Overview

This trip from Bahamas Jet Boat Ltd. Packs pigs, snorkeling, a private beach club and an all-inclusive drinks setup into a run that lasts between 2.5 hours and 4 hours, depending on the option booked. It starts at the Elizabeth on Bay office on Bay Street in Nassau, a short walk from the cruise port, then continues by boat past Atlantis and the Ocean Club Golf Course Clubhouse. The main stop is around Atholl Island, where the boat passes Rose Island, the Sun Cay lighthouse and Blue Lagoon Island along the way.

On the island the day splits into three loose blocks: the pig encounter in the shallows, a short snorkeling session, and free time at a private beach club. The club carries the bulk of the inclusions, things like unlimited rum punch, soda, snacks, paddleboards, kayaks, a volleyball court, a water trampoline, floaties, hammocks, swings, beach games and a hatchet toss. A complimentary photo and video package is also part of the deal, and snorkel gear is provided.

It suits families with young kids, cruise passengers on a tighter port window and anyone who wants a packed activity list rather than a quiet beach day. Only gratuities sit outside the price.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points shape how this day goes, from what to pack to how the group runs.

What to bring. Plan the basics yourself. Since the inclusions cover rum punch, soda and snacks, anything else you want on the day is worth carrying with you.
Food and drink. Lunch is served on the island, with several reviewers calling it out, one saying to order the wings. Unlimited rum punch and soda are included, plus snacks. Gratuities are the only listed exclusion.
Group feel. The trip carries a maximum of 60 travellers, so expect a lively, organized crowd rather than a quiet escape. Multiple reviewers praised the staff and the organization, while one described the pig feeding itself as chaotic, with seagulls diving for the food. Following the crew's instructions goes a long way.
Pace and water time. The on-island block is listed at 1 hour 15 minutes, and one review mentions the snorkeling portion runs about 15 minutes, with the crew throwing bread in to draw the fish. One cruise passenger said they still had plenty of time for the 4-hour tour. Timing can vary with conditions on the day.
Photos. A complimentary photo and video package is included, and multiple reviewers singled it out as a bonus. One reviewer also praised the photographer on the day.
Weather. The experience requires good weather. If weather cancels the tour, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

Common issues. The tour needs a minimum number of travellers, and if that minimum is not met it can be cancelled, with a different date or experience or a full refund. Weather also has to cooperate for the tour to run. The full refund window requires cancelling at least 24 hours before start time. The trip is not wheelchair accessible, though pushchairs are fine and infants can sit on laps. A few honest hiccups appear in reviews: the pigs are assertive and the seagulls compete for the feed, and snorkeling time is short, around 15 minutes by one reviewer's account.
