The experience

The boat picks you up and heads to Green Cay first, where you'll snorkel in coral reefs filled with colorful fish and sea life while sea turtles swim around you. You can watch them but won't swim with them. From there, Rose Island offers long stretches of powdery white sand and clear water to wade or relax in, a contrast to the reef work. The third stop is Sandy Cay, a 3-acre island 15 minutes from Nassau harbour known for being one of the most photographed islands in the Caribbean. The aqua water there is shallow enough to snorkel or just float in.

The final stop is a beach bar and grill where you can grab lunch (not included in the tour price) and spend time on activities like volleyball, billiards, or karaoke while looking out at the ocean. Snorkel gear is provided, and bottled water comes with the tour. The whole outing runs four hours. Note that swimming with the pigs is not part of this tour but can be added for an extra fee if you want it.
