Rose Island Zwemvarkens & Strand Snorkelen Beleef Nassau.

This was a great time! Plus extras! When we got to hold the piglets, the employees offered to take our pictures with our own phones. For no additional charge! Plus on the boat ride back to Nassau, they made a stop to find turtles. It was awesome! Also no additional charges to use the water toys!

The experience was just as described however I am deducting 1 star as the timing is not accurate. The reason my friends and I booked this experience is that it allowed us ample time to complete multiple activities on our short day ashore during our cruise. The time was described as 9:30a to 12:30p. We left the meeting point at 9:30a and it took about 45 minutes by boat to get to Rose Island. Upon arrival we were advised that the boat would not be returning to Nassau until 1p. We told the operators that per our booking this was a 3 hour excursion and the lady simply replied, “it’s not.” I said the description said it would end at 12:30p and based on that description, we booked an additional excursion which we scheduled for 1:30p and now would be missed. The lady replied, “cancel it.” We left Rose Island at 1:00p but they showed some homes and we didn’t arrive back to Nassau until 2:13p. Again, the experience was fine and as described with the exception being the time. So if you are trying to complete multiple excursions on your short day ashore plan 5 hours for this as opposed to 3 hours.

Wonderful experience!! The kids all had a ball! The snorkeling was very well Supervised and great!!!

This was my second time doing this excursion. Everything was great until we arrived at the place where lunch was served. The woman serving the food was extremely rude and unprofessional. Keep in mind that we paid $25 per plate, yet we were being served what seemed like scraps because she refused to replenish the food. I voiced my concerns, but she was dismissive and didn't seem to care at all. Unfortunately, the way we were treated by the staff on the island completely ruined the experience. Because of this, this will be my last time visiting Rose Island for the pig excursion.

This tour is Amazing! You take a boat ride to Rose Island, swim and feed the pigs with food provided by them. Then take another boat ride to snorkel. Come back and do water activities like kayaking, paddle boarding and water trampolines. Or just relax on the clear beach. On the way back, they stop to look at turtles (we saw 3) and check out the famous peoples homes. Great experience. Matthew was great on the snorkeling excursion. Everyone was great. Very polite, funny and helpful. Wish we had more time but we had to get back to our cruise. Highly recommend this experience.

Swimming with the pigs was a great experience, our 11 years old granddaughter absolutely loved it . Feeding the pigs and holding a baby pig and taking pictures at the end it was the highlight of her entire trip. She said that this excursion was the most memorable part of our Bahamas cruise. The boat ride from the cruise ship terminal to Rose island takes about 45 minutes and can be a little hot . On the island there is a restaurant with drinks, alcoholic beverages and nonalcoholic drinks, ice cream, water. There are tents with picnic tables wicker chairs and hammocks between palm trees. They have paddle boards and kayaks available at no additional charge but you must have a photo ID ( driver license ) to give them until you return the equipment. There are bathrooms available also right next to the restaurant. There is a nice beach where you can swim and snorkel but the snorkeling is not that great because most of the coral reef is dead, we found a couple of patches of live coral reef with some fish. There are also some water trampolines tied in the water that are available at no charge. It was a great place to spend the day. The staff was very friendly and nice especially the people who handled the pigs they educate everyone on how to feed and handle the animals, they provided everyone in the excursion with a plastic cup with apples and hotdogs and a wooden skewer to feed the pigs. On the way back to the cruise ship terminal we stopped at a small island and were able to see some turtles. Would definitely recommend this company for your excursion.

This was a fun filled excursion. The entire staff was very accommodating. We snorkeled, swam and took pics with the pigs, hung out on the beach and saw the turtles. It was a great time. I highly recommend it

This is the perfect excursión for cruise passengers. Rose Island offers a superior altertanitve to other excursions as they operate a large beach, bar, restaurant, swim pig adventure as well as snorkel. Floating mats, kayaks, umbrellas and othe beach activities are complementary. Service is good but a bit "dry" in typical Bahamian tradición. We purchased the swim with pigs + snorkel and paid 1/2 of the ship excursión price. There are two tours departing 9:30 am and 11:30 am Both pick you up at Señor Frogs (a 10 minute walk to the right of the pier) and return you directly to the cruise terminal. 5 Stars!

This was a great excursion!! The staff were all super friendly and fun! They take you to a private beach, you’ll swim with the pigs in an area that isn’t over crowded, then have time to enjoy the beach, food and drinks. I recommend if you go at lunch time that you book the package that includes lunch, it’ll save you about $5 off of the price you’ll pay for lunch if you decide to eat there.

An absolute must! Soooo much fun. I wish the pigs stayed out and swam longer but it was still really cool.
