Experience a true taste of The Bahamas, with a day at Sandy Toes. Sandy Toes is home to a sanctuary of protected wildlife including our Royal Peacocks, curly tail lizards, ocean reef life and our beloved “farm–saved” beach-going, swimming pigs! These big guys and some little guys are vet checked and cared for on the regular, and only given the cleanest diet served with plenty of love, sunshine, and sunscreen (yes, sunscreen!) With tons of space to run around, the ocean next door to take a dip in, and a protected and shaded pad to call their own, they’re living the dream on Rose Island! Come see for yourself at Sandy Toes….it’s the perfect way to spend your day!
Come meet and play with our swimming pigs! Included on the Full Day Excursion!
Your beach trip to Rose Island includes a delicious buffet lunch accompanied by a tropical open bar that's available all day long!

We did a lot of research on a pig excursion that wasn’t as far from Nassau as the Exumas and we picked the right one! It was an easy pickup from the Atlantis. Just right next to the Margaritaville restaurant. The boat ride was only about 20-30 minutes on gorgeous waters and the crew point out some of the celebrity owned mansions along the way. We snorkeled (optional) right when we got there and got to see a turtle. Our guide found some starfish and sea cucumbers and let us all hold them and take pictures. Then we got drinks (complimentary unless you get premium stuff) and headed to the beach. The water is insanely beautiful and they bring the pigs out every half hour so that everyone gets a chance to swim with them and get photos. The pigs are very well trained and seem happy and well taken care of by the trainers. We were told they are mostly rescues from slaughterhouses in the U.S.
Lunch was one of the better meals we had on our trip. Delicious grilled chicken, hot dogs, pasta salad, regular salad, and beans and rice. Then we went back to the beach for more pig time and lounging in hammocks. There are also peacocks and chickens and we even got to go back to the stalls and visit some baby goats and pigs. I’m not sure that’s always an option but our group was much smaller than normal because the weather was supposed to be bad that day but cleared up. It was one of the best vacation excursions I’ve ever done. Love the island, love the staff, didn’t want to leave!

The tour was very well run and organized. We saw beautiful things while snorkeling and safety was a BIG priority. The afternoon was lovely and staff was great! But if you think you’re exploring an island inhabited by pigs who swim, you’re not. These cute pigs are kept in their pen and brought out every 30 minutes to perform for us tourists. It’s all very choreographed with one staff member in the water holding food and another on the beach with food so all of us tourists can get our photo op. I am sure the pigs are very well cared for and we were told the facility is a sanctuary with a few of the pigs rescued from Florida but I felt badly knowing the pigs were brought to the island and trained for my amusement. That’s just me. Same reason I would never swim with (trapped) dolphins or want to disrupt the natural habitat of any living creature.

Highly recommend! We stopped in Nassau on our cruise but all of the excursions were booked. So grateful to have found this one. Staff were amazing, the island was beautiful, food delicious and you can not beat swimming with the pigs. Our 4 almost teenage girls were super impressed and that is saying ALOT. Would definitely do this again.

What a fun day, especially as an excursion for something a little different from Atlantis or one of the big resorts. Snorkeling was great. The boat ride was fairly short and you felt like you were on a secluded private island all to yourself. Food and drinks were good too and of course the pigs were hilarious.
