🐷🌴 Best Day Ever: Our Exuma Powerboat Adventure from Nassau

If you're dreaming of turquoise waters, wild encounters, and unforgettable memories, look no further than the Exuma Powerboat Excursion—hands down the best day trip we've ever taken from Nassau, Bahamas!

🚤 The Journey Begins

We booked our adventure through Exuma Escapes, and from the moment we stepped aboard the sleek powerboat, the excitement was palpable. The ride itself was exhilarating—cutting through crystal-clear waters with the wind in our hair and the sun on our faces.

🦎 Iguana Island

First stop: Allen’s Cay, home to the endangered Bahamian Rock Iguanas. These colorful creatures greeted us like locals, and feeding them was both surreal and hilarious. It felt like stepping into a nature documentary!

 

🦈 Swimming with Sharks

Next up was Compass Cay, where we swam with friendly nurse sharks. Yes, swam. They glided past us like gentle giants, and the experience was surprisingly peaceful and awe-inspiring.

 

🐖 Pig Beach

Then came the moment we’d been waiting for—Big Major Cay, aka Pig Beach! These famous swimming pigs were adorable, playful, and totally photogenic. Feeding them carrots while they paddled up to us was a bucket-list moment.

 

🍽️ Local Flavors

Lunch was served at a charming local restaurant, where we enjoyed island-style hospitality. The flavors were as vibrant as the scenery.

🌊 Turquoise Views & Private Beach

The final stop was a secluded private beach, where we lounged, snorkeled, and soaked in the stunning hues of the Exuma waters. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day.
