Swimming Pigs, Snorkeling & Beach Lunch Tour in Nassau
A 4-hour Rose Island boat tour featuring swimming pigs, reef snorkeling, turtle watching, and a beach lunch — departing from Nassau, Bahamas.
OVERVIEW
This Swimming Pigs, Snorkeling and Beach Lunch Tour departs from Nassau, Bahamas and offers an unforgettable island experience at an affordable rate. Enjoy a scenic boat ride as you cruise out of Nassau’s pristine harbor and cross the turquoise waters toward the beautiful Rose Island.
This tour is ideal for cruise ship passengers, with the meeting point located just 7 to 10 minutes from the cruise port by taxi. Taxis are readily available outside the port and typically cost between $10 and $12 USD per person, making this a convenient and stress free excursion while visiting Nassau.
Begin your adventure with an exhilarating reef snorkeling experience surrounded by vibrant coral formations and brightly colored tropical fish. Snorkel gear is provided by our trained guides to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all guests.
Next, enjoy a short boat ride to a private beach club on Rose Island. Here you will have time to swim, snorkel some more, relax on the beach, enjoy kayaks and floaties, unwind in hammocks, or take photos on the beach swing. Guests may soak up the sun, sunbathe if they wish, or simply relax with a refreshing cocktail while taking in the island scenery.
Guests looking to capture the iconic swimming pig photos will have the opportunity to participate in a Swimming Pig Interaction at the beach club, one of the most popular experiences in Nassau.
On the return journey, enjoy turtle watching from the vessel as you pass Green Turtle Cay, a protected breeding ground and sanctuary. To preserve the natural habitat, snorkeling with the turtles is not permitted.
Life jackets are provided for both adults and children. Penalty free cancellation is available with 72 hours notice. For no show reservations, the remaining balance will automatically be charged to the card on file at the time of the excursion.
