Snorkeling Rose Island: Swimming Pigs & Reef

Turtles live in a sanctuary you can visit on the same morning as the swimming pigs.

A four-hour snorkeling trip from Nassau visits three stops: a tropical reef between Pearl Island and Rose Island, a turtle sanctuary at Green Cay, and the 007 Beach Club on Rose Island where you swim with pigs. The boat departs from Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville restaurant, and the day includes snorkel gear, a grilled lunch and time to explore the beach club's photo spots and freshwater showers.

The experience

The powerboat leaves Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville restaurant (not the hotel) and heads out into Nassau harbor. Your first stop is the reef between Pearl Island and Rose Island, where you enter the water with snorkel gear to see the tropical fish and coral. The second stop is Green Cay, where you watch turtles in their natural habitat without entering the water. Then the boat takes you to the 007 Beach Club on Rose Island itself, where you get in the water again to swim alongside the pigs: the moment most people come for.

At the beach club you have access to hammocks and lounge chairs, limestone freshwater showers, and areas built for photos: a bird-themed observation deck called "Da Nest" and a newly added aviary. The natural foliage is dense with mature native trees. Lunch is a hot dog, hamburger or veggie burger from the grill, served with chips. You choose your departure time (9am, 10am or 12:30pm), and the whole experience runs four hours.

Snorkel equipment is included. Arrive 30 minutes early for check-in. Children from age 2 are welcome, though infants must sit on an adult's lap. A cocktail bar operates at the beach club if you want to add a drink beyond what's included.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (2 to 12 years).

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What is the snorkeling like at Rose Island reef?

The reef between Pearl Island and Rose Island is a vibrant tropical reef where you enter the water with snorkel gear to see the fish and coral formations. It's your first stop after leaving Nassau harbor.

Can I really swim with the pigs at the 007 Beach Club?

Yes. The 007 Beach Club on Rose Island is your final stop, and swimming with the pigs is the main event there. You'll be in the water with them, and the beach club has photo-friendly spots including a bird-nest observation deck called "Da Nest" if you want pictures from above the water too.

What time does the boat leave, and how long is the whole trip?

You choose either the 9am, 10am or 12:30pm departure. The entire experience is four hours, which includes the powerboat ride, all three stops, and time at the beach club.

What's included in the lunch?

Lunch is a grilled hot dog, hamburger or veggie burger served with chips. You pick which one when you board. Drinks beyond what's included can be purchased at the TreeHouse Bar on the beach club.

Do I need to bring my own snorkel gear?

No. Snorkel equipment is included in the tour. Towels and sunscreen are not included, so bring or buy those separately.
