Book this !! What an experience! We booked with Mutton Fish tours and Pedro our captain was the best! He went above and beyond to make our day special. We snorkeled and saw beautiful fish and sea turtles. My daughter even touched one. He had food prepared and ready. The food was great and the Rum punch!! He shared a lot of history of the islands. I would definitely book this again. It was work every penny. Thank you Pedro for a great Day!!

We had a good morning with our friendly tour guides. The boat was comfortable but slow: most of our morning was spent travelling. We had 20 minutes at Gilligans island, which was good. We then went on to Green Cay, where we saw some turtles from the boat for about 15 minutes. The turtles were great. We then went on to Rose Island for the pigs. The large rocks in the sea made it difficult and painful to get out of the way of the pigs if they came straight at you (we had been told to always feed them from the side) and the pigs were huge! Even the “little piglet” was bigger than expected. Don’t pay for photos to be taken! We were promised them within 24 hours but they haven’t come. On the itinerary for the day we should have had the opportunity to snorkel on a reef, but that didn’t happen. It also promised a Bahamian meal, but the only food we were offered was crisps/snacks and supermarket sandwiches. Altogether we felt the trip was poor value for money.

Captain Pedro & his 1st Mate, Andrew, were exceptional! Our family of 5 had the yacht to ourselves & were given tons of history lessons on all the different islands. Refreshments, lunch & snacks were provided (our kids were especially happy with the chips & Oreos). Captain Pedro took us to Turtle Cay where we all got to jump in & snorkel with the turtles. Then we headed off to Rose Island to feed & swim with the pigs. What an unforgettable experience!! We ended our tour by going to a reef and snorkeling. The reef was breathtaking & the variety of fish was incredible. Can’t wait to come back & do a fishing trip with Captain Pedro again! (PS…his Rum Punch is amazing!!)
Amazing

Unbelievably kind. They went out of their way to make my daughter’s pig encounter dream come true, running a last minute extra trip just for us (after trip with another company had been cancelled). I could not recommend Mutton Fish Tours more highly. Absolutely amazing!

while swimming with the pigs was amazing, and what i had hoped it would be, the rest of the excursion was not available that day due to rough seas which was disappointing. One other thing to be aware of that is not disclosed when you book this tour is that there is a "landing fee" to get onto the island. 15$ per person each way to have someone bring you to shore from the boat, as our boat could not get close enough.. that ended up being an additional 60$ for my husband and i for a already 700$ excursion.

The guys, Pedro and Andrew, were very nice and personable, boat was older but decent. Ad stated that there would be fishing, snorkeling with turtles, swimming with pigs, and lunch...all we received was fishing (didn't catch anything) and snorkeling with turtles. We were told that in order to swim with pigs it would be $40 additional per person, and that if we had wanted lunch, we had to have requested that beforehand. Finally, the day ended with being stranded for two hours because the boat broke down and we were towed in. No discount other than some "free" beer that we assumed was included with the "drinks and snacks" advertised. So, other than beautiful water and a turtle, we received nothing that was advertised and left the broken down boat hungry and disappointed. Ultimately, false advertising.

The boat is a good value for the money. There are other boats that may be a little newer, but for this price point my group was satisfied. The crew was awesome!! We had nine girls celebrating our 50th birthdays and we couldn't have asked for a better day. The service was amazing!! We had a great day! Thank you.
