Swimming With Turtles in the Bahamas: The 15 Best Trips

48 tours  ·  from $100 a head

The green turtles off Rose Island and Green Turtle Cay come to the boat, which is why almost every operator promises them. These 15 are honest about the odds, the water depth and whether the stop is twenty minutes or an afternoon, each with its price.

Review of Nassau’s four-hour speedboat tour to Pearl, Rose, Green and Athol islands, with snorkeling, turtles, pigs, lunch and rum punch.

“We had an amazing time! We'd booked onto the 1pm time and had an email the morning of the trip that the time had changed (so keep an eye out for this as we almost missed it). The staff were incredible and friendly, they really brought the tour to life. The snorkeling was great, we spotted a few turtles which was amazing (first time I've done a tour and actually seen some!) and the pigs were awesome!! We were taken to a beach club on Rose island where we had drinks and food and interacted with the pigs. I would 100% recommend this company :) 10/10!”

“We had an incredible day in the Bahamas with Ahmad, Rashad, Dre, and Christian! Lovely sailing and snorkeling with plentiful food and drinks. The pig interaction was also unique and enjoyable. We’ve been on several catamaran cruises before and would easily rank this as one of our favorites. Highly recommended! Was super easy to get a taxi to Montagu Beach from the Nassau port area as well.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 181 reviews

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.”
