Have you done the one from GSC or Exuma?  I was thinking of the GSC one but haven’t seen any reviews yet

I've done one in Exuma and on another island in near Nassau called Rose Island.  It was a fun experience and I would do it again if I had the chance.  My son loved it and still talks about it years later.  Once thing to note is that what they don't show you in most videos is the poop (no other way to say it) in the ocean that starts to happen after the pigs are feed.  So if you go, prepare yourself for that....

Has anyone tried this excursion yet?

I have!  As my name suggests I am from The Bahamas and have done it twice now. 

11 Days till I "Escape"!! :hearteyes:

Don't just look at flight prices; you have to look at flight times, also.

 

I wouldn't even consider this, it's not possible to do in one day. You have to take a flight to Eleuthera and then take a boat to Harbour Island. You don't say the date you'd want to go, but for most days, looks like the earliest outbound flight is 6:45 am, and they arrive at ELH at 11:45 am. The outbound flight leaves at 12:30 p.m. They all connect in Miami. For other days, outbound flight is nonstop, but it leaves at 2:00 p.m. And return is 2:50 p.m. Which of course, wouldn't even give you time to get off the plane.

 

There's no way you have time to do this. Save it for a land trip.

This is incorrect. You do not have to connect through Miami to get to North Eleuthera. The flight to North Eleuthera is 20 minutes from Nassau. You can fly on Bahamasair or PineappleAir to get there and there are several flights a day. The ferry takes about 10 minutes. If you're going to be in Nassau from 6am to 11pm it is doable. However, it is risky because if you miss the last flight, which is usually around 5pm, then you're stuck until the next day. That said, I would definitely say it's worth it. Harbour Island has some of the most beautiful beaches in The Bahamas.
