Rose Island day trip from Paradise Island, with swimming pigs, guided snorkeling, buffet lunch, and open bar at a private sandy beach.
“Our journey began with the friendly check in for the venture to Sandy Toes. We enjoyed a fun and wet journey with Big Sexy as a tour narrator and learned about the homes belonging to celebrities. Upon arrival, we enjoyed a beautiful beach with snorkeling, a welcome drink, a great lunch and no crowd! The staff was very welcoming and we would surely return again! We wish we could have stayed for 2 days as the experience was fabulous. Try out the Frozen Conch drink and relax in Paradise.”

“Truly a wonderful experience 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Upon arrival I was greeted by their warm and friendly staff. The boat was on time and our tour started off beautifully. We then took a short seance trip over to the most beautiful island I’ve ever seen. The staff there was wonderful and gave the Bahamian welcoming. The food was absolutely amazing. On the island there are lots to see, and explore. The lookout point is breathtaking and the pig interaction is one for the books. They offered day beds where you can relax and unwid. I would definitely recommend this tour to singles, families and couples. What a wonderful experience.”

“AMAZING experience. I researched TONS of other excursions, but I finally settled on this one for me and my friend as it combined several of the things we were looking for into one. Plus, other reviews were good. I could not agree more. So, there is no need to read further - this one is a good deal and awesome experience. But, if you want more details.... here you go. You start off by meeting OO7 at the Margaritaville marina area. If you have staying at the Atlantis, take the shuttle to the Harbor and walk right across the street. They ask that you be there 30 min. prior, but…”

Half-day Rose Island beach getaway from Nassau with a scenic boat ride, beach bar, games, snorkeling, kayaking, and optional swimming pigs.
“Guysss so happy I came across this tour! Spent the day at this super cute and quaint beach resort out on Rose Island (about 30min boat ride from Nassau). All I was looking for was my much needed R&R and a sweet island type vibe away from our resort. The place had plenty of sporty activities, and our group of friends dispersed as soon as we got there to try them out. The bartenders at the bar they had were so nice and definitely spent some time there! We even added the pig encounter activity they had which was totally worth it because I’ve been looking to cross it off…”
