We did a 5-hour private tour with Captain Dario through Tropic Sea Adventures, and I can’t say enough great things about this company and our captain! From the moment I first found their website and messaged through Facebook Messenger, the communication was incredible. Captain D answered all of my questions and helped me create a personalized itinerary based on our group’s interests.

Once we booked, he reached out about two weeks before our trip to alert me to some weather moving through the area. From about three days out until the morning of our tour, he kept in touch with updates about the forecast and any potential need to reschedule. Thankfully, everything went as planned!

The morning of our tour, the boat arrived 30 minutes early and was ready for us to come aboard. We were even picked up directly from our resort, which was such a convenient bonus.

Our first stop was at the local market, where we tried freshly made conch salad prepared by a well-known local. The kids each got to pick out a conch shell and were even taught how to blow it. It was such a fun and authentic way to experience Bahamian life.

Next, we stopped at a snorkeling spot. Captain D took safety very seriously, joining us in the water and providing noodles, snorkel gear, and a safety rope. It was my kids’ first time snorkeling, and I felt completely comfortable and confident thanks to the care he took.

Our third stop was at a floating restaurant where we enjoyed great food, swimming, and beautiful views. Our last stop was a secluded beach, where we spent the final part of the day relaxing and swimming in pure paradise.

Captain D navigated around some weather and handled everything with such professionalism and local knowledge to make sure our day wasn’t affected by the rain. Snacks and drinks were provided, and as a special surprise, he even arranged a birthday cake for my son so we could celebrate on board!

To top it all off, the first mate, Kito, took photos of our group throughout the day and sent them to us afterward. It was such an unexpected and thoughtful touch. He captured so many great action shots I never would’ve gotten myself.

Everything about this experience was above and beyond. I highly recommend Tropic Sea Adventures to anyone visiting Nassau. It was a true highlight of our vacation. Thank you, Captain D and Kito!

Great experience with Dario, he always tried to ensure we were satisfied in every detail.

We had an amazing time fishing and swimming with the pigs with Captain Dario and Kito! Captain Dario is a family man with 18y of military service. We were coming off the Disney cruise port and he picked us up right next to the port. He was sure to get the little kids in life preservers right away and then we were off for a wonderful day on the water! If we make it back to the Bahamas we’ll certainly go out with him again!
