Our Half-Day Rose Island Adventure is perfect for guests who want to experience the best of The Bahamas without committing to a full day on the water.

This trip is ideal for families with kids, couples, first-time visitors, cruise passengers, and anyone looking for a relaxed yet unforgettable escape just minutes from Nassau and Paradise Island.

You’ll enjoy a smooth, scenic ride to Rose Island, where calm, shallow waters make snorkeling easy and enjoyable for all experience levels. From there, we’ll visit Gilligan’s Island, a laid-back beach stop where you can swim, relax, and soak in that “private island” feeling. We’ll also cruise over to Green Cay, home to friendly sea turtles, offering the chance to snorkel alongside them in their natural habitat.

With flexible pacing, personalized stops, and a local crew focused on safety and comfort, this half-day charter delivers maximum experience with minimal rush — the perfect introduction to The Bahamas or a highlight of your stay.
