Tours and Tickets to Experience Rose Island

Q: What can you do in Rose Island?

A long, narrow islet just off the coast of Paradise Island, Rose Island represents some of the best of the Bahamas' natural scenery and tranquil feel. Visitors come to snorkel, sunbathe, and stroll along the beaches, as well as swim with the island's famous resident pigs.

Q: Is Rose Island private?

Yes, Rose Island is a small, uninhabited private island. That said, it’s readily accessible to visitors, and there are numerous ways to discover it, including swimming excursions with its resident pigs, half- or full-day trips from Paradise Island, sailing tours, deep-sea fishing trips off the coast, and more.

Q: Does Rose Island have bathrooms?

Yes, Rose Island may be a small, uninhabited island, but it does have bathroom facilities available for guests—so don't worry about having to hold it in during your visit. What's more, the island also has freshwater shower facilities, so you can bring a change of clothes with you after swimming.

Q: Does anyone live on Rose Island?

No, Rose Island is officially classed as an uninhabited island. There are no permanent residents, and little formal infrastructure. That said, there are some vacation homes on the island, as well as beach bars and a few luxury overnight villas now that the island has become a popular day-trip destination.

Q: Does Rose Island have pigs?

Yes, Rose Island does have a small number of resident pigs, though not as many as on the famous Pig Beach in the Exumas. Swimming with the pigs is one of the most popular activities on the island alongside sunbathing, snorkeling, and otherwise soaking in the idyllic scenery.

Q: Is Rose Island worth it?

Yes, if you're looking for an idyllic island escape that's still easily accessible from New Providence Island, then Rose Island is definitely worth it. Less than half an hour by boat from Nassau, the uninhabited island offers powdery beaches, picturesque scenery, relaxed beach bars, and even the chance to swim with pigs.

Sandy Toes The Original Rose Island and Swimming Pigs Tour

Robin_R, Dec 2025

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!

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.

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!

A Great Day of Turtles, Reef Fish and Pigs!!

We had a wonderful experience! Captains Lee and Mario and mate Tariq did a super job and our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed seeing theturtles and beautiful fish while snorkeling, and feeding the pigs was great fun! Our only ding would be that there was not beer as advertised - the punch was delicious but one of us has allergy to one of the ingredients. A beautiful day and fantastic time! Thank you!!

Book the trip!

The experience was great. They did an amazing job taking the pigs in and out and you can tell they are very well trained and cared for. It was not gross!!! Having a limited number of people made the beach time nice and peaceful. Everyone there was welcoming and we enjoyed talking and joking around. Lynch was good and you get a very good size portion and can even go get seconds if you want, you won’t be leaving hungry for sure!
