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!!!

The tour started late due to traffic from a political celebration downtown, so we lost about an hour of activity time since Rose Island is around 30 mins from Nassau. But the boat captain and crew still made sure we had a great time. We enjoyed the beach, relaxed, swam and fed the pigs, plus lunch was included in the package. We’ll definitely miss Panda, the 500-lb pig — hoping she stays healthy!

Fantastic experience!!! The group is capped at 65 people so not crowded like other trips.
The beach was gorgeous with like new paddle boards.
The pigs were adorable and we did get to feed them in the water. The team constantly picked up the poop before we even saw it.
A fantastic family day and the highlight of our week in the Bahamas

It’s worthless too expensive the pigs don’t swim all they do is poop all over the beach and there’s so many people. The cost was stupid expensive.

On time driver. Excellent personable guides. Overall just a really great excursion. We felt like we got to see a little piece of Jamaica! Went with kids age 5, 8, 11 and they all just loved it and so did we!!!

Tour was canceled due to rough waters, which was understandable, but no one bothered to notify us. Waited at the hotel lobby for an hour with no success reaching the company until later in the day.

Lovely trip out. Kind helpfull crew/staff. Good lunch. I loved everything about this trip. Also had our own cab pick us up and drop us back to Orange tree hotel. I would highly recommend this.
Catherine_O, Jun 2024
Just the right amount of time to do everything! Had a chance to swim around, we then “released the pigs” for fun feeding and swimming with them. Many options for lunch, that was very good. And had plenty more time to explore and enjoy the island before heading back. I would recommend this tour to anyone! Staff were great all around and it was an incredible experience!
Jason_M, Apr 2024
The experience was great for a family. The beach is beautiful and the pig interaction was fun, but could have been a bit longer and more interactive. The staff were great.

Over all, it was a Fantastic trip to Rose Island. From the Hotel Pick up to Hotel Drop off, it was absolutely amazing experience. Daniel was the best hotel pickup driver. Very informative and helpful! All the Boat captains and members were amazing.. you’ll Love the Blue Water and Ofcourse the Swimmig Pigs 🐖. One of the Best Experience that my wife and I had in Nassau Bahamas.

Amazing trip! A small group not too large. All well organised no waiting around! Quick straight on the boat to the island and into the experience same with the way home. The experience was perfect time on the beach, time with pigs and a delicious lunch! The staff couldn’t have done more to make it a great time! Would recommend 100%
Courtney_O, Aug 2023
Very fun experience. The lunch provided was delicious and the tour guides were very friendly! The pigs were very friendly, too!

The shuttle was late, but the driver was apologetic and educational. The island management needs major work. Only had 10 mins with pigs, weren’t allowed to swim with them and they moved so fast that you couldnt get any good pics. The bar was an hour wait and food was mediocre. A lot of money for a meh experience. Btw, we did a different tour 4 years ago and wish we went with them again.
Kim_L, Jul 2023
From pick up to drop off it was just a great excision. GG our host was just amazing. The beach area at pearl island was Pristine the pigs were all friendly and well kept. Even the lunch they served was delicious. Highly recommend. Plus, the trip was only a half day and the weather wasn’t so great so we still managed to get out and enjoy a wonderful time and get back to the pool.

We had a great time! The tour operator was very easy to work with-I made multiple changes and they kept the communication lines open. I appreciated that they worked with us (rain was forecast on our day, so we changed to an earlier day, and we changed hotels). The driver was on time and friendly. The tour itself was fun. The facilities were quite nice, given the remoteness of the island. It never felt crowded. The pig interaction was fun-but be forewarned-you don’t swim WITH the pigs. You feed them and pet them and then they demonstrate the swimming. It was fun. The food was really amazing. Best I’ve had on an excursion. The staff was all friendly. And my kids even kayaked and boogie boarded! Really all in all a great day! The only negative was that the boat to and from rose island was playing music really LOUD, otherwise, a perfect excursion.

The driver showed up as expected but once we got to the boat they were not expecting us and we’re confused. Had to show them our booking confirmation and still they looked confused. Still they let us on the boat. Once we got to Rose Island, they asked us where our wrist bands were and who we came with, we were like, huh….? Again they let us see the pigs after some back and forth. Then it came time for lunch so I got in line as instructed, they asked me for a ticket and told me to go get one, so I walked over to the lady and was questioned again because they did not have us on their itinerary. She took me over to the owner and they asked to see my hooking again, we waiting for another 5-10 minutes and they finally gave me the tickets to get lunch. By this time, there was a long line I had to sit in, not to mention, not t much time left to sit and enjoy our lunch. Then we jumped in the boat and headed back where we were met by our driver once again. To sum it up, the driver was great but everything outside of that was a terrible experience besides getting to see the pigs swim. I would recommend booking through another vender as there seemed to be a lot of confusion from the crew when booking through Viator.

Hello,
we are very sorry you had this experience, we are only in charge of the pickup and drop off experience, we will pass the along to Da Pig Beach to make sure this is corrected.

We wanted to love this but fell short. We were picked up at the cruise terminal at 9:10AM and forced to wait for over an hour on the dock for other guests to arrive. We left for Rose Island at 10:15AM. The boat ride was 45 minutes and you land at a small facility on a beautiful beach. There are chairs set up and a bar area. You can swim and relax. There are about 15 pigs in a pen (not wild/swimming or native pigs as in Eluthera). They give you apples, you stand in the ocean and they let the pigs out of the pen for 20 minutes. They are adorable and friendly... but a super "Disney World" vs reality experience. Lunch was grilled chicken, salad, rice, plantains and you wait in line like cattle. Took 40 minutes to wait on line and get food. One woman served lunch person by person to 80 people! You were limited to 2 sides out of 6 options. She wrapped up left over food and took vs letting the guest eat? On return boat ride, staff begs for tips. At $199 per person... I think we paid enough.

The highlight of my trip! Such an amazing staff throughout. From the folks on the boat such as CJ and the amazing staff during our pig experience. As a fellow animal lover, it was a joy to see such a staff that cared for these animals. Would definitely do this again. The food was awesome as well.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
We are so delighted that you had a great time! Come again soon!

The entire trip was amazing. Excellent customer service from the moment we were picked up at our resort. The island experience included exploring the island, a cool bar complete with beach volleyball and ping pong, and a way above expectation Bahamian buffet lunch. And yes, the pigs rocked.

We are so glad you had an amazing time! Thank you so much for the awesome review!

Incredible place and service! The place is spectacular; I did not expect to arrive at such a location. The activity with the piglets is fun, and in addition to the place, it was a great experience.

Tolle Insel, schöner Aufenthalt. Schweine hungrig aber nicht frei schwimmend im Wasser ….werden aus dem Stall gelassen und rennen dann ins Wasser. Dennoch ein tolles Erlebnis
