Exciting and unforgettable adventures await with a variety of excursions available including:

THUNDERBALL LUXURY TOUR

Welcome aboard the "Exzooma", a 35 ft. Sea Rocket that can travel over extremely shallow water. Embark upon your journey from the sleepy settlement of Barreterre where you’ll cruise by celebrity homes, see large iguanas in their natural habitat and hang out at incredible beaches while your knowledgeable crew entertains you. Take snorkeling to a new level with an amazing guided tour in the canyons and caves of the famous Thunderball Grotto. It’s an animal lover’s paradise as you can play with the "swimming pigs" and jump into the clear blue waters to feed friendly sharks at the exclusive Compass Cay. Finish the day with the world’s best "home-made rum cake" on a perfect two-mile-long sandbar in the middle of nowhere. Snacks, beverages, beers and lunch at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club are included. See everything the Exumas have to offer on this adventurous excursion!

EXUMA CAYS OCEAN SAFARI

Enjoy a fun-filled, action-packed excursion aboard a 35 ft. custom designed Power Cat while you snorkel, beach comb and experience all the beauty of The Exumas in one tour. Your captain and first mate will entertain you with excellent knowledge and first-class service as you cruise in and out of over 20 magnificent, little known cays with several stops along the way. Take incredible photos atop an island with 360-degree views of the Exuma Cays. Visit the endangered Bahamian rock Iguana at an island, which the original natives of the Bahamas once called home. Circle past the million-dollar privately owned islands of celebrities, and speed across waters only inches deep as stingrays race across the bottom. And swim through a lively reef with magnificent colors while a nearby virgin sandbar awaits your exploration.

ECO HARBOUR TOUR ADVENTURE BAHAMAS

Basque in the Bahamian sun while keeping your eyes glued to the water, for you never know what ocean animals will swim by to say hello. Fish, turtles and stingrays are just the start on this leisurely tour. Small groups of no more than 8 depart from the beautiful development of February Point aboard a pristinely kept 26 ft. Twin Vee power cat with a true seafaring Captain. He will then take you on an unhurried journey around the historic Elizabeth harbor. Be amazed as the captain guides the boat through the beautiful narrow cuts and hundreds of shades of blue that can be found in the Moriah Marine Park. Enjoy walking ankle deep along a submerged sandbar, while you search for sand dollars and shells at your own pace before donning snorkel gear and encountering colorful fish and reef life.
