Swimming with the pigs was an incredible experience, once in a lifetime event. The staff both on the boat and on land with the pigs was wonderful and I would recommend this to anyone.

A bit of difficulty finding our boat at the harbour but fantastic help getting on board (I walk with a stick). Great boat trip out to Rose Island (though be prepared to be sitting in full sun for an hour). Very well organised. At Rose Island we were given a group number and clear guidance. When in the sea with the pigs it all happens very quickly! You need to keep your arms out of the water otherwise the pigs will think you have food. Unfortunately I lost my balance in the frenzy of the pigs coming into the sea, my arm went down to water level and a very large pig thought I was a snack - and bit me. No blood drawn but a mighty bruise! So it's VERY important to stand steady and keep your arms out of the water when the big pigs are around - they are very focused on their snacks! It was a fun time and Rose Island is simply beautiful. Lovely cool restaurant looking over the beach. Incredible turquoise sea. Unspoilt beaches. Kind staff. Very well organised. The most beautiful location!

This completed our cruise vacation! The Captain, Danny, was top tier and very skilled at what he does! The staff was entertaining, engaging, and extremely pleasant! We couldnt have picked a better crew to guide us to this gorgeous private island and pigs. We own a private charter company in Florida and can say without a doubt, this crew is the BEST! WE CANT WAIT TO GO AGAIN! Thank you for an amazing excursion that exceeded our expectations! The attendant narrating did a fantastic job educating us on everything Bahamas! We loved the staff on the island as well!
