Escape Nassau by boat for four hours on Rose Island. You get white sand, clear water, lounge chairs, water toys, sports, an observation deck, and an optional swimming pigs encounter. Lunch and drinks cost extra, and cruise passengers have separate pickup rules.

“This was worth every single penny and then some. This experience felt like the ultimate Bahamian dream come to life. The day was packed with activities, everything was well timed and smooth that it never felt rushed. Swimming with the pigs was absolutely surreal. They’re even cuter (and sassier) in person, and it’s not every day you get to say you hung out with pigs on a pristine beach. The meal they served was delicious— For the price, this tour is a total steal. I’d honestly pay more for the memories I took away from this day with my family. If you’re on the fence about it, don’t hesitate.”
