Highlights
  • Rose Island - If you’re tired of being around large crowds and want to get away on an intimate experience this one is for you.

First, we will meet you at the Bayshore Marina (just a 5 minute taxi ride from Paradise Island, Downtown, and the Cruise Port). Let them know at the gate to contact Wellington when you arrive.

Once we are all on the boat we will pass majestic Paradise Island. We will pass islands and beautiful villas on our way to Rose Island. The crew will provide you with all of the equipment you will need to snorkel and life jackets are provided onboard. You’ll see crystal clear water, a very vibrant and lively reef full of colorful coral and beautiful fish in every direction. We will hang out on the beach snorkeling and relaxing at Rose Island as well as visiting a coral reef just off of Rose Island. Refreshing fruit punch will be provided as you relax, sipping your drink, and talking. Feel free to bring food onboard.

The experience lasts approximately 4 hours.

Rose Island snorkeling trip - We had a great time out on the water with Wellington and his mate yesterday. They gave us a small tour before we headed out to snorkel, and lots of information about the area on the way out. We snorkeled above a reef, and swam with tons of beautiful colorful fish. We hung out on rose island for a bit...there is nothing much to do there but enjoy the gorgeous soft sand and clear water...which we did! Overall, we had a great time!

Enjoyed the boat ride, snorkeling and beach. - Very fun excursion! Crew was very nice and super helpful! We brought our own snorkel gear but they provided gear if needed. Visited a beautiful beach. I would bring 2 towels if you can. One for the beach.

Fantastic small boat snorkeling and private beach tour! - This snorkeling tour was fantastic! Captain Paul and his 1st mate were knowledgeable, thorough and so kind. I appreciated this small tour boat, with only 10 people. We started with a short boat tour of Nassau, Paradise Island and other surrounding islands. We then went out to the snorkeling site, among other small boats, and snorkel for a while. The fish and reefs were beautiful…lots to see! Paul was helpful with getting our gear on and offering advice. We went further out to Rose Island, made a short trek on foot to the other side of the island and spent about 45 mins on our private beach. Gorgeous! We had a great time, would definitely go again!!

Decent snorkel trip - We booked this months ago and believed we were getting to also see the pigs so it was disappointing that we didn’t. Either the link description changed or it is possible 3 adults separately misread the description. I saw another reviewer say they spent an hour driving around the harbor. We did drive around the harbor a good bit of time, although I didn’t time it. Snorkeling was good, lots of colorful fish, although the water was cold as to be expected this time of year. Rose Island was beautiful. A nice, quiet secluded beach. Our captain Wellington was very personable. We do think there was something wrong with the boat engine because we drove very slowly both outbound and inbound. Overall, for the money, this trip was decent.

Trip cancelled with no explanation Still awaiting refund. - THe trip was cancelled with no other options available to us in the time of our stay. We were disappointed that our prime reason for the visit to snorkle was not available to us. Communications however were prompt with updates and suggestions from operator.
