This full-day boat tour starts in Nassau on New Providence Island and heads to the Exuma Cays.

Visitors can feed these iguanas and observe them up close. The boat then travels through clear, colorful shallow waters and past glowing sandbanks. Next is a 15-minute visit to Norman's Cay to view Pablo Escobar’s sunken smuggling plane from the 1980s, now an artificial reef resting in shallow water. Afterwards, the tour stops for about 30 minutes at Compass Cay, where guests can swim with nurse sharks known for their calm nature. The tour continues with a 40-minute stop at Big Major Cay to interact with the famous swimming pigs, which swim out to greet boats. Following this, a one-hour lunch featuring Bahamian island flavors is served on board. The day finishes with an hour spent relaxing on sandbars or beaches with clear water, weather and tides permitting. Included are carbonated drinks, bottled water, snacks, and lunch. Alcohol is available only to guests 21 and older.
