The boat crew was great. Snorkeling was awesome. I thought we were going to swim with the turtles. Our boat broke down and they had to send another boat to bring us back in two trips I was worried about not getting back in time for gangway up, but we made it back with time to spare.
Great!

Crew was fantastic. Energetic friendly. Food was delicious. Did not know the pigs would be there. Would have liked a little more time snorkeling.

Had a great time on this excursion. Saw turtles, snorkeled in a reef, fed pigs and drank rum. Special shout out to Rashaun who went above and beyond for us when we had to rebook. All the staff was great. Would definitely book again.
Don't waste your money!

Tour was scheduled for 9:00 a.m. We took a taxi from the cruise ship, and arrived at about 8:20. The tour operator was not there yet, so we waited with several others. Around 9:45, we were still waiting. We tried calling the tour operator, no answer. Called Viator, who attempted to get in touch with them, but again no answer. We finally received a message from the tour operator that the tour had been rescheduled for 10:00. After waiting for an hour and 50 minutes, we requested a refund since our ship was only in port for about 8 hours, this tour was supposed to last for 4 hours, and we had already wasted 2 of those hours just sitting around waiting! The cruise ship would not wait for us if we did not arrive on time, so we were not willing to chance it. It's been 10 days since we were supposed to take the tour, and we are still fighting for our refund because the tour operator has not responded back to Viator regarding our refund! No communication from them at all! Needless to say we wasted $50 on taxi rides to get to and from an empty boat slot! Don't waste your money!
Affordable, fun, family friendly!

My family (me, my husband, my 3yo, and 5month old) went on this excursion and had the BEST TIME!! I’d say it’s geared more towards adults/teens, but my toddler was able to participate in all activities while me & my husband took turns holding our infant. I have a fear of boats, but our captain Ken & his mate Papi gave us a smooth ride and it was so peaceful!! Both kids fell asleep on the way there and back. I’ve seen some negative reviews, but I wouldn’t think to give this a negative review. I think the people giving them the reviews are just very high-end and picky. Yes, the island is under construction. But that did not prevent us from experiencing anything we were promised.
Worth your money, great experience.

Really 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!
Pig Island, snorkel, turtles, lunch and drinks!!

This 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!!!!!!

I 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!
