One of the best days I’ve ever had in my life - The trip started off with a ride on one of the most incredible speedboats I’ve ever been on! The driver was very good and made sure we were all entertained the entire time. Our first stop was at a great snorkeling location where we saw lots and lots of beautiful fish. Then we did a little bit of a tour to see some sea turtles, and there was plenty to see, plus the location where Gilligan’s Island was filmed and a little bit more history of the area. Then we did the stop at Piggly Wiggly, which is where we got to swim enjoy some beach life and Have some fun with the pigs while feeding them. Our last stop was at a beautiful lunch/bar restaurant on top of a hill that overlooked the ocean and had some great views! The food was very good and the staff was always friendly! Finally, we had to return home but once again it was an incredible boat Ride, that being a boating enthusiast enjoyed very much! We were so sad that they was over, but would urge anyone to take this tour!

Great experience on the Wasabi! - We did the Born Free Charter’s half day excursion on the Wasabi boat with captain Henny, Jasmine and Wilson! We had such a great time, Jasmine was so knowledgable. We loved snorkeling over the reef, I took my water proof and was able to record a nice video of the fishes there. They constantly offer snacks and drinks. Feeding the pigs on Rose Island was a cool experience and they seemed to be well taken care of. There was someone there to pick up any poop the pigs did as soon as they did it. I got the burger and it was delicious. I would live to book more excursions with this company and this particular boat. So much fun!

Fantastic work day on the sea with BornFree😊 - It was a great experience. From check in to the boat Serrano and the crew Joey and Navardo it was great. The music, drinks on board, food and beaches were fantastic. We also saw a few turtles :). Would definitely book with Bornfree Charters again.

Goat Pepper Crew - I was originally planning on doing the "Pink Sand Beach and Swimming Pigs Adventure from Nassau", but after the weather did not permit this activity, I was recommended the "Half Day Adventure". I would say I did not miss out on the original activities as the crew from the Goat Pepper did an amazing job! Their knowledge, efficiency, and enthusiasm made this activity fun and engaging. Would recommend this to any members of any ages.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! - We were so excited for a day trip to Exuma that was unfortunately cancelled due to weather. BornFree Charters was all over it and offered us a trip that would still allow us to see pigs, snorkel and see turtles. This actually ended up working out better as we have 3 boys under the age of 10 and the shortened trip was PERFECT. We honestly could not have asked for better tour guides. We had Navado & Jazzy, who were truly AMAZING. They were SO kind to our boys, extremely knowledgeable about everything, and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. HIGHLY recommend taking a tour with this company and asking for Navado and Jazzy. TOP NOTCH good people!

Do This! - Jasmine, Tyler and Joey are The Best Crew EVER! Great time on and off the Born Free! Do this! The 1/2 day trip was perfect for us and our teen. The breathtaking beautiful turquoise waters are a sight to behold! Drinks a plenty, food is good, amazing sea life seen while snorkeling, feeding the pigs was sweet (we held a piglet), oh and we saw Gilligan’s Island - for my age group, this island holds a special place in our hearts!
