Overview

This half-day trip from Nassau packs a lot into about four hours: hotel pickup in an air-conditioned van, a short driving tour with karaoke, a 20-minute boat ride to Rose Island, beach time, a roughly 30-minute encounter with the resident pigs, and an included lunch before the ride back. J&S Tours & Swimming Pigs runs it, and the group cap listed is 30 travellers.

The pigs are the draw, and reviewers say the animals are used to visitors and know the routine. One wrote that a nervous friend ended up calling it her favourite part of the trip. Around the pig session there is time to swim, kayak or paddleboard, with equipment and towels provided, and beach chairs are set out for anyone who would rather sit. Several travellers mentioned the boat crews also pause to look for sea turtles on the crossing.

It suits families, including those with toddlers, and anyone who wants a door-to-boat-to-beach day without arranging their own transport. Lunch, bottled water and round-trip transfers are all in the price, though gratuities are not included. Confirm your exact pickup point at booking, since one guest found the meeting instructions for the Atlantis area confusing.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical things will shape the day, based on what travellers repeatedly report.

Confirm pickup details. Pickup is included, but the meeting point matters. One guest at the Atlantis resorts found the address given confusing, so double-check the exact spot and time before the morning of the tour.
Bring cash. Lunch and bottled water are included, but gratuities are not. One reviewer was disappointed the men's pig shirts had sold out, so if a shirt matters, buy early.
Towels and gear provided. Towels, kayaks, paddleboards and beach chairs are all provided, so there is less to carry.
Weather decides the day. This experience requires good weather, and cancellations for weather come with a new date or a full refund.
Family friendly pace. Travellers with young children, including one family with a two-year-old, said the day ran easily.
Karaoke and music. Karaoke on the van is listed as part of the package, with guests carrying their own key. Several reviewers described the staff and atmosphere as fun and lively.

Common issues. The recurring complaints are about logistics. One guest reported a confusing meeting point near the Atlantis resorts and trouble reaching the operator by phone that morning. This experience requires good weather to run, and cancellations for weather come with a different date or a full refund. The tour is not wheelchair accessible.
