Long day, worth every minute
Pigs, iguanas, sharks at Compass Cay and water that doesn't look real. Take the seasickness tablet.

Departs Paradise Island · Tour · Full day (10–11 hrs)
A full-day run south to the Exuma Cays by fast boat: the swimming pigs at Big Major, rock iguanas at Allen's Cay, nurse sharks at Compass Cay and a sandbar stop where the water sits at knee height for a mile.
Boats leave Nassau early and return late afternoon. Lunch, snorkel gear and drinks are usually included; the crossing can be choppy, so travellers prone to seasickness should medicate before departure.

Conch salad made in front of you, cracked conch and Kalik at Twin Brothers or Goldie's.
