The Bahamas · ROSE ISLAND DAY TRIPS
Rose Island is twenty minutes out of the harbour, which is why it carries most of the pig-and-beach traffic. These 15 compare the boats on price, how long you stay and whether lunch and the beach club are really included.

Review of the $69 Rose Island swimming pigs tour from Nassau, with boat views, feeding time, beach access, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“This was a wonderful day in the Bahamas. The boat ride takes you past some fabulous mansions, beautiful islands and of course through the beautiful waters of the Bahamas. Swimming with the pigs was amazing. They are so darn cute and the baby piglet I got to hold was adorable! The island has plenty of options. I just relaxed on the beach, but they have a restaurant and bar, water toys for the kids and kayaks. There is plenty of space to spread out with lots of lounge chairs and hammocks. Bring your sunscreen and have a fabulous day! I highly recommend!”
Review of Sandy Toes Rose Island tour with swimming pigs, snorkeling, Bahamian lunch, open bar, and five hours on a private beach.
“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, sea turtles, swimming pigs, snacks, and flexible stops for groups up to eight.
“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 Sand Dollar Beach Resort on Rose Island, with swimming pigs, turtles, beach gear, boat times, costs, and practical tips.
“The staff were great. Always available to help and was very friendly. I took the cruise with my infant. Just both of us. I was quite please with the outcome of the trip. All the staffs were exceptional. One thing I admire was the boat captain who uses his body to shelter the passenger from the splashing water on the 9:30am trip. I would recommend this tour and will definitely come again.”
