An absolutely unforgettable day with Born Free Charters! From the most gorgeous sandbar with swings and stingrays, to swimming with turtles and feeding the sweetest pigs and their adorable babies, every moment was magical. Pink Sands Beach was the perfect finale to an incredible Harbour Island adventure. We never felt rushed at any of the stops, just didn’t want the day to end. Special thanks to our awesome Captain and crew, they were great!
Best Excursion ever! Captain Keith, deck hands Wilson and Celine amazing! Super friendly, very knowledgeable!!!! Can’t beat the stingrays up close, pigs, turtles, valentines and best of all the pink sandy beach at harbor island!!! Best one ever for my family! You have do do Born free charters! It’s our second time and won’t be our last!!!
Overall, we had a great experience, but I wish I’d had more accurate expectations going in. This is not a leisurely pontoon or lounge-style boat tour. It’s a high speed boat that gets you quickly between the highlights, including the swimming pigs, Pink Sands Beach, and swimming with turtles. The tradeoff is that it’s loud, fast, and not really possible to chat with your group during the ride. I was also expecting a snorkeling stop, but there isn’t any snorkeling on this tour. It’s strictly swimming and beach time. I didn’t pack my kids’ goggles because I assumed snorkeling gear would be part of the experience, so that was disappointing. One other surprise: a week before the tour, I was told I owed about $200 more because my children, ages 9 and 10, no longer qualified for the child rate. That was unexpected and frustrating. That said, the destinations themselves are absolutely stunning and made for an unforgettable day. It’s a fantastic tour as long as you know what you’re signing up for.
Great team and clean boats! Our captain and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and the boats were new, comfortable, and very clean. Overall my favorite experience from my trip!
We did a fantastic day trip with Capt Keith, Jasmine and Chevy. They were professional, friendly and made the entire trip absolutely wonderful. The pigs were cool but the turtles were the best part. Highly highly recommends
We had a fantastic experience at this excursion! From start to finish we were treated amazing! The crew was friendly and kind! Consistently offering drinks, sharing about the history of the island and making us feel comfortable getting in the water with the Sting Rays!

Amazing experience, we had such an incredible time with the crew and other people on the boat with music and drinks on the way to the pigs, then went to see sea turtles which was one of my favorite parts, the the restaurant and pink sands beach which I didnt want to leave. The last spot was the spot with the swings we got to see all kinds of sea life and really had an amazing time together and our 2 year was having a blast 2. Sea stars , sea turtles, dolphins, sting rays, a live conch, shells, hermits, crabs, fish and more. It was bucklist worthy. I was wishing to spend some more time on pink sands beach. I definitely recommend this free born charter tour and the crew makes you feel safe.
First I’d like to thank Celine, Wilson, and Captain Keith for their professionalism and attention to all of their guests. They are a credit to their organization. This day was so fun. We got to spend time with the pigs, sting rays who were as friendly as your house cat, and the Pink sand beach was breathtaking. We only wish we could’ve spent a few days there. We enjoyed the smaller group it really made it more fun to get to know everyone. Thank you all so much for the magical time. It was worth every penny.
