Review of Nassau’s Rose Island boat tour with snorkeling, turtle spotting, a private beach, lunch, rum punch, and practical tips.
“Amazing excursion! Captain Kareem did a wonderful job. Picked two great spots to view turtles and for snorkeling. We saw a large variety of fish (more than other snorkeling stops I’ve experienced) and biggest lobster ever. The boat ride was fast and fun with energetic music to enhance the vibe. The private beach is amazing! While it is still being developed, they have thought of most everything. Surreal views. Lunch was simple but satisfying. Staff was friendly and fun. We did not pay to feed pigs but enjoyed watching the activity. I hope we have an opportunity to return! Only recommendation is notify guests there is a Margaritaville Resort and…”
Swim with friendly pigs on Rose Island, then enjoy beaches, kayaks, hammocks, music, and a bar on this four-hour Nassau tour.
“The resort is amazing and we had a blast doing all the activities. The only thing to take into consideration is that you only get about 20 minutes with the pigs. You get to feed them and take a picture with a baby one but overall you dont get much time. In general, I think it’s definitely worth it and it was by far my favourite day on my vacation.”

Review of Nassau’s private Rose Island boat tour with snorkeling, sea turtles, swimming pigs, snacks, drinks, pricing, and practical tips.
“Captain McKinney (Sam) was so nice and flexible. We decided to skip swimming with the pigs so we could spend more time snorkeling and on the beach. At the turtle stop we did see several and the two grandsons were able to jump in and get close to one. The beach was wonderful. It had the softest and cleanest sand we've seen in many beach stops. We chose to have them set up the transfer from the ship to the boat as opposed to getting a taxi for peace of mind as there were 5 ships in that day. It was efficient, but pretty pricey, at $135, for two 2…”

“Perfect tour included 2 separate spots for snorkeling with plenty of fish and sea turtles, followed by a private beach oasis on Rose Island. Unlimited rum punch (delish) and made to order burgers and dogs. Pigs arrive on beach where we feed them. Good music selection and staff was friendly.
