Robert's Island Adventures - Day Tour
A day tour with Robert's Island Adventures
ADVENTURE OVERLOAD - Exuma, The Bahamas Day 03
Travel Vlog three from Exuma was filled to the brim with adventure! It started with an AMAZING sunrise that seemed to hint at the glory to come!
We spent the day on Robert's Island Adventures (none of this is paid) and they are THE boat to book and see all the sights of Exuma!
They kept us ahead of the crowds and we seemed to be the only group at the attractions when we arrived.
It's bit of a boat ride to get to the center of the action but once you're out there each stop is fairly close.
We started with Iguana Beach on Allen Cay. Remember these are wild animals but they are very chill and as long as you move slow and keep fingers away from their face they will leave you alone.
Stop number 2 was the famous big beach! This still blows my mind a barn yard on the beach?! From the biggest mama to the littlest pig there will be pigs on this beach for years to come!
Next on the list was Thunderball Grotto nothing short of magical views this place will take your breath away. You do not have to dive under to get in but the current does move quickly so time is limited here. And the boat crew will check the water before entering to make it is not to strong to enter so no worries there!
For lunch we stopped at a local favorite Lorraine's Cafe. With big patios and buffet style BBQ this is the best way to take care of big groups! The food was amazing but the service was even better Lorraine herself came by each table to thank us for dining with her before we left.
After lunch we only had 1 stop left the Sand Bar! There was only on other boat when we arrived and they left soon after! With literally nothing around I took full advantage and got the little Spark in the air asap! The sands where peaceful and the views where mind blowing.
And... Do not forget this was New Years Eve Day so we kept the pedal to the metal all the way to midnight! We are starting 2018 off in a big way with a fun filled evening with good friends, strong island drinks, and a Bahamian parade.
This was one hell of day and all I can say is Thank you Exuma!

Amazing Bahamas Vacation | Exuma & Nassau | Baha Mar, Swimming Pigs, Nurse Sharks & Compass Cay
Amazing Bahamas Vacation in Exuma and Nassau in the Bahamas. Exploring some of the most beautiful waters in the world. We stayed at Baha Mar in Nassau and toured several of the Exuma Cays, with stops at the famous swimming pigs at Pig Beach, nurse sharks at Compass Cay, iguanas, celebrity homes, snorkeling in Thunderbolt Grotto.
#Bahamas #Exuma #BahaMar
While on Nassau we stayed at the gorgeous Baha Mar Resort. Baha Mar is about 20 minutes to downtown Nassau where we spent time at the Queen's Staircase, toured the rum distillery and enjoyed some of the amazing beaches. Those are some of the best things to do in Nassau.
Top things to do in Exuma would include boating with Roberts Island Adventures to see the swimming pigs at pig beach. Plentiful Travel has done this twice and both times were absolutely amazing. Some other things to do in Exuma would be swinging and relaxing at Cocoplum Beach, which is about 30 minutes north of Georgetown. Cocoplum Beach is typically secluded which made it easy for us to film this travel video.
One thing to note when traveling to the Bahamas is that they charge a fee for bringing drones on the island, however, it is worth it for making a Bahamas drone video.

Georgetown, Exumas, Bahamas
+Boat Tour of Exuma Cays
We rented a private tour through Robert's Island Adventures ( Seeing as I was planning on proposing to my then girlfriend, I wanted the private tour, which ran $1,500 for the day, but you could have up to 8 people. The group tours are much, much cheaper, but less intimate. Along with the private tour, you can customize it to do whatever you would like. They provided drinks for us as we made our way to see the iguanas, nurse sharks, swimming with the pigs, celebrity homes, and sandbars.
+Swimming with Pigs
Most people have heard of the famous swimming with pigs there in Exuma. Its a very unique experience and we would highly recommend it. Seeing pigs relaxing on the beach and swimming up to your boat was a lot of fun. You'll likely spend 30 minutes or so here, but you'll get a chance to swim with them and hold them while taking some pictures.

3 Days in Exuma, Bahamas Vlog
This is a Vlog of our 3-day trip to Exuma, Bahamas. Probably one of the most beautiful beach/island destinations I have been to. The water is the bluest I have ever seen. Our flights were from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Georgetown which cost 360 each. It wasn't a cheap flight because of it not being a large plane and not a whole lot of tourists go here versus Nassau which is packed with tourists. That's honestly what made this trip so nice because there was hardly anyone around on the beaches, restaurants or roads.
The airbnb we stayed at sleeps up to 8 people and cost $1,007 total for the 3 nights and was nice, spacious, and centrally located on the island. We probably could have booked something cheaper for the 6 of us but thought more friend were coming, however, it was nice to each have our own bed and two bathrooms :
We did the Staniel Cay Tour of Pig Beach, Iguana Island, Swimming with Nurse Sharks, Thunderball Groto, and the Giant Sand Bar for $185 each with Robert's Island Adventures. Everywhere else I looked cost $200 each for the same tour. The boat was nice and the tour went great:
We rented a van at the Georgetown airport to fit the 6 of us. You absolutely need a rental car here because the island is pretty remote and spread out. It took us about 20 minute drive to get to a grocery store but ha at least there were plenty of liquor stores close by. The service was great and the van was nice with this rental company. The van cost around $450 for the 3 days which I didn't see anything cheaper for the 6 of us:
If you are in the middle of the island near our airbnb off of Queens Highway you have to checkout the restaurant Big D's which has awesome seafood and the views were spectacular. The beach is also really nice there so bring your swim suit.
Beaches:
1. Tropic of Cancer: Really pretty beach on little Exuma. From Big Exuma drive south on Queens Highway and takes you about 40 minutes drive from Georgetown. Pretty drive that is remote and found a nice restaurant off the water close by the was further south on the main road. Don't worry there is only one main road heading North and South so it is pretty easy to find stuff and you will see signs for the Tropic of Cancer when you are close!
2. Cocoplum: This is world famous Beach with the swings in the water. Great for pictures. Head North on Queens Highway past Rokers Point. The dirt road to the beach off of Queens Highway is unlabeled so you will have to ask locals on how to get there:

Georgetown, Exumas, Bahamas
--Flights--
Flights to Georgetown, Exuma in the Bahamas can be a bit tricky. There are only a few flights each day to the main airport there. If you are flying from the continental United States, you'll likely have a layover in Florida en route to Georgetown. Upon arrival in Exuma, you'll walk through a very small customs area before exiting and
--Lodging--
There are only a few resort options in Exuma. Most are going to be quite pricey, you can also find decent AirBnb's or lower end hotels, however, those will not be all inclusive or have a lot of options for food and drink. We stayed at Sandals Emerald Bay, which overall was extremely nice, we likely take a different approach the next time we went. If you are looking to just be on the resort all day and night, then this would be the way to go. But Exuma offers a lot in terms of water activities and exploring.
--Activities--
We rented a private tour through Robert's Island Adventures ( Seeing as I was planning on proposing to my then girlfriend, I wanted the private tour, which ran $1,500 for the day, but you could have up to 8 people. The group tours are much, much cheaper, but less intimate. Along with the private tour, you can customize it to do whatever you would like. They provided drinks for us as we made our way to see the iguanas, nurse sharks, swimming with the pigs, celebrity homes, and sandbars.
Iguanas
This was the first stop on our tour. You pull up to a beach where there are hundreds of iguanas. It was a short stop, but fun to stop and see.
Sandbar
While this was where I was planning on proposing, due to the hurricane Irma, the sandbar was about 2 feet underwater. When the sandbar is there, its about 10 feet wide and goes for about a mile or two. We were the only ones out there at the time. Almost every stop, at some point, we were the only ones on the beach or area.
Swimming with Pigs
Most people have heard of the famous swimming with pigs there in Exuma. Its a very unique experience and we would highly recommend it. Seeing pigs relaxing on the beach and swimming up to your boat was a lot of fun. You'll likely spend 30 minutes or so here, but you'll get a chance to swim with them and hold them while taking some pictures.

SWIMMING PIGS AT PIG BEACH REVIEW
If you are staying in Exuma Bahamas it's rather easy to find a local tour company that offers daily tours to pig beach which is where the swimming pigs are located. If you are staying at one of the other islands in the Bahamas, you can still find a day trip, but it is not as accessible.
We stayed in Georgetown, Exuma (at Sandals Emerald Bay) where most tours will include a round-trip shuttle from your hotel. Guided group tours will run about $100-$200/per person depending on a full vs. half day tours. Private tours will run you $2000+.
We took a private tour through Robert's Island Adventure and had such an amazing experience with them. They were very relaxed, took us where we wanted to go, gave us insights into certain things about Exuma Bahamas. Overall a great company!
Most likely, you’re part of a half or full day tour making other stops along the way around the Exumas. Those stops include:
--Seeing iguanas
--Swimming with the nurse sharks at Compass Cay
--Snorkeling Thunderbolt Grotto
--The mile-long sandbar
All while weaving in and out of remote islands and celebrity homes surrounded by some of the bluest water in the world.
The nice thing about the swimming pigs at pig beach is that its seclusion. Making it tough to get there. Tour groups shuffle in and out throughout the day but there is a good chance that you’ll have the entire pig beach to yourself, even if it's just for 5-10 minutes.
Upon arrival, the boat will pull up to shore so that you can hop in the water but the swimming pigs waste no time. They know that more boats, mean more tourists with food for them.
Most Exuma tours will stop there for 20-30 minutes. Enough time to get some fun video with the swimming pigs as well as pictures of you playing in the water and on shore with the swimming pigs. The swimming pigs come out into the water to get some food but on shore, they try to stay in the shade.
Keep in mind, these are still animals. The swimming pigs eat and go to the bathroom so do not be surprised if you see something brown floating in the water around you.
Unfortunately, a couple years ago, tourists either fed the swimming pigs alcohol or spilled alcohol on pig beach, enough that the swimming pigs were able to digest it and killing most of them off. The pig population there is slowly coming back, but if we want to continue to be able to marvel at some of these attractions, we need to be humane otherwise they’ll ban tourists from visiting the swimming pigs at pig beach altogether.
The swimming pigs were such an amazing experience with being able to interact with, feed and swim alongside them. Something you cannot find anywhere else in the world.
