Excellent! - Gorgeous location. Snorkeling is amazing and the guides are very knowledgeable. Lunch is amazing and there are lots of comfortable lounge locations as well as water activities. Would definitely recommend.

Not worth the money - We we’re ferried to an Island
We had 20 minutes of snorkeling, some kayaking and climbed some stairs up to the lighthouse
There are beach chairs and lockers ($10)
Then lunch consisted of one piece of bbq chicken, 3 pieces of fried grouper strips, rice and vegetables.
No other options and although the food was tasty, it was so rationed that we could not get seconds
We were not told that towels were not available so we could bring our own
We thought swimming with the pigs was part of what we paid for but it was not. We ended up paying extra to do that activity

So much for snorkeling - I booked this experience a month in advance, excited about snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters. However, on the morning of the trip, just about an hour before we were supposed to leave, I received a text saying that snorkeling was canceled but the rest of the activities would still be available. There was no explanation provided for the cancellation, and no mention of a refund, despite this being advertised as a snorkeling experience.
With such short notice, it was impossible to book anything else as everything was already full. The lack of communication was frustrating—after that initial text, I didn’t hear anything further from them. Ultimately, I was able to get a refund, but only after reaching out to the company I booked through. This was a huge disappointment, and the poor communication left a bad impression.

Terrible, Don’t Bother - It wasn’t good. The food was awful - the chicken legs were dry (how?!?) and overcooked, the rice was dry. The drinks were overpriced for well liquor. Someone paid $25 for a coconut with well liquor. We couldn’t find a chair that was by the tiny beach or in some shade because there were too many people there. The boat that took us and brought us back was terrible too!! The only thing that was worthwhile was the snorkeling. I would never recommend this place. It’s an overpriced tourist trap.

Good price but low TTV experience - Apologies but there were few positives. It is good price but not worth it for time to value of experience. Boat and boat ride from PI to Pearl Island was OK. Good view of PI. Snorkeling was ok but too many groups (cruise ships) queued and you snorkel on top of water about only 30 minutes. Bahamian BBQ just ok. After snorkeling and eating about 1pm, you are stuck on Pearl Island until boat leaves to return about 3pm. Restrooms no. Only 1 functioning. Scary and stinky not shipwreck quaint. There is an area to beach swim with water toys. Did not check that out. Was hot so hung out on semi-covered dock and chatted with cruisers while waiting for boat to show up.

Skip this island - Save you money and time! Took excursion from a cruise ship. The lunch was passable,the island super tiny and the snorkeling was worst we ever experienced. I wish I had read the reviews first

Find something else if you want to snorkel for more than a few minutes - We joined because we wanted to snorkel. We were allowed 30 minutes to snorkel, including the time it took to get instructions and gear. The "adventure" was walking right off the island and was not guided besides being told not to go past the markers. Super disappointed. Also, the lunch is rice and beans if you do not eat meat.

Misadvertised in so many ways. - Only able to snorkel for 30 minutes. Had to sign up to snorkel right when we got there, which we were not informed of on the boat ride over. We had to take the very last time - 2:15. We were there from 11-3, which meant we got out of the water at 2:45 no time to shower off and wait to get on our boat back. There were 4 other cruises there that day. We were told we could not eat until 1:30 pm. At that time, no chicken or vegetables. No plantains - just fried fish (not bronzed as advertised) and beans and rice. Veggies and chicken eventually came out. Veggies were reheated california mix. They closed the bathrooms at 2 pm. The guide on our boat had no microphone so we couldn’t hear anything from the outside of the boat. Really nothing like was advertised at all.

Waste of Time & Money - The snorkeling is timed and limited to one location. Rather than an actual reef, it’s concrete sculptures of man made vehicles. There were only a few varieties of fish to be seen and the area was full of floating seaweed and jellyfish.
Lunch was disappointing. The selection was minimal. The portion sizes were small. And it was served by someone with a scowl. It did come with a small cup of free water!
There are no free beverages (not even water) for guests to drink anywhere else on the island. There are plenty of high priced bars, though..
Honestly, by the time lunch was over, we were just ready to leave the island.
The only good thing about the island is there are plenty of loungers on shaded beaches. So we got a nice view of the ocean and didn’t get burnt while we waited around to leave.

No communication - We were trying to go to pearl island. I never heard from you or the operator until well into my trip that we would not be back in time to catch my boat
