The experience
You're picked up from your Nassau hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle for a scenic drive to Fort Montague, where a 20-minute boat ride takes you out to Rose Island. The journey itself includes karaoke, so the ride becomes part of the day rather than just transit. When you arrive at the beach, the property is calm and the water is clear. You walk up the pathway and straight into the kind of shallow, warm water that invites you in immediately.
The pig encounter is the centerpiece: a show is held where you feed, pet and interact with the pigs in the water. After that, the day is yours to structure. Sit back in a beach chair and watch the waterfront, or move between the bar for a cold drink and the shack for authentic Bahamian food. Lunch is included, as is bottled water. The whole arc (transport, boat, beach time, the pigs, food and drinks) fits into four hours, which means you're back in Nassau by early afternoon.
The tour suits families with children as young as three, and the operator notes it's suitable for all fitness levels. If you're marking a birthday, anniversary or graduation, let them know when you book. They can set up the pool table and arrange something special for the occasion.
Is this one for you?Book this if you want to swim, feed pigs, and eat on the beach all in one afternoon: the included pickup and boat ride from Fort Montague mean you're on Rose Island within hours of deciding to go.
