“Fun day at Rose Island! We did the 6 hour tour and we had a wonderful time. The staff was so professional, fun and took very good care of all of us. The pigs are safe, clean and very well mannered. Lunch was even good! The beach was clean and had no problems. There are a lot of stairs but not horrible. I highly recommend!”

Review of Rose Island swimming pigs tour from Nassau, with boat details, costs, timing, beach conditions, food, and practical booking advice.

“We had an awesome time the water is beautiful as you travel out to the island. And then when you get there they have scheduled times for each group of people in the pics come out and you feed them and and they swim. And then they let you hold a piglet. They had a miniature lunch buffet that was $25 a person and included a drink. It was okay enough to fill us up till we got back on the ship. The DJ was fire and was super cool. And all the employees of the restaurant and bar and the pig swimming and the boat were amazing.”

Paradise Island: Rose Island Tour with Swimming Pigs & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 190 reviews · 6 hours · from $252

Review of the Rose Island Sandy Toes tour with swimming pigs, snorkeling, lunch, open bar, beach time, tips, costs, and practical advice.

“Sandy Toes spoiled us with a very pleasant trip out and back. They picked us up and returned us directly to our hotel. The layout on Rose Island is exquisitely beautiful and memorably picturesque with beautiful cliffs ascended on picturesque stairways and lounges on top with views out over the waters --- it couldn't have been better!! Toilets and change rooms were clean and appetizing. Snorkeling allowed us to hover over and follow a large scrawled filefish over colorful coral and gorgonians, some bright purple beneath us in clear, turquoise water --- we hovered over a moray eel and allowed a brittle starfish to crawl over our hand!! There were…”

Review of Nassau’s private Rose Island boat tour with snorkeling, turtles, swimming pigs, snacks, and practical advice on value and logistics.

“This was one of the best days I’ve ever had on a vacation! Cruising around the Caribbean with music playing and sun shining. We snorkeled and saw sea turtles. Hung out at a beach and saw peacocks and the most turquoise water I’ve ever seen. We got to feed and hold and photograph pigs. The boat was comfortable and the snacks and beverages were as described. Note: if you are arriving by cruise, you will need to pay them a round trip transfer fee of over $100 to get to their actual dock. This was unclear to me in the description. So keep that in mind.”

Review of Nassau’s Rose Island tour with swimming pigs, turtle viewing, reef snorkeling, three islands, drinks, and practical tips.

“This excursion was our favorite day of our vacation. We previously swam with pigs on another excursion years ago and the pigs were slightly aggressive. These were trained and just a great experience. The currents were strong so we opted out of the snorkeling and spent more time at the AMAZING beach. Would definitely do this again.”

“Truly a wonderful experience 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Upon arrival I was greeted by their warm and friendly staff. The boat was on time and our tour started off beautifully. We then took a short seance trip over to the most beautiful island I’ve ever seen. The staff there was wonderful and gave the Bahamian welcoming. The food was absolutely amazing. On the island there are lots to see, and explore. The lookout point is breathtaking and the pig interaction is one for the books. They offered day beds where you can relax and unwid. I would definitely recommend this tour to singles, families and couples. What a wonderful experience.”

Review of the Rose Island swimming pigs tour from Nassau, including boat views, beach time, activities, costs, weather tips, and who should book.

“I decided to try this activity out with my 16 year old daughter the last day of our stay. I was a bit skeptical at first because of the limited Viator reviews. The price and the duration was the most appealing. The activity is approximately 90 mins from start to finish and I didn’t want to do an entire day excursion. I’m glad I booked. The owner, tour guides and the captain were all exceptional. Some of the patrons participated in a snorkeling activity. I couldn’t swim so I stayed on the boat and watched. This activity was approximately 25 minutes which goes by really fast when you looking out…”

“Guysss so happy I came across this tour! Spent the day at this super cute and quaint beach resort out on Rose Island (about 30min boat ride from Nassau). All I was looking for was my much needed R&R and a sweet island type vibe away from our resort. The place had plenty of sporty activities, and our group of friends dispersed as soon as we got there to try them out. The bartenders at the bar they had were so nice and definitely spent some time there! We even added the pig encounter activity they had which was totally worth it because I’ve been looking to cross it off…”
