Great tour to Rose island with snorkeling
It was a great tour to Rose island with snorkeling. Unfortunately our scheduled date was cancelled but we were able to reschedule it the next day and everything went smoothly. On the way we had water, snorkeling equipment. Would say this experience worth the money spent

Memorable fun experience
Perfect tour included 2 separate spots for snorkeling with plenty of fish and sea turtles, followed by a private beach oasis on Rose Island. Unlimited rum punch (delish) and made to order burgers and dogs. Pigs arrive on beach where we feed them. Good music selection and staff was friendly. Highly recommend this tour even if you are not a great swimmer as they provide flotation devices and snorkeling gear. All 4 of us loved it and would go again!

Very nice time!
Absolutely loved swimming with the piggies. They were a joy to see and interact with. The cookout and drinks were awesome. Rose Island is beautiful. The only disappointment was the snorkeling. No fault of your own but you can definitely see the reefs are dying and therefore barley were any fish around. It’s very sad to see this. Else we would give it 5 stars but for the money we spent we were hoping for a little more. Else we had a truly lovely day.
