Sandy Toes Rose Island Full Day: Swimming Pigs, Lunch & Open Bar
Overview
Spend a full day on your own slice of the Bahamas. Sandy Toes is the original Rose Island swimming pig experience: a private beach just 30 minutes by boat from Paradise Island, with turquoise water, hammocks under the palms, and pigs that come out to play throughout the day, not just once.
Wade out as the pigs swim to greet you, then join a guided snorkel over the reef, where you might spot sea turtles. Meet our peacocks, goats and curly-tail lizards, and sit down to a Bahamian buffet lunch overlooking the harbor. The standard open bar is included all day, so there’s no bar tab to settle. Spend the afternoon swimming, snorkeling or doing nothing at all in a shady hammock.
