007 Private Beach Club -Swimming Pigs, Snorkeling, Lunch, Drinks

The snorkeling and Rose Island were beautiful (8/10), but the excursion was extremely poorly managed. Our tour which was supposed to be 10 AM-2 PM was rescheduled twice less than 24 hours before the excursion, with a final time of 12:30 PM-4:30 PM. We called Viator to cancel because we were worried about missing our 5:00 PM cruise. The operator then arrived, asked us not to cancel, and repeatedly guaranteed we'd be back at the cruise port by 4:30 PM and dropped off directly at the terminal. Based on those assurances, we withdrew our cancellation request. The excursion itself was enjoyable, but everything fell apart on the return. Despite reminding the crew multiple times that we had a cruise to catch, there was no urgency or organization. Passengers weren't called back to the boat, we didn't leave Rose Island until about 4:22 PM, and the captain even slowed down for 5 minutes so everyone could watch sea turtles. We weren't dropped off until 5:02 PM, forcing us to sprint 10–12 minutes to our ship. We only made it because others onboard intervened. Otherwise, we would’ve definitely missed our ship. What makes this so disappointing is that the issue wasn't bad weather or circumstances beyond their control—it was poor planning, repeated delays, disorganization, and promises they failed to keep. Throughout the ordeal, no one apologized or acknowledged the stress they caused. The snorkeling was good, but the operation deserves 1/10. If you're arriving by cruise ship, I strongly recommend choosing a different operator. Missing your ship is simply not a risk worth taking.

Our Captain Dion and 1st Mate Andrew were truly awesome! They were very welcoming and warming to our group. They did a great job keeping us all safe and made sure we enjoyed our experience.I absolutely recommend booking if you are in the Bahamas. Thanks again Dion and Andrew and all the 007 staff!

We had the best time with Captain Deon and his First mate Andrew! They were very helpful and Andrew got in when we were snorkeling to help everyone out too. It was my first time snorkeling but they made it an easy experience! There was good music, good energy, and so many memories were made. The private island was perfect, and the piggies 😍. Highlight of my trip and my teens loved it just as much!

Our tour was changed from 9am to 10am the day before hand. We never went to the reef to snorkel or the turtle sanctuary. Instead we went to a small area near some rocks to snorkel with very few fish. We were also told that we were on the “slower” of the two boats that day so our time on the island was cut short in order to make it back in time. The beach was nice and the bartenders were awesome.

I took my family of nine ranging from 7 to 75 years old. We all for the most part enjoyed the outing. The start was shaky because there isn't any information at the pickup point instructing where the sign in booth was. After exploring around the area, I found it and was only told that Captain Kareem was our captain. We stood in a very crowded area waiting and waiting. We got there as instructed at 9:30 for 10:00 excursion and at 10:30 we finally were called to board our boat. The boat was down about 3 feet from the pier with no steps. This proved very challenging especially for elderly people and my wife who was carefully picked up and cradled down onto the boat by Sherman. This man was incredible the entire cruise with everyone on board! He made it fun!!! Once we left the pier, the boat was having mechanical issues so we couldn't go fast. We traveled to the snorkeling site in the hot sun. Once there we enjoyed the snorkeling and then onto the swimming with the pigs which was really only standing in the water and feeding the pigs. My grandkids enjoyed it just the way it was. Access to the beach from the boat involved a fairly steep climb up stairs and the down to the beach. This was quite workout for my wife and myself. After lunch was over it was back to the boat and the trip home. Because of the mechanical problems it took over 30 minutes to get back under a blazing sun. My 7-year-old granddaughters had to be held under towels to protect them from overheating. Not the most enjoyable boat trip I have ever taken. They knew there was a problem with this boat, they should have either cancelled the trip or made other provisions. This was a fun and very interesting excursion if not for the grueling slow trip back.

Captain Andy and Captain Andrew were amazing! Easy pick up at Margaritaville Restaurant. Boat to Rose Island with snorkel stop and swim with sea turtles. Once at beach club we had lunch, drinks and got to feed the pigs. Very well organized and our kids had a blast. They are building a new pool which was almost done. The bartenders at the 007 Beach Club were all awesome. Very friendly. Found prices cheaper booking on Viator vs direct on their website. 4 hour tour which was perfect amount of time.

Had a great day trip with Oasis Ocean. We were able to snorkel and then enjoy some time on the private beach. It was a great trip and more lively.

Don’t miss this charter!! Captain Kareem and Shervin were AWESOME. Totally enriched the experience. Would have preferred to snorkel in a more calm area, but lots of wildlife to be seen. Saw a few green turtles before headed to the private beach. Island was great. Not to crowed for the 2 boats on the day we went. Island staff was fantastic!! Was a bit of construction going on, but didn’t interfere with our visit. Bar was reasonable and BBQ grilled lunch hit the spot. My wife and I strongly recommend this adventure! The star of the show was the pigs! Super cute and well behaved. They have a great system to introduce you to them. GO WITH 007!

Wednesday 10th December we visited this Beach Club on our Oasis Ocean 7 (007) Tour. It is located in a very picturesque bay on Rose Island and is reserved for the sole use of 007 Tour members. On arrival at the small jetty on the Island we climbed the stone steps to the top of the hillside the down the other side where the Beach Club is situated. The Club is home to the Tree House Bar, reviewed separately, as well as a seperate makeshift kitchen/cooking area. There were sunloungers lined up along the beachfront some under shaded areas. There is a large swing at the waters edge, where the waves lapped around it, a great photo opportunity. As we walked around the area we discovered a number of interesting features like statues, colorful figures, large pieces of driftwood. There was also a wooden staircase that led up to a small balcony/viewing area. We also saw a cage that housed a number of unusual birds. Sadly the weather curtailed our activities here as dark rain clouds loomed over us. We were unable to swim with the pigs, instead we ended up feeding them. For our own safety we were not allowed swim in the sea. The weather was not conducive to taking advantage of the sun loungers to sun bathe.

This excursion was absolutely amazing, would definitely do this the next time we visit! Staff were incredible and very friendly! Deon was a wonderful caption!
