My wife and I went on the half-day Ocean Safari excursion from Sandals Emerald Bay. Some of the details are in other reviews, so I'll just confirm that we saw and fed the iguanas on Nic Cage's island, walked the hill to the incredible views, saw Tim & Faith's island and home, snorkeled around a very cool reef, looked down...

I took the morning tour on the 4-hour excursion in May 2012. The 35 ft Power Cat is perfect for going fast and slow through the Exuma Cays. We had no trouble finding shells piercing through the sand. Our captain and first mate kept us well informed and offered us soda, water, beer and cookies. The different colors of the... More

Im going to be as fair as I can, being that me and the group of guys that were with me are from the gulf coast and do a lot of fishing. We all own our own boats and all have gone on many guided fishing trips. I just wanted to be clear before I start my review so that... More

An absolutely fantastic tour for a very reasonable charge with 2 other couples booked through James at the tours center/ Sandals/Emerald Bay. Steven Cole, sixth generation Bahamian, was outstanding as our Captain guiding his 26ft. launch out of Georgetown harbor, through mangrove isles, the whitest and largest sandbar we have ever seen, great snorkling at Fowl Cay and truly excellent...

I never post anything, but I do read them! But for the Thunderball 007, it was the best excursion we've ever taken and it's worth writing about. It was absolutely beautiful and gives you a true feel for the Exumas. I was not disappointed about anything, it's amazing to see the iguanas, pigs (loved them) and even the sharks. Don't... More

I take no satisfaction what so ever in writing this because the Island Routes staff at the Sandals bent over backwards to finally get me on the fishing trip, and the boat captain did an OK job on the trip, but A) the headquarters in Jamaica literally never forwarded my reservation to the Sandals in Exuma. I finally had to... More

My wife and I recently celebrated our anniversay on Great Exuma staying at the Sandals Emerald Bay. My wife gave me a fishing trip as an anniversary gift. Island routes arranged a trip with Olie. While the fishing was dificult due to strong winds, my guide was knowledgeable and I thoroughly enjoyed myself catching a number of fish. If I... More
