Overview

This tour runs from booths outside Señor Frog's on Woodes Rodgers Walk to Rose Island, where pigs wade into the shallows to be fed, held and photographed. The visit is listed at 3 hours and bundles the swimming pigs encounter with beach snorkeling, gear included, plus landing and facility fees covered in the ticket. Guests start and finish at the meeting point, a short walk from the cruise pier.

The rhythm on the island, as reviewers repeatedly describe it, is pigs first, then beach snorkeling with provided gear, then free time. Water toys come at no extra charge: kayaks, paddleboards, floating mats and water trampolines are all mentioned across several reviews. On the return leg the crew often slows for turtles and a pass along the waterfront homes. Reviewers also describe a piglet-holding moment near the end, with staff offering to take pictures on travellers' own phones at no charge.

The no-meal version suits travellers who want the core experience and will either eat on the island or skip lunch entirely. Lunch and alcoholic drinks are sold separately on Rose Island, so bring a payment method if you plan to eat there.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points come up again and again in reviews of this exact trip.

Getting there. The meeting point is the booth outside Señor Frog's on Woodes Rodgers Walk, a short walk from the cruise pier, and it serves both cruise passengers and non-cruise guests. Allow a little buffer time to find it before check-in.
What to bring. A towel, sun cover and a card or cash: reviewers mention an on-island bar and restaurant with drinks and ice cream, none of it included in this ticket.
Food costs. Lunch is sold separately, and reviewers report paying per plate on the island. If eating on the island at lunchtime, some reviewers suggest the package with lunch included instead of this one.
Kids and families. Multiple reviewers took children and called the trip a highlight of their cruise, with the piglet-holding moment singled out. The snorkeling is supervised, which parents mentioned approvingly. Pushchairs are fine, though the tour is not wheelchair accessible.
Weather and timing. The boat ride can run hot, so a hat and water help. Good weather is required, and poor conditions can mean a rescheduled date or a full refund. Keep a cushion before any onward plans in case the schedule shifts.
Crowds and photos. The group can be large, up to 99 travellers.

Common issues. The timing is the main complaint: one reviewer booked specifically because of the 9:30 to 12:30 window, only to be told the boat would not return until 1:00 PM, so cruise passengers with tight schedules should build in slack. This version includes no lunch or alcoholic drinks, and one reviewer complained about rude service and small portions at the island lunch counter. Cancellation is free only up to 24 hours before departure, and the operator can cancel for weather or if a minimum number of travellers is not met, in which case a different date or a full refund is offered. The tour is not wheelchair accessible.

Common Questions

What Is Included In This Tour?

The ticket covers admission and landing and facility fees for Rose Island, the swimming pigs encounter, and use of snorkeling equipment. It runs about 3 hours from the listed itinerary.

Is Lunch Or Any Food Included?

No. This is the no-meal version, so lunch and alcoholic beverages are excluded and can be bought on Rose Island. Reviewers report paying per plate for lunch there. If you want food covered, reviewers suggest looking at the package that bundles lunch.

Where Does The Tour Meet, And Is Pickup Included?

Everyone checks in at the booth outside Señor Frog's on Woodes Rodgers Walk in Nassau, which serves both cruise passengers and non-cruise guests. Check-in is at 9:00 AM or 11:00 AM, with departures at 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. It is within walking distance of the cruise pier.

Is This Tour Good For Kids?

Yes, many reviewers took children and described it as the memorable part of their trip. Kids feed the pigs, and at the end there is usually a chance to hold a piglet while staff take photos. The snorkeling is supervised. Pushchairs are allowed and service animals are permitted, but the tour is not wheelchair accessible.

What Is The Cancellation Policy?

Cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside 24 hours there is no refund and changes are not accepted. Weather cancellations come with a different date or a full refund, and if the minimum traveller count is not met you get a different date, a different experience, or your money back.

What Should I Bring?

Swimwear, sunscreen, a towel and a hat, since the boat ride can be hot. Snorkel gear is supplied. Bring a phone or camera for the pig photos, and a payment method for optional food, drinks and ice cream on the island, since none of that is in the ticket.
