Great Trip

5.00We relied on reviews to book our tour while we stayed at Baha Mar. It didn’t disappoint. We were picked up and dropped off at the meeting point. We were able to pick the order in which we cruised. We did the sea turtles, the beach, then ended with snorkeling. It was our best day there. Despite iffy weather, it held out and wound up being one of the better days we were there - started out cloudy, ended sunny! When we go back we will definitely be booking another trip! The communication and customer service was amazing.
Best family day on the water!

5.00You can stop looking for the best tour in Nassau, this is it! Our family of 5 had THE BEST DAY of our cruise with Cap and Bullard! They let us tell them exactly what we wanted to do and they made it happen and we stayed AHEAD of all the crowds so our adventures were never busy. We went snorkeling over the coral reef, swimming with sea turtles and even saw a sting ray! Then they took us to the best fishing spots where the guys just kept reeling them in. We will book with 4 Winds every time we come to Nassau from now on, there is no better day in the Bahamas. The cost per person is well worth it and we never once felt unsafe doing a private tour.
Highlight of our trip to Nassau

5.00Going out on the water with Captain Missick was the highlight of our trip to the Bahamas. It was so nice to have a private tour and the Captain is very kind and laid back. I would recommend him to any of our friends traveling to Nassau.
Amazing tour experience

5.00Amazing experience. So glad we used 4 winds. The day was perfect from start to finish, we never felt rushed and they made sure we avoided the large crowds. Watching the larger boats go by with lots of people made us happy we chose 4 winds which was more personal. The operators were the nicest guys and always had smiles in their faces while playing great music the whole time. They chose locations that had us swimming with the pigs, fish and turtles in our group of 6 and the kids and adults were really loving the experience. This tour was the highlight of an already great vacation. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to book one of these tours.
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!!
