Over all, it was a Fantastic trip to Rose Island. From the Hotel Pick up to Hotel Drop off, it was absolutely amazing experience. Daniel was the best hotel pickup driver. Very informative and helpful! All the Boat captains and members were amazing.. you’ll Love the Blue Water and Ofcourse the Swimmig Pigs 🐖. One of the Best Experience that my wife and I had in Nassau Bahamas.

The experience was great for a family. The beach is beautiful and the pig interaction was fun, but could have been a bit longer and more interactive. The staff were great.

Amazing trip! A small group not too large. All well organised no waiting around! Quick straight on the boat to the island and into the experience same with the way home. The experience was perfect time on the beach, time with pigs and a delicious lunch! The staff couldn’t have done more to make it a great time! Would recommend 100%

Very fun experience. The lunch provided was delicious and the tour guides were very friendly! The pigs were very friendly, too!

The shuttle was late, but the driver was apologetic and educational. The island management needs major work. Only had 10 mins with pigs, weren’t allowed to swim with them and they moved so fast that you couldnt get any good pics. The bar was an hour wait and food was mediocre. A lot of money for a meh experience. Btw, we did a different tour 4 years ago and wish we went with them again.

From pick up to drop off it was just a great excision. GG our host was just amazing. The beach area at pearl island was Pristine the pigs were all friendly and well kept. Even the lunch they served was delicious. Highly recommend. Plus, the trip was only a half day and the weather wasn’t so great so we still managed to get out and enjoy a wonderful time and get back to the pool.

We had a great time! The tour operator was very easy to work with-I made multiple changes and they kept the communication lines open. I appreciated that they worked with us (rain was forecast on our day, so we changed to an earlier day, and we changed hotels). The driver was on time and friendly. The tour itself was fun. The facilities were quite nice, given the remoteness of the island. It never felt crowded. The pig interaction was fun-but be forewarned-you don’t swim WITH the pigs. You feed them and pet them and then they demonstrate the swimming. It was fun. The food was really amazing. Best I’ve had on an excursion. The staff was all friendly. And my kids even kayaked and boogie boarded! Really all in all a great day! The only negative was that the boat to and from rose island was playing music really LOUD, otherwise, a perfect excursion.

The driver showed up as expected but once we got to the boat they were not expecting us and we’re confused. Had to show them our booking confirmation and still they looked confused. Still they let us on the boat. Once we got to Rose Island, they asked us where our wrist bands were and who we came with, we were like, huh….? Again they let us see the pigs after some back and forth. Then it came time for lunch so I got in line as instructed, they asked me for a ticket and told me to go get one, so I walked over to the lady and was questioned again because they did not have us on their itinerary. She took me over to the owner and they asked to see my hooking again, we waiting for another 5-10 minutes and they finally gave me the tickets to get lunch. By this time, there was a long line I had to sit in, not to mention, not t much time left to sit and enjoy our lunch. Then we jumped in the boat and headed back where we were met by our driver once again. To sum it up, the driver was great but everything outside of that was a terrible experience besides getting to see the pigs swim. I would recommend booking through another vender as there seemed to be a lot of confusion from the crew when booking through Viator.

Hello,
we are very sorry you had this experience, we are only in charge of the pickup and drop off experience, we will pass the along to Da Pig Beach to make sure this is corrected.

We wanted to love this but fell short. We were picked up at the cruise terminal at 9:10AM and forced to wait for over an hour on the dock for other guests to arrive. We left for Rose Island at 10:15AM. The boat ride was 45 minutes and you land at a small facility on a beautiful beach. There are chairs set up and a bar area. You can swim and relax. There are about 15 pigs in a pen (not wild/swimming or native pigs as in Eluthera). They give you apples, you stand in the ocean and they let the pigs out of the pen for 20 minutes. They are adorable and friendly... but a super "Disney World" vs reality experience. Lunch was grilled chicken, salad, rice, plantains and you wait in line like cattle. Took 40 minutes to wait on line and get food. One woman served lunch person by person to 80 people! You were limited to 2 sides out of 6 options. She wrapped up left over food and took vs letting the guest eat? On return boat ride, staff begs for tips. At $199 per person... I think we paid enough.
