This is my favorite excursion when visiting Nassau or Paradise Island. This was the second time my husband and I have taken this trip and it was just as awesome as the first time. From the iguanas, stingrays,sharks, snorkeling,beach, fabulous lunch and open bar, you couldn't ask for a better day. Fortunately we had beautiful weather for our powerboat adventure,... More

my husband and I took the power boat adventure and thoroughly enjoyed out day. Feeding the iguana was amazing but was topped by actually feeding a stingray pieces of fish by hand and the "shark show" as our hosted baited them in front of us ( with us back on the beach.) When we snorkeled, we saw a beautiful creature... More

I have been on a similar trip in the cayman islands, I thought this beat it because of the uniqueness. Overview: leave harbor ~930a and head to Allan's Cay which is about 40miles/an hour away. I would recommend looking at the weather beforehand and book a calm day. We betted with a 40%chance of rain in Nassau and went ahead... More

Hands down, one of the most amazing days ever spent! The Exumas are more beautiful than words can describe. The team at Powerboat have this adventure planned to perfection. The ride was awesome with competent, intellegent captains and crew, the iguanas were fascinating, but when you got to the island, that is where the show starts. From feeding the stringrays... More

Money well spent! I had so much fun. It's a beautiful boat ride out. First stop was feeding these humongous iguanas grapes with a stick. The view was amazing, surrounded by clear blue water. Then another short ride to the island where you watch the team feed sharks by the shore. everyone gets to feed the sting rays. The snorkeling... More

Great experience, from feeding iguanas, stingrays and sharks. Snorkeling was great too, got some great underwater shots and video. Saw a variety of fish, and sharks. Got to see a really really large lobster as well. All in all a very enjoyable trip. Highly recommended. More

We saw the powerboats on our first trip to Nassau, and finally went this year. What a great experience. From Yanick who took my reservation online and then remembered us when we checked in on the dock, to Jason and Bernardo who made our family feel like we were visiting friends instead of purchasing an excursion, this trip exceeded our...

Although we hesitated a bit when we saw the price tag for Powerboat Adventures, we are so glad we decided to go. My husband, two daughters and I went over Spring Break. The boats were beasts and although the ocean was pretty choppy, the ride was relatively smooth. It is a LONG ride out to the first stop and our... More

Powerboat Adventures was an excellent tour! I read many reviews before booking it and was glad we did. The boat ride was about an hour long. Then you had the rest of the time to enjoy the day before heading back. Sharks were everywhere! Our kids loved it! The food was excellent! We had fresh Mahi Mahi and it was... More

After reading up on the tour we were really keen to go, to say the least, but I am happy tell that the trip (by) far exceed our high expectations. The sea was rough, but our excellent captain (Ryan) mastered the waves by driving very actively, still he stopped a couple of time to check on everybody and even asked... More
