Overview

This four-hour excursion from Nassau pairs the famous swimming pigs with a relaxed stretch of beach time on Rose Island. It starts at Lukka Kairi Waterfront Bar and Grill on Woodes Rodgers Walk, where travellers on the morning departure without pickup are asked to be present by 9:45 am. From there a roughly 30-minute boat run carries the group out to the island, with lifejackets available onboard.

The heart of the trip is the pig encounter on a private beach. Reviewers describe the pigs and piglets running out onto the beach to meet guests, and feeding and holding them is a recurring highlight. Crew members regularly take photos and videos on guests' phones. Around the encounter there is time to swim, snorkel with the provided gear, use paddle boards, or claim a beach chair in the shade.

A Bahamian lunch and one soft drink, either water or iced tea, are included, along with all fees, taxes and wifi on the island. Towels and alcoholic drinks are not, though an onsite beach bar sells them. The trip suits families and couples, runs with a maximum of 45 travellers, and returns by boat to the original meeting point.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points shape how this day goes, from what to pack to how the pig encounter actually works.

Bring a towel. Towels are not included, so pack your own. One reviewer also noted there is no fresh water for rinsing off on the island.
How the pigs work. The pigs and piglets are brought out onto the beach to meet guests, who can feed and hold them. One reviewer mentioned being briefed on how to feed them correctly. Reviewers say the actual pig interaction is a shorter portion of the day, with beach time filling the rest.
Food and drink. Lunch and one soft drink are covered. Alcohol and additional drinks cost extra at the beach bar. The Bahamian lunch itself gets frequent praise.
Choppy crossing. One reviewer described the water as a little choppy during their visit, though they could still swim and snorkel without much trouble. The crossing is generally described as quick, and one reviewer called the catamaran ride exceptional.
Photos and crew. Crew members offer to take pictures and videos on guests' own phones, and reviewers repeatedly single out the staff as friendly and attentive.
Kids and gear. The tour is kid-friendly, pushchairs are accessible, and infants sit on laps. Families travelling with children repeatedly say it worked well for them, and snorkel gear plus paddle boards are provided free of charge.

Common issues. A few honest caveats come up. The listed Green Turtle Cay stop did not happen for at least one reviewer, and several note the pig interaction itself is only a fraction of the total time. One reviewer found drinks at the beach bar overpriced. The group is capped at 45 travellers, and one reviewer described the crowd feeling small, like a private beach. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, and it needs good weather; cancellations for weather come with a different date or a full refund. Cancel at least 24 hours before start time for a full refund, otherwise nothing is refunded.
