i was somewhat skeptical about our excursion, i was pleqsantly surprised. we had a private tour, visited the swimming pigs, swam with the sharks, snorkeled in thunderball grotto, had an amazing linch at the yaht club a d rounded out the day at Iguana island, joly cow they were everywhere. i would highly recommend Island time escapes and captain William Thompson, uou wont be disappointed.
The highlight of our trip to Exuma!!! Our Captain William was amazing, he made the trip especially for my family. Saw amazing starfish, snorkeled, just got to relax. Quincy, the first mate, made everything so easy for us. I would definitely take this boat trip again. A must do if traveling to Exuma!!!!
Captain William and Q were great. They knew all of the best spots..from starfish sandbars and secuded island seashell beaches, snorkling blue holes to floating a lazy river…we did it all. This is a experience you don’t want to miss if you visit Exuma!
He took us to all the best spots and even went out of his way to make sure the kiddos got a kid friendly snorkel environment. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the exumas.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Jose! It was a pleasure having you and your family aboard. We're especially happy the little ones enjoyed snorkeling in a safe, kid friendly spot that's exactly the kind of experience we love creating. Thank you for trusting Captain William and the crew with your day in Exuma. We hope to welcome you back for another Island Time adventure soon! 🌴⏳️✨️
Drinks (including alcoholic), snacks, good music and good vibes.
Thanks look forward to see you all again sometime.
