ABOUT THE TRIP Experience a true taste of paradise on this unforgettable boat tour. Swim with the famous Exuma pigs and interact with the friendly nurse sharks at Compass Cay. Relax on breathtaking sandbars—shallow, narrow channels of crystal-clear blue water and stunning white sand that emerge at low tide. Discover vibrant marine life beneath the surface and enjoy the peaceful seclusion that sets this destination apart from the rest of the Bahamas. Adventure awaits at the legendary sunken plane from 1970, once owned by Pablo Escobar, now resting just offshore and ready to be explored. For more excitement, dive into nature’s own bubble bath at Thunderball Grotto, a mesmerizing underwater cave teeming with exotic marine life. This hidden gem, with its small, secretive entrance, was famously featured in the James Bond film Never Say Never Again, making it a must-visit snorkeling spot. Continue your journey to one of the most picturesque islands in Exuma, inhabited solely by friendly iguanas eager to greet visitors. Along the way, take in the stunning sights of celebrity-owned cays and luxury estates belonging to stars like David Copperfield, John Fry, Oprah Winfrey, and Nicolas Cage. With scenic views, incredible wildlife encounters, and the perfect soundtrack to complement your adventure, this tour is an unforgettable way to experience the magic of the Bahamas. WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED Tips are not included, but are always appreciated.

We had an absolutely wonderful time on our tour! Captain was very accommodating b/c we had to reschedule our time due. We were delayed overnight in Miami due to weather & Captain Rufus went over & above to make sure we would still get our tour in! I highly recommend Captain Rufus & his mate Preston was great as well
Capt Rufus and First Mate Preston are an amazing team! Capt Rufus is a 25 year veteran of the Bahamian Navy and has been navigating the waters since the Pablo Escobar plane crash in 1986! They treat you like family and have all of the connections with everyone. Very accommodating and we can’t wait to travel with them again!
