This Nassau tour takes you by boat to Rose Island, Rainbow Reef and Green Cay for swimming with pigs, snorkeling among sea turtles and colorful fish, and beach time—all in 3.5 hours with pickup from two Nassau locations, snorkel gear, and a guide in English, Spanish, French or German. The boat carries bottled water, soft drinks and snacks; you can buy lunch at the beach bar or bring your own. Infants sit on an adult's lap; the tour is not suitable for travelers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health.

The Experience

You board the boat in Nassau and ride 20 minutes to Rose Island, where the pigs swim out to meet you in shallow water. Your guide brings treats so you can hand-feed them and hold a baby piglet if you want—bring a waterproof camera because this part is the reason most people book. After the pigs, the beach bar sits right there on the sand with a full menu and a relaxed vibe; you can grab a drink, play beach volleyball or just sit in a chair and watch the water.

The snorkeling happens at two stops on the way back. Rainbow Reef sits in front of Gilligan's Island and fills with parrotfish, damselfish and electric-blue fish moving through brilliant corals—the reef edge is shallow and gentle, so it works for beginners. Green Cay is where you'll see sea turtles in crystal-clear water, along with occasional stingrays in the shallows. Both spots are calm and accessible, and the guide gives a quick safety briefing before you go in.

The whole day runs 3.5 hours door-to-door, which matters if you're docked at a cruise port—the operator tracks your ship and gets you back on time. Pickup happens from two Nassau locations, and the boat carries snorkel gear, life jackets, bottled water, soft drinks and snacks. Kayaks and paddleboards are available at Rose Island if you want to stay active between the snorkeling and the beach.

Is this one for you?You get three separate snorkeling moments—pigs, turtles and a coral reef—without spending half your day on boat transfers, because the 20-minute ride from Nassau and the 3.5-hour total keeps the whole excursion tight enough to fit between a cruise port call or a short afternoon free.
