“Your driver ( I wish I remembered his name) immediately put you in the island mode with his relaxed personality, he provided a great overview of the area as he drove us to the beach. All staff at Paradise Cove were super friendly and helpful to ensure you had a good time . Do the snorkeling early before low tide, which will give you time to try the paddle board and kayaking. Drinks and food were delicious, try the local beer. We did the whole day experience, well worth the money… definitely a great family or friends location!”

“We loved actual pearl island… everyone there was great… snorkeling was fun- although our guide wasn’t overly friendly like the rest of the people there were….. BUT first off- getting to the “ferry” was a nightmare…. It’s confusing and everyone we tried to get directions from was clueless. They don’t call it a ferry there I guess bc the locals we asked for directions from said there is no ferry…. So make sure you go to Margaritasville BY Atlantas and you will find it. THEN we didn’t get to the island till after 11 bc the ferry was late… AND we almost missed our cruise boat bc they told us…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 112 reviews · 5 hours · from $94

Take a five-hour ferry trip from Paradise Island to Pearl Island Bahamas for beach time, kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, a lighthouse visit, and a Bahamian lunch. The $94 price includes roundtrip transport, lunch, water mats, kayaks, paddle boards, showers, and shaded decks. Bring a towel and card, and budget extra for drinks, snorkeling gear, and a locker.

“Escursione molto deludente. Innanzitutto non vi aspettate di andare a vedere chissà quale mare perché l'isola si trova soltanto a 10-15 minuti di barca dal molo di Paradise island. Il mare é esattamente uguale a quello di paradise island e rimarrete confinati insieme a tantissime altre persone a Pearl Island per un tempo estremamente lungo. Il mangiare é pessimo e le bibite costanto parecchio. Se volete fare un'escursione in una bella isola, vi consiglio vivamente di non prendere in considerazione questa.”
