Rose Island Pig Excursion (Shared)
Chartered Boats & ExcursionsNassau · The Bahamas
The famous swimming pigs live just offshore — ten to twenty-five minutes by boat from the Nassau marina, across water so clear you can watch the bottom the whole way out. At Rose Island the pigs come to meet the boat. You swim beside them in the shallows, feed them, and get the photographs everyone at home will demand. Then the island is yours: white-sand beach time, and snorkelling over the reef for anyone who wants to see what lives beneath the surface. The excursion runs as a half day for groups of ten or more, with children aged five to twelve at the reduced rate. It's one of the most requested trips in the Bahamas, so book ahead of your travel dates. Two departures a day, and they run different lengths. The 9:30 AM boat is the full four-hour version: check in at 8:45 AM (Señor Frog's, for cruise passengers) or 9:00 AM (our dock across from Waterloo), on Rose Island by 9:50, beach time from 10 until 2, back in Nassau around 2 PM. The 11:30 AM boat is the shorter three-hour version: check in at 11:00 AM at the same spots, and you're back by 3 PM. Same pigs, same beach, just less time on the sand.

On October 11, 2026 my mom, 1 of my brothers, and I visited Nassau via cruise ship. Our personal driver Don was AMAZING!!! He was very knowledgeable. He made sure that we hit all the stops on our list as well as took us to places that we wouldn’t have thought of. He gave Great recommendations for a local restaurant to try authentic Bahamian cuisine. We will defiantly be booking Don again when we come to visit Nassau again with our whole family.
