From swimming with majestic nurse sharks to exploring underwater caves, this is the bucket-list Exuma experience, paced exactly how you want it.

What You'll Experience

Because you have the boat for a full 8 hours, we are able to cruise further south to hit Exuma's most iconic, globally recognized destinations:


Swim with the Original Exuma Pigs (Big Major Cay)

Visit the world-famous Pig Beach at Big Major Cay. Hop into the crystal-clear water and swim alongside these friendly, world-renowned pigs in their original, natural habitat.


Snorkel the 007 Thunderball Grotto

Dive into cinematic history. We'll guide you to the hollowed-out island featured in the James Bond film Thunderball. Snorkel through hidden underwater entrances into a massive, sunlit cavern teeming with vibrant coral and tropical fish.


Swim with Nurse Sharks at Compass Cay

Experience an unforgettable adrenaline rush as you slip into the warm waters of the Compass Cay marina to swim and float surrounded by a fever of friendly, gentle nurse sharks.


Walk the Hidden Sandbars

Step off the boat into ankle-deep, electric blue water. We time our visits with the dropping tides to let you walk on pristine, temporary islands of pure white sand; perfect for incredible photos.


Encounter Bahamian Rock Iguanas

Visit a secluded cay where prehistoric-looking Bahamian Rock Iguanas rule the beach. Watch them scurry out from the brush to greet you as you step onto the shore.


Dock at Staniel Cay or Black Point

Around midday, we will dock at a vibrant local settlement like Staniel Cay or Black Point. You'll have the opportunity to step ashore, stretch your legs, and grab a delicious, authentic Bahamian lunch at a waterfront restaurant (Note: The cost of lunch is not included in the charter price).
