Short, but sweet

There was no swimming with involved. Feeding the pigs in the water would be more accurate. That being said, my 14yo thought it was fun, the 12 yo loved it, and the 10yo was really scared. There was no snorkeling with the turtles. But now that I read it again, it was my misunderstanding. They took us to a (sadly) pretty tired reef for 20 minutes and we had to head back so they could try to make us buy something at the restaurant. If the time at the restaurant had been replaced with snorkeling, with or without turtles, it would be a 5 star review.

Swim with the pigs

What a great excursion! We were met at the dock from the ship. The staff on the boat were very friendly. Then on rose island we were able to use all the amenities on the island like the kayaks, stand up paddle boards, water trampoline etc. The food was $25pp which we passed on. Swimming with the fish was the highlight of my kids day! Great time!

It was the experience of a lifetime!

This was an experience of a lifetime and I am so glad I went while my husband went on his fishing trip! From the check in staff to the captain and crew on the boat to the staff on the island that worked with the pigs and guided The various groups to kayaking and snorkeling to the staff in the bar/ restaurant area, everyone was so friendly and was there to make the experience memorable for all Who were there. If you visit Nassau this is a definite must!

Very strange

Very disorganized, we got 20 mins snorkeling over completely dead coral - clearly dead from large scale bleaching and then algal overgrowth, but blamed by the tour guide on 'tourists touching it'. Tour guides should have at least basic information about the ecology of the reef. The pig swim was bizarre.

Operator response

Not quite sure what was bizarre about the pig swim as you booked the swimming pigs excursion…As for the coral, there is no bleaching period and we do not appreciate you stating ecological impressions as bold fact. We cannot control the marine life. If there is such a major, misplaced, concern regarding the Bahamas reefs, the correct department of complaint might be the Bahamas National Trust.

You must swim with pigs at least once in your life!

Check in was easy and boarding was quick. The crew of our ship was organized, friendly, helpful and very informative. The ride to the Sand Dollar Resort on Rose Island was smooth and we loved the historical information provided by the crew. Hint: Sit in the middle seats if you don't want to get wet. Meeting and feeding the pigs was so fun. Especially loved our snuggle with Cookie! The beach is private and the water is fairly calm and warm. Kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkelling and water trampolines were provided free of charge which was great. We choose snorkelling and saw most fish in the area where they bring out the pigs. There was lots of time to relax and take in the beauty of the island. On the ride home we stopped to see turtles in the water and checked out the celebrity beach mansions. Fabulous day and we would absolutely recommend it.

Highly recommend — I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

If you’re looking for a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience in The Bahamas, this is IT. From the moment we stepped onto the boat, the crew made us feel welcomed, safe, and genuinely excited for the adventure ahead. The boat ride to Rose Island was smooth and scenic, with crystal‑clear turquoise water that already felt unreal. And then… the pigs. Swimming with the pigs was everything I hoped for and more — playful, friendly, and absolutely adorable. Getting in the water with them was such a unique and joyful experience, and the staff did a fantastic job ensuring both guests and animals were treated with care and respect. Plenty of time for photos, laughs, and unforgettable memories! What truly sets this experience apart is the crew. They were professional, knowledgeable, fun, and clearly passionate about what they do. Every detail was well‑organized, making the entire trip completely stress‑free and enjoyable. This excursion is the perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and pure fun. Whether you’re traveling with friends, family, or celebrating a special occasion, this is an absolute must‑do in The Bahamas. ✨ Highly recommend — I’d do it again in a heartbeat! ✨

Swimming with the Pigs – The REAL Experience (Trip Daddy Review)

you’re even thinking about swimming with the pigs… JUST BOOK IT. Seriously — this was hands down one of the most unforgettable experiences of our entire trip. We booked through Trip Daddy, and from the very beginning, everything was seamless. The pickup was flawless — they made sure no one was left behind, stayed organized, and kept everything running smoothly without feeling rushed or chaotic (which is rare on excursions like this!). Our tour guide was EVERYTHING — super informative, hilarious, and kept the entire group engaged the whole time. You could tell they genuinely love what they do, and it made such a difference in the overall experience. The boat ride was about 25 minutes, and honestly, it flew by with the energy and excitement building the entire way. And then… you arrive. And WOW. Swimming with the pigs is truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment. They come right up to you, they’re playful, a little sassy (in the best way 😂), and completely unforgettable. It’s one of those experiences that feels surreal — like, “Is this actually happening right now?!” After all the pig fun, we had time to kick back, eat, drink, and just soak it all in. The beach was absolutely beautiful — clear water, soft sand, and the perfect vibe to relax and take it all in. ⭐ Final Thoughts: ✔ Easy, organized pickup ✔ Amazing, funny, knowledgeable guide ✔ Smooth and quick boat ride ✔ Bucket-list experience with the pigs ✔ Time to relax, eat, and enjoy the beach 10/10 recommend. No notes. No regrets. Just do it. 🐷🌊🍹
