My girlfriend and I booked this last second (2 days before) on our Bahamas vacation, not knowing what to expect. Let me just say wow! The whole experience was awesome, fun, and worth every penny. The crew was welcoming, funny, and very caring about safety. We did the whole day trip, and it was worth it. The pigs were fun to play with, but the beach itself was calm and relaxing. Very warm waters with small fish everywhere. We were two of 30ish people that went, so it was very easy to relax and be on your own. Overall, we would definitely book this again if we come back to Nassau in the future!
This excursion was amazing. From the boat ride, the food, the drinks, the island, everyone was beautiful and friendly. Swimming with the pigs was a great experience. I would gladly do it again. So worth the price.
A great day out from start to finish. Very relaxed and laid back. Lots of time with the pigs and time to relax in the beautiful surroundings. Food was great and so we're the cocktails!
This is simply the best excursion I've bene on with my family for years!! The island is a paradise, the staff are brilliant, the food surprisingly good, the pigs are playful and well trained. It might look expensive when you buy the ticket, but it was well worth the expense. We stayed for the full day trip. The amount of people on the tours was perfectly judged so it did not feel crowded.
Such an amazing experience and an absolute must-do when visiting the Bahamas! Just a short boat ride from Paradise Island takes you to a beautiful private island with crystal-clear turquoise water and some of the softest white sand you’ll ever experience. The excursion includes snorkeling with sea turtles and colorful tropical fish, swimming and interacting with the famous pigs, a delicious BBQ lunch, and plenty of time to relax on the pristine beach. Just don’t forget to bring a beach towel! This was one of the highlights of our trip, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Nassau or Paradise Island.
This was such a fun experience!!! Everyone we met who worked here was extremely kind and friendly! The pigs were so adorable and the beach was just breathtaking. All service was absolutely outstanding!
Book this! Book it now! So fun! Very professional. Very clean. Very safe and good/drinks were fantastic! I’m not one to leave reviews but this experience my family and I had makes it worth it! We snorkled, enjoyed the beautiful beach, had plenty of time with the sweet pigs and had a great lunch! We’ve done a lot this trip…this by far was the best bang for the money!
Great time hanging out on rose island. Staff training pigs were fantastic. Very clean, kids had a blast!
We had the best day on Rose Island. Favorite experience in the Bahamas by far! Would give it 10 stars if we could and definitely will be returning.
Sandy Toes at Rose Island truly is amazing. It was just a short boat ride of about 25 minutes. The moment you step off the boat, the staff is so welcoming. The island is beautiful and everything was organized. Drinks were good and so was the food. We snorkled with our own gear. The pigs were super cute. This was our first time booking and definitely won’t be our last.
