Captain Larry Captain Mike and Sean were amazing! Great energy and fun. Loved the private beach. Would definitely go again.
Danielle_B, Apr 2026
Didn't get to go. Didn't recieve a cancelation noticed. Waited at the meeting spot for over two hours- essentially wasting my day in Nassau.
No communication. Would not recommend booking. Need a refund.

The waters were a bit rough due to wind on this day, but we snorkeled for about 30-40 mins and saw fishes and turtles. We then went and did a little hike through the jungle (bring good walking shoes) to end up at an amazing little bungalow type area complete with beach, layout chairs, and our bbq lunch. You can’t beat the view and just the sheer awe of where you are at. Boat driver is very experienced and papi was a great host. We got to feed pigs and they are very gentle.

The package I bought was no longer available when we got to the water taxi. They put us on a different package. Not the one we wanted. We didn’t even get to do what we paid to do. They allowed people to smoke on the excursion and people were outing their cigarettes in the water. One of the guests were very rude, loud and using profanity. They gave her a walkie talkie to talk to the captain and then she went up to see him. We were traveling at a high rate on the boat and I was very uncomfortable that a guest was allowed to go up and distract the captain. Some people got on the wrong boat and we had to make a detour. It was very disorganized and stressful. We saw one sea turtle and left. The swimming with pigs, the pigs pooped a BUNCH in the water and we couldn’t swim because we would be swimming in poop. The food was very disappointing.

We had an amazing time on this snorkeling tour! The crew was friendly, professional, and made everyone feel comfortable from the moment we got on the boat. The snorkeling spots were beautiful with tons of marine life, and the guides made sure everyone had a great view and felt safe in the water. It was a fun, well-organized trip and definitely one of the highlights of our vacation. Highly recommend!

The whole day was amazing. From booking, staff, boat ride, price, food, experience. This was the best excursion we have booked.
We snorkeled, saw some turtles, went to a beautiful beach, had some great food, and fed the pigs. Delaynie made a new friend with the captains daughter. Loved that our trip supported another family. #Shoretoshore was the name of the company.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for review, we glad that your experience was a wonderful time.

Overall it was nothing I would ever do again. There was a bit of a bait and switch happening here.
Pros:
- the boat captain was nice and the boats felt quite safe
- the snorkeling was nice
- we saw a couple of turtles
Cons:
- a lot of empty promises
- the experience advertises a rum punch and bottle water but is not given. When explicitly asked was told that's it's not available.
- we were vegetarian and so for those in the same boat don't expect to be able to eat.
- the private island club is not what it seems. It's a small shack with a very very small strip of beach. They do have some chairs and a few things like a clear kayak.
I would have rather booked a better rated and recommended one as the prices were all the same.

Was so amazing, amazing tour guides, beautiful day, best excursion I’ve ever done
Thank you for taking us back to see the turtles when it was more empty
Chabrie_W, Oct 2025
Great experience. Biggest thing is that we started 30 mins late, but otherwise, no complaints. Captain Tristan, super cute, and his co-captain were very professional. Good for the price
Teresa_V, Oct 2025
Captain Mike and Big Ray kept the ride over to Rose Island fun and entertaining. The snorkeling was fun with a variety of fish. And the feeding the swimming pigs was definitely the highlight. On Rose Island, the food was delicious and the island itself is stunning.
Staci_S, Sep 2025
Ignore all negative reviews, tis excursion was amazing. the beach club is a work in progress but the available amenities were fantastic. the only thing negative i would say is when you get to the beach club the rum punches are $15 and the cup is quite small.. get your fill of the free rum punch on the boat lol
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Hi Staci
We are glad you enjoyed yourself. We hope to see you soon 😊
Susan_K, Aug 2025
Wonderful experience! The captain and crew were kind and helpful. Our 5 year old granddaughter loved snorkeling with the fish and looking for turtles.
Tanya_B, Jul 2025
Captain Mike and his crew was excellent and fun. Had a blast !!! The private beach was epic. And the snorkeling was really fun. Beautiful waters !!
Jennifer_Z, Dec 2024
The excision was not as intended. We had a bumpy ride and did not visit both islands. We were not served lunch and the excursion was cut short.
Chris_B, Aug 2024
We had a great time. The crew adapted the tour due to the weather. In August the weather can be a little challenging but they made it work. Well worth it.
Jaynie_M, Aug 2024
Apparently, this tour was canceled due to weather. Nobody contacted us. We showed up to the place, and there was nobody there from this company. Another Business Was there and were able to contact the people that run this shore to shore excursions and the employee told them that they canceled all their tours for that day and that we should’ve received some sort of notification. We did not receive any notification, text, email or any sort of communication telling us that it was canceled. Thankfully, we were able to join the other excursion who took us out and we had a very wonderful and successful day. Which shows they should not have canceled the trip to start with. Now we have yet to receive a refund And our credit card still has the charge for this excursion that we did not go on.

Brian and Larry were great, fun time had by everyone on board. Highly recommended to all, families and couples on board all seemed to be happy. Lunch at the Hideaway floating bar was cool!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for taking time out to write this great review! We're so happy you enjoyed your time with us.
Stephanie_J, Mar 2024
We LOVED our guide, Tristan, and the booking agent Ms. Curry, so incredibly friendly, helpful, and fun. The snorkeling was our favorite part, especially when we got to see the sea turtles 😭 so amazing! We also loved the lunch and chance to eat, drink, hang, and swim at the floating bar after our last stop. Only complaint is that we didn’t have more time 😊 10/10 recommend booking
Laetitia_S, Feb 2024
Amazing day with maley and mikey thanks you So much you make my day wanderfull for my birthday !!!!!
Martin_R, Jan 2024
The boat was not suitable for snorkeling trips because it did not have low access to the water. People with limited mobility, older people and children in particular had great problems getting back to the ship.
My wife was looking forward to the trip, but had decided not to go on the dives for fear of not getting back on the boat.
The two dives were far too short at 15 minutes each.
The boat was a speedboat and the crew had fun making the guests wet by driving in extreme curves.
Otherwise the crew was friendly and the stop on the island was very nice.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
We are sorry that we could not accommodate your wife. Hopefully by your next visit we would have a lower ramp for her
Judy_G, Oct 2023
Captain Mike and Jamal were fantastic and made the excursion just perfect
The weather, visibility and plentiful fish and sea turtles were terrific
Lisa_G, Sep 2023
Jamal and Mike were professional and fun. The whole day was great. Of course, the pigs were the highlight of the day. Would go again!
anitamaria_b, Aug 2023
Great turtles to see and watch on our tour. Pugs were an extra as the weather was not so good but we made the best of it. We were outside. !!
Brian_B, Jul 2023
Our family had a wonderful, memorable tour. The whole process was smooth and professional. They took us to some mind boggling beautiful reefs full of colorful fish and a wide variety of coral. We were also fortunate enough to see some sea turtles. The tour stopped on rose island which was a highlight and a real treat. Overall all the captain and first mate were knowledgeable, professional and charismatic. Our son even had the chance to play second mate which was the highlight of the trip for him. Take a tour with these guys… you’ll have a fantastic time!
