THIS IS ON PARADISE ISLAND. Sandy Toes enforces a strict check-in policy. Check-in closes 30 min prior to 10:00am. Any guest who has not checked in by 9:30am on the day of their excursion forfeits their seat and is subject to the tour's 100% cancellation fee, and will be deemed a "no-show" guest.

9:30 AM
This activity will end right where it started.
Arrange for a pick-up or make your way to the Paradise Island Ferry Terminal to catch your boat to Rose Island.

Climb aboard 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.

Overall amazing
Joie_H

The staff did a wonderful job in making everyone have a great experience. The pigs were friendly and clean (they were actually rescued and are taken care of on the island). The drinks were absolutely amazing and the food was as well. My boyfriend and I chose to go snorkeling and it was awesome. We even saw a sea turtle. The island was beautiful, I would recommend this to anyone looking to see pigs in Nassau.

It was fun. We all thought the food and complimentary drinks were good. The swimming with the pigs were a hit-miss thing. Lots of people with very few pigs. It was more like you got to feed the pigs quickly and get your picture with them after waiting in line to do this. The beach was absolutely gorgeous! My kids said the snorkeling was just “OK” as they did not see a variety of fish.

The charter boat from Nassau Paradise Island was smooth and nice scenery. When we go there, staff was informative and pleasant. The snorkeling was amazing and perfect time length. The beach had plenty of chairs and canoes and paddle boards. The food was ok but the bar made amazing drinks. This tour has everything for every age range and is great for families.

This was great experience. The ride was marvelous. My recommendation to The pigs crew is to train the pigs not to pop in the water. You can do it.

Phenomenal experience. Took us on a boat ride from Paradise Island to Rose Island. We were greeted with the option to go snorkeling. Staff were friendly and helpful. Unlimited drinks with wrist bands. Freedom to enjoy the beach. The pigs were well trained and the trainers let you feed the pigs and take plenty of photos. Lunch was buffet style and delicious. Enjoyable day trip for couples, families, elderly, and for all.

Our family enjoyed our day trip to Sandy Toes. The kids enjoyed the snorkeling and the interaction with the pigs. We were on a full boat but once we were on the island everything was spread out and did not feel crowded. The bar service was great and the lunch was really good as well. Would definitely recommend to families, especially with young ones if you’re not up for the longer boat rides to Exuma.

My bf and I had a great time! Our other tour was canceled due to weather so decided to call them day of, at 8am hoping we could find something last min. Luckily they had availability!!! We arranged pick up with them and had the best time! Snorkeling was fun and informative, the drinks that came with the tour were SO Delicious and the food, so perfect for an afternoon at the beach! The pigs were so entertaining and the water/view was just breathtaking! This was one of the best parts of our trip! Hopefully we can come back and bring more friends! Thanks again for a great time Sandy Toes!!!

We showed up to the dock to be told the tour was cancelled for weather. I realized I had received an email an hour before, but since we were already in route I didn’t receive it. It’s the 2nd time we’ve booked this tour and it’s been cancelled, the first time I received a text as well. It was a bit of an annoying process to apply for the refund as well.

Everything from beginning to end was amazing! The island is private, which makes the experience special. What can I say about the pigs, adorable experience and so well behaved. The lunch was delicious, and all this because the staff is beyond amazing!
