduce plastic waste. By providing guests with reusable water bottles, they save over 150 water bottles from entering the ocean every day on just one boat. It's heartwarming to see a company that cares about the ecosystem and takes concrete steps to make a positive impact. If you're looking for a fun-filled experience in the Exumas, Shore Thing Escapes is the ultimate choice. With their top-notch service, breathtaking sights, and dedication to the environment, they truly offer an adventure like no other. I cannot recommend them enough, and I guarantee that you will come back with memories that will last a lifetime.

    My husband and I did the Pink Sands and Pigs tour on Dec. 26th. Everything we saw and did was amazing and beautiful. I will never forget this experience. This is definitely a must do activity if you're going Nassau and would like to explore nearby islands. First Mate Brano, Captain Cardo, Koven, and the lovely photographer Shanell were so kind and competent and provided top class service.
