What To Expect
Paradise Island
All aboard Cay Island Tours! Something nautical and newfangled now navigates Nassau’s harbor, above the coral reef and when the seas allow, over an old shipwreck! We are talking about a seacraft that looks like a UFO (unidentifiable floating object) with its sleek, semi-submersive design and 10-by-7-foot-monocular view. The vessels are European-crafted 37’ Lookers, are not just glass-bottom boats; guests get an underwater view with a fish-eyed monocular. The boat’s build includes the innovative underwater fin; a curved winglike surface that is designed to lift a boat in motion, by means of reaction upon its surface from the water through which it moves – this is called a hydrofoil. We are proud to announce that this product is eco-conscious. Our guests view the delicate marine life without caging, catching, or contact, which allows the biodiversity of the reef to thrive as it was naturally intended to.

5.00What a beautiful excursion!!! We saw sea turtles, nurse sharks, bull sharks and a wide array of tropical fish! I totally understood that we might not see any sea life, but the crew knew the spots to take us. Captain J & T were both very knowledgeable & entertaining! This tour was WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!
Nice getaway

3.00Captain Turbo and Tory did a great job but the trip is lacklustre. First might I suggest that they clean the glass bottom!! Quite dirty so viewing was a challenge. The sites chosen for glass bottom viewing are mediocre. A not very exciting shipwreck and a brief time around a man made harbour break wall. It was nice to be out on the water and the highlight was feeding the fish some bread. As I said the staff were good and the day was beautiful. Can’t say I recommend it.
Hydro planing is so fun!

5.00Soo fun! Captain Turbo and Captain Jay were fantastic! Full of energy and knowledge. There is nothing more we could have wanted. The admission fee was well worth the duration and the sights we saw. The boat was safe and fun! Great music and snacks aboard. I would definitely recommend.
Exciting adventure with friendly tour guides

5.00We just got back from our glass bottom boat excursion and it was an absolutely amazing adventure! Even on a windy day with choppy water (to put it gently) every minute with Captain Turbo and Tory was fun and they had a ton of interesting information to share. Be sure to add a bag of flaming hot cheetos to your bag for the excursion along with your camera, you'll be glad you did!
A fun and educational way to see Nassau from a different point of view.

5.00Captain Turbo and Tory were our guides and gave us such a memorable experience. From great music to commentary, we had such a great time. They both know so much and were eager to pass on their knowledge about the Bahamas. We snorkeled for a while over a reef and then got to dock near a beautiful beach and swim/snorkel more. They also showed us around the harbor more on our way back. Snacks and drinks were provided.
Great time on the water
