49 tours  ·  from $90 a head

Green turtles graze the seagrass in water you can stand up in, so this is one of the few places you meet them without a tank. The 15 below are priced and timed, with a note on which run early enough to catch them feeding.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 640 reviews · from $299

Cruise from Nassau to Rose Island for snorkeling, turtles, Sandy Cay, lunch, beach time, and a lively swim with pigs.

“Fantastic tour! We stayed at the Atlantis and wanted a tour to show us stuff outside of the hotel, so booked this tour since it seemed to hit all the sites and had great reviews. It was great! The pickup is walkable from the Atlantis hotel, the tour guides were fun and personable, and the experience was well managed. Even the boat ride to the islands was enjoyable - you get to cruise over crystal clear blue water, see all the fancy yachts, and enjoy views of the beautiful Bahamas shorelines and islands. The tour hits a bunch of spots and takes a few hours, but we never felt rushed,…”

“Great excursion! Pick up was from Margaritaville Paradise Island, about a 5 minute walk from Atlantis. Made 1 stop to snorkel and another stop to spot turtles from the boat. Then to the island. Plenty of beach lounges, hammocks, and day beds. Plus pool noodles and slings to chill in the ocean. Also had an outdoor shower to rinse off. There are great photo op spots. Lunch was a choice of fresh grilled hot dog, hamburger, cheeseburger or veggie burger. After lunch the pigs came out and you were able to feed and interact with them. FYI -- I mistakenly purchased the wrong activity that did not include swimming with…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 181 reviews

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.”
