Beautiful waters, beautiful quiet beach, beautiful snorkeling

5.004 Winds tour is the very best way to experience Nassau's small quiet beaches and ride on the stunning turquoise waters. Our family of 12 had a wonderful half day snorkel tour guided by Captain Curry and Captain Missick!! Attentive to detail, excellent communication, made the best use of time and places. Time with them was very special. Snorkeling the waters viewing the coral, beautiful tropical fish, sea turtles and a manta ray made the day unforgetable to all.
Second time with 4winds! Girls trip!

5.00This was my second time to Nassau and second time with 4 winds and Captain Missick. The first time we came several years ago, was a family trip. I was with my husband and kids. Our weather was not great but he made the day as enjoyable as it possibly could have been. Extremely professional and accommodating. Communication before and during our trip was fabulous. Always quick to respond to my questions. The second time we came (just last week) was just myself and a friend (so two females). We did a private tour and he made us feel so safe! He has another person on the boat with him and they were both incredibly professional. We snorkeled the reef, snorkeled with turtles, and explored two deserted islands! I highly recommend Captain Missick! My friend and I never once felt unsafe. We had the BEST day. I will never come to Nassau and not book with 4 winds!
Best trip ever

5.00Don’t book with a big company that doesn’t care about you. Captain Missick and First Mate Bullard were the best tour guides ever. The entire trip is all about what you want. Skip the huge lines and crowds and experience what area really has to offer. Tourist traps are all about getting your money. 4 winds actually cares about your time and will show you the difference. My daughters and I thank you again for your time. Much respect Steve Whitston
Absolute amazing day!

5.00This boat trip was truly the highlight of our week long cruise! Captain Missick and Bullard were absolutely amazing! They took us to wonderful snorkeling areas to see fish and turtles! We also went to Rose island which was truly paradise. Would highly recommend this excursion as these guys are truly the best hosts!
Best half day private excursion (w/ sea turtles)

5.00This cruise was the highlight of our vacation. If you are on the fence, book this now. You will make unforgettable memories with your family. Captain Missick and Dillon took very good care of us. They were very knowledgeable of the area. They were patient, answered all of our questions, took photos to share with us, and provided snacks and drinks. They knew the best place to snorkel and to stop at a private beach. Gillian’s island was really cool with some great views. We went to Turtle Island. They spotted the sea turtles and dropped us in the water so we could swim with them! Absolutely amazing! We will be talking about this excursion for a long time. Book it now. You won’t be disappointed.
Best experience ever!!

Best half day excursion

5.00This was the highlight of our trip! We had the best day snorkeling, boating, and swimming around the island with four adults and our young kids. Captain Missick and Dylan were awesome, very personable and knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable. They provided endless snacks and drinks for all the kids, and drinks for adults as well. They brought us to three very different spots to check out which were all equally amazing but the private beach was my favorite, it was the most beautiful place I've ever seen. We never felt rushed at all and we didn't want it to end! Highly recommend this tour.
Perfect family outing

5.00Our family of five adults spent a week in the Bahamas and this 1/2 day outing was the perfect excursion. We had our 21 year old twins and 18 year old with us to celebrate the last high school graduation. The Captain and First Mate were friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused to make sure we had a relaxing, fun, and safe day. Having the boat to ourselves was a huge plus compared to larger excursions. We were able to tailor the length of our four stops without being rushed to the next stop. The in-water experiences were the clear winner. Snorkeling at the reef with an abundance of fish and at the turtle island was awesome. Be sure to bring an underwater camera to capture the memories in the crystal clear waters. We'll definitely look up 4 Winds Tours if and when we return to the Bahamas.
What a beautiful day! Communication was fantastic!

Thank you for going out of your way to use your stellar swimming and snorkeling skills to find my husbands part to his camera! We will definitely be back!
