Fun day at Rose Island with the PIGS!
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!

Pigs, rose island & wifi
Rose island was beautiful. The pigs time was short but cool while they were there. Yes, the pigs poop everywhere but the staff was always there to scoop up the droppings. The WIFI out there was great!!!

10/10 Experience
It was a 45 minute boat ride from the cruise port and then they split us into groups for the “pig encounter” and then got the rest of the time to lay at the beach, lay on the floating trampolines, or snorkeling. Overall very clean, nice bathrooms, didn’t feel like I was experiencing animal cruelty

Perfect Day in Nassau
Great relaxing day on the water. Frenchy was an excellent captain. The snorkeling was fun, lots of fish, nice equipment that was cleaned. Private beach was cool. A little hiking up some stairs but not hard. Saw turtles in the water. The swimming with pigs wasn’t exactly “swimming” but we fed them and took pictures. Those in the group that didn’t want to hang with pigs stayed at the floating bar and enjoyed drinks and food. It was a great day!

The staff was great and the facilities were really clean. Lots of safety precautions for the group snorkeling tour. Pigs were well cared for and trained better than our dogs. Would recommend

5 Stars For Dino!
Dino was the best captain and took great care of us. He knew how to beat the crowds to swim with the pigs and picked the perfect beach to drop us for lunch, cocktails and swimming in crystal clear water. We snorkeled and looked for turtles too. All a great time! Thanks Dino!

Rose Island Pig Excursion
This was one of the best experiences we had on the cruise. Booking was easy and knowing where to go when you get off the ship at port. We took a ferry ride about 30 minutes to Rose Island. The locals greeted us and brought out the pigs. Kayaking, paddle boarding, and snorkeling are included with the pigs. It was an awesome excursion. Definitely would book it again! The beautiful water is the best part.

Friendly crew, beautiful islands.
This was the best day ever. The whole thing was an experience we will never forget. Very friendly crew running the boat. Fun, outgoing and knowledgeable guides. The pigs were sooo fun. The islands are beautiful. Seeing the turtles was great too! If I could give 10 stars for this trip, I would. Thanks for a special day! We would love to come back again in the future.

It was very fun. We hung out with the pigs, were able to hold and feed them. The kids absolutely loved it. Then went snorkeling and saw tons of fish at rainbow reef. Then went and saw sea turtles. One of the best excursions we’ve been on.

Great experience,...
Great experience, friendly staff. Wish it was a bit longer. You only are on Rose Island for approx 1.5 and approx 15 mins with the pigs. Still worth it. Don’t forget to bring cash - Tip the staff!
