Arrange for a pick-up or make your way to the Paradise Island Ferry Terminal to catch your boat to Rose Island.

Climb aboard and enjoy a welcome cocktail while finding the perfect spot on board to watch the shoreline of Nassau recede as you sail away. 

Upon arrival at Rose Island, choose from an array of activities. Simply find a sunny or shady place on the pristine beach to relax and read a book or take a nap. Sidle up to the beach bar and indulge in a drink or two while listening to some island rhythms (own expense). Don snorkel gear and take to the sea to explore the underwater world bustling with living coral and schools of brilliantly colored tropical fish. Stroll down the island's winding paths and wade in the tidal pools. 

Your guide organizes group activities like beach volleyball and dizzy lizard, or you can rent a float or kayak. Sign up for a guided snorkeling tour or watch a fish-feeding show. All additional activities are at your own expense. 

Sit down for a buffet lunch on the pavilion overlooking the gorgeous harbor. See a sample buffet lunch menu in the Itinerary section. Savor the local flavors, accompanied by complimentary lemonade and a fully stocked cash bar. Then, stretch out in a hammock under a palm tree or lounge on the palm-shaded deck.

At the end of your remote tropical island adventure, enjoy the cruise back to Nassau.

Best Day Trip Yet

Highly recommend Sandy Toes. The activities are great - especially the pig play time. And the staff is so well organized and friendly. The drinks are also well made and the lunch is more than satisfying. The Sandy Toes compound has everything one needs to have a good time and be comfortable (good restrooms, showers, lounge chairs). Lastly - the peacocks were a nice surprise.

A day in paradise with Sandy toes and half the clothes
Kareem_P
, Apr 2021
Overall great day! Great atmosphere, location, guides and people! Great activities, nature oriented and of course, endless BOOZE! Only downside for me was the lack in variety of food, (no seafood) and the timing was short, felt more like a half day. Maybe if the departure was earlier in the morning AND later at the end of the day.

Nice tour but a bit overpriced if you don’t drink.
Benjamin_L

It was a nice fun tour. The boat surprisingly had a good number of people on it. Snorkeling wasn’t the greatest but it was definitely a nice way to relax a bit. Food was probably about a 3/5. Drinks were good. Tour was a bit overpriced if you don’t drink.

Must do trip while in Bahamas

Was great all around day. The staff was great on the boat and the island. Lot to do while you are there, the corn hole was good time. Drinks are generous pours and the lunch was amazing. Very kid friendly. The pigs come right to you and are very friendly. Would recommend to anyone.

Birthday excursion cancellation
Natalie
, Jan 2021
The operator cancelled a few hours before the excursion which was supposed to be for my birthday. They said it was due to weather. I ended up going through another provider last minute, it ended up being a very beautiful day (sunny/cloudy). I told them about the cancellation, and they said it was likely due to them not having enough people, which happens a lot in the Bahamas (if it’s not a group going, there is not enough $ for them to make).. Unprofessional and dishonest..

Good afternoon, We are sorry that you assume this to be the case. The captains monitor the weather on a daily basis and if there is any chance for concern, then a cancellation may be made. You would have been offered to move your excursion date or of course offered 100% full refund. The safety of our guests is of top priority, we hope to see you next time!

Amazing day

We had a wonderful time on the excursion. The island was beautiful, the snorkeling tour was fun, the lunch was tasty, but what made this truly exceptional was the friendly staff who all worked extra hard to make it a relaxing yet fun filled day. My 60 year old parents and my 8 and 10 year old daughters also said it was their favorite so there’s fun for all ages. I would definitely book this trip again.
