Highlights
  • Rose Island - Rose Island, famous for it’s length and shape like a rose, is where we will stop to experience reef snorkeling in aqua blue waters. It is very quiet and secluded. This is where you will enjoy quality beach time with family and friends.
  • Green Cay - Green Cay, not to be confused with Green Turtle Cay many miles away, is where you can feed turtles and should weather permit, even snorkel with them. The turtles will pop their heads above water.
  • Athol Island - Athol is where we stop to swim with pigs. You will be given treats, go out to the water and the pigs swim to you. They are tame, friendly and smarter than dogs.
  • Sandy Cay - Otherwise known as “Gilligan’s Island” is where you can do sightseeing, take photos and enjoy nostalgic ambience in the Bahamas Sun!

Don't miss this excursion! - Snorkeling with the sea turtles was awesome. The water was so clear, a ton of turtles and beautiful fish within ft of you. Feeding the pigs was awesome. Water was so clear, the pigs were friendly and staff was amazing.

A great morning out just not all about the pigs - Although technically we didn't get to swim with the pigs, we did get to feed the pigs and more importantly we had a great time. We went to the marina around 9am and met our pilot/host/guide. The boat is not massive but big enough for a group of 6 people. Not the easiest of things to board. There is no toilet on the boat, and we were onboard for around 3 hours. Once we were comfortably onboard the pilot took us out of the marina and told us all about the people that live in the expensive houses as we passed them heading out to the ocean. The first place we stopped was a little area where we could go snorkelling with the fish in crystal clear waters; we decided not to do this. The next stop is a place that serves hotdogs on another island (unfortunately it was not open because it was early due to us not going snorkelling). We then headed to where the turtles are which is next to a beautiful quiet island with sandy beaches and again crystal-clear waters (basically paradise). We ended up spending a little over an hour at this location, turtle watching, roaming the beach and having a swim. The last location was the swimming with the pigs (in this case feeding the pigs). It's a very busy location and very commercialised so not as pretty as the rest of the trip and quite chaotic. Due to the number of people and the fact that the pigs prefer food to having a swim you probably won't get to swim with any.

Great time for the family - Great island experience. Tevin and Tion are excellent and very attentive to make the trip memorable. The pig island and snorkeling excursions were a surreal time. Highly recommend to anybody.

Family Excursion - This was the highlight of our family vacation. As a family we have done many excursions, but this one was by far the best. Mainly due to Captain Tevin. We had a member in our group was injured and needed special attention. Captain Tevin went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable. Tevin was fun, very knowledgeable, accommodating. For the price compared to all the other excursion I feel like this would be the best choice, especially for families. We saw, turtles(lots of them), snorkeling was great and the swim w/ pigs was fun, plus the island history was an added benefit.

Super bad, never show up at marina and never pickup the phone. - I book the trip on Viator, they send me the meeting point at the Bayshore marina. Arrived 20 minutes earlier and no one never show up. Ask anothers captain on site and they dont know the company or the Captain Newbold. Try to call from my phone and from a local guy phone, no answer. Security dont know them either. Now im on the process to get my refund.

Absolute crap to match the pigs doing that in the water this tour was horrible and stressful. - Tour guide didnt show up at the tour. Then when he did late he cancelled the whole thing. Had us repay him in CASH. He wanted a higher rate than the online one. Then when we rescheduled for afternoon he pushed us onto a different tour. Then when we got to pig island more money was requested from that guide saying we didnt pay for the pigs. Complete garbage that we had it all included and then to cancel, reschedule, demand cash, then redemand more payment.
