5.00Really enjoyed my time with Shore2Shore on their turtle excursion. The crew were funny, welcoming and knowledgeable. Lots of photo opportunities on the way to the beach club and even more opportunities when you arrive. We even got to see pigs although not advertised. All and all I would book again 10/10. Thanks to Larry, Capt Ken, Rashad, Darcy and Cody. My birthday trip excursion was a blast!

5.00This was an amazing experience, I 100% recommend!! I came to Bahamas with a group of girls to celebrate a friends 30th birthday. Captain Ken, Larry, Rashad, Darcy and Cody made sure we all had a safe and fun time. This excursion included: snorkelling, bbq on private island and good vibes on the boat. This excursion was also black girl friendly :)
10/10 recommend!!!!!!

5.00I don’t even know where to begin! This was an amazing package. 100% worth it! The highlight of my day was definitely the snorkelling. We were very well taken cared of by the team. We were provided with food and drinks. There was music on boat that had good vibes. All in all 10/10 recommend. I want to really shout out the team Capt Ken, Larry, Rashad, Darcy and Cody. They all really made us and the birthday girl feel welcomed and special. They made our time worth while!

1.00Didn't get to go. Didn't recieve a cancelation noticed. Waited at the meeting spot for over two hours- essentially wasting my day in Nassau. No communication. Would not recommend booking. Need a refund.
Can’t beat the view

5.00The waters were a bit rough due to wind on this day, but we snorkeled for about 30-40 mins and saw fishes and turtles. We then went and did a little hike through the jungle (bring good walking shoes) to end up at an amazing little bungalow type area complete with beach, layout chairs, and our bbq lunch. You can’t beat the view and just the sheer awe of where you are at. Boat driver is very experienced and papi was a great host. We got to feed pigs and they are very gentle.
Huge disappointment to our Bahamas vacation!

2.00DONT BOOK THIS TOUR! Pros: The Crew were so lively and helpful. They were trying their best. Cons: The snorkeling area was nothing like the amazing photos they advertise. The waters were way too choppy. They only give you snorkel face piece, NO flippers, so it’s difficult to actually swim and see anything. The time is very short - 10 minutes if you finally get off the boat. At first, they didn’t even mention taking you to see the turtles. I had to go ask one of the crew members. He told me the weather is not right for it. So I was very disappointed because I specifically picked this tour for the turtles. Then we were taken to a “private” beach that was still in construction (literally a digger and a barely built structure and an older gentleman putting tiles into what may be a swimming pool someday. It felt really unsafe to be there. Not at all what ai pictured the experience would be. I didn’t want to do anything with the pigs, but since we weren’t going to see the turtles, we decided to see what the pigs were like. Instead of cute piglets, they were huge male pigs running around. There were way too many people to actually enjoy the experience and two of the pigs had projectile diarrhea shoot out. My daughter and I got the heck out of the area. It was so nasty. Lunch was a joke - a small piece of chicken, even smaller corn on the cob (maybe 3 rows of kernels) and rice. It took about 20 minutes for the crew to actually land the boat, since there was no proper dock to even land on. The boat got stuck in the sand, trying to leave the island. It felt like I had paid for the Bad News Bear boat instead of a beautiful, boat experience as described on the listing. I feel very mislead. The first photo of the couple snorkeling with the turtle is staged and super misleading. You aren’t even allowed to swim with the turtles because they live in an island protected. I would NOT recommend this tour. This tour really ruined what was a beautiful vacation in the Bahamas for us.
Excellent Trip well worth the $$

3.00The package I bought was no longer available when we got to the water taxi. They put us on a different package. Not the one we wanted. We didn’t even get to do what we paid to do. They allowed people to smoke on the excursion and people were outing their cigarettes in the water. One of the guests were very rude, loud and using profanity. They gave her a walkie talkie to talk to the captain and then she went up to see him. We were traveling at a high rate on the boat and I was very uncomfortable that a guest was allowed to go up and distract the captain. Some people got on the wrong boat and we had to make a detour. It was very disorganized and stressful. We saw one sea turtle and left. The swimming with pigs, the pigs pooped a BUNCH in the water and we couldn’t swim because we would be swimming in poop. The food was very disappointing.
