Great day with Sandy Toes
juliepH5884RK, October 2026

You will not be dissapointed.
robertaV2791IO, September 2026
Simply Amazing. One small note, we did get lucky bc it was the off season so it was a very small group. That said, every staff member there was wonderful. They were having fun and really helpful. I was very nervous about my seven year old daughter being afraid to snorkel, but the team at ST was so great and comforting, they helped her right along. I wish I remembered everyone's names so I could be specific, but genuinely, they were all great. We had a private beach, hilarious time with the adorable pigs, a mini snorkeling adventure and a delicious lunch with postcard views the entire time.

The sandy toes rose island tour was very well organized. The tour guides were very friendly and funny without being over the top. We did snorkeling, swimming with the pigs and enjoyed the beach. You could tell they really cared about the animals they took care of on the island.

Fantastic experience!!!
419mollies, September 2026
Whilst visiting the Bahamas for the first time, I was desperate to experience the famous swimming with the pigs — something that had always been on my bucket list. However, I hadn’t realised quite how far away ‘Pig Island’ was! After reading through reviews, I found that Sandy Toes came highly recommended and offered a much shorter boat ride, so I decided to book. From start to finish, the day was absolutely fantastic and an experience I’ll remember forever. The team were incredibly friendly, helpful and supportive throughout. I was particularly impressed with the safety measures they had in place, both on the boat and during the snorkelling trip, which made everyone feel comfortable and well looked after. The island itself was absolutely beautiful, and having our own private area away from the crowds of some of the other tours made the experience feel really special and exclusive. The whole day was very well planned and flowed seamlessly, whilst still giving us plenty of time to relax and enjoy the island at our own pace. It was also lovely to see how well looked after the animals appeared to be. The staff were attentive to the pigs’ wellbeing, even applying suncream to them and making sure they weren’t left out in the sun for too long. Overall, I couldn’t recommend Sandy Toes enough. Swimming with the pigs was a bucket-list experience for me, and they made the entire day even better than I could have hoped for. A truly unforgettable experience!

Worth the Money!
Dream24729497430, August 2026
My girlfriend and I booked this last second (2 days before) on our Bahamas vacation, not knowing what to expect. Let me just say wow! The whole experience was awesome, fun, and worth every penny. The crew was welcoming, funny, and very caring about safety. We did the whole day trip, and it was worth it. The pigs were fun to play with, but the beach itself was calm and relaxing. Very warm waters with small fish everywhere. We were two of 30ish people that went, so it was very easy to relax and be on your own. Overall, we would definitely book this again if we come back to Nassau in the future!
