This full-day Exuma Day Away boat excursion departs from New Providence Island and covers approximately 150 nautical miles round trip, lasting about eight and a half hours. The tour includes five main stops across the Exuma Cays. The first stop is at a wildlife reserve where visitors can spend around twenty minutes feeding rock iguanas and swimming at the beaches within their natural habitat. Next, the boat travels to Compass Cay for a thirty-minute opportunity to swim with sharks in either shallow or deep water. The main attraction is Pig Beach at Big Major Cay, where guests spend thirty minutes swimming with, feeding, and photographing the original swimming pigs. On the return journey, there is a brief twenty-minute stop at a shifting sand bar that appears at low tide; the exact sand bar visited varies depending on conditions. The final stop is near Norman's Cay, where participants view the sunken plane wreck associated with Pablo Escobar. The excursion includes a local captain and guide, bottled water, alcoholic beverages, lunch, and all landing or facility fees. Towels are not provided and must be brought by guests. The minimum age for participation is three years, and children must be accompanied by an adult. A vegetarian lunch option is available if requested at booking. This long-distance sea trip is not suitable for toddlers, infants, nursing or pregnant persons, those with recent back injuries or athletic ailments, elderly persons with limited mobility, or similar conditions. Guests should bring towels and sunblock and provide their accommodation details for pickup arrangements.
