Rose Island is one of the closest and most popular day trips from Nassau, best known for its calm waters and the friendly swimming pigs that have become a local favorite over the years.
On this private half-day charter, we depart Nassau and cruise across clear, protected waters to Rose Island, where you’ll have time to enjoy the experience at a comfortable pace. Some guests like to wade into the shallows and interact with the pigs up close, while others prefer to watch from the beach or take photos — there’s no pressure to do it any one way.
Because this is a private tour, we’re able to avoid the crowds and adjust timing based on conditions and your comfort level, which makes the experience especially enjoyable for families and first-time visitors. After spending time with the pigs, we typically continue the day with light snorkeling nearby, where shallow reefs and marine life are easy to explore.
This tour is a relaxed, well-rounded introduction to Rose Island — combining one of the Bahamas’ most iconic experiences with easy swimming, open water views, and the freedom to enjoy it all without being rushed.
