JNC Tours Rose Island Snorkel Adventure

5.00We had the BEST time on our JNC Tours Rose Island snorkel adventure! Our Captain and his first mate were so friendly and took us to all the great spots for swimming with the pigs, snorkeling the reefs, and seeing the sea turtles. We had our own private family tour on their boat and it was so worth it! Great price compared to other tours with way more people. They did not rush us and let us take our time. They were so helpful with our 9 year old son as it was his first time snorkeling! We will definitely be back! Thank you!
Fantastic excursion!

5.00This was one of our favorite excursions ever. We had about a 10 minute walk from the ship to the dock where we were picked up. This is a private group excursion for a maximum of 8 people. We were picked up in a nice center console boat equipped with plenty of shade. Capt. Bodie and his assistant, Ahndin, are awesome. They had complimentary soft drinks, snacks, water and tum punch on board. Both were incredibly friendly, engaging and knowledgable. Our first stop was Mansa Beach, where we got to feed the pigs. They also had several water activities and refreshments. This optional experience was an additional $20 per person. If you opt out, you just go straight to the snorkeling experiences. Our first snorkeling spot was a reef. There water was gorgeous, And the reef was full of fish. There were lots of other boats around, but we were anchored on the edge of the reef and had plenty of room to ourselves. The last stop was at a turtle nesting area. There were again several boats around us. Nobody else appeared to have any luck spotting turtles, but Capt. Bodie has eagle eyes. He spotted a large turtle, and our group was able to jump in the water and swim around with it for a bit. At $800, this is a fantastic value if you have 8 in your group. Even with the extra for the pigs and gratuities, it was easily the best value for an excursion we’re had. Our whole party had a blast.

5.00We had a little confusion in the beginning on where to meet the boat but after in the boat we had the best day! My 3 boys had a blast! Captain Chris was amazing! We say turtles and went to a private island. Would definitely do it again and highly recommend.
This tour is an absolute must!

5.00My family of 8 took this tour today for half the day, it was absolutely incredible! Captain Eddie and his 2 sons were amazing. They know the area well, knew just where to take us to see sea turtles and tropical fish. They had all the equipment we needed, and really gave us the time to explore. I truly cannot recommend this tour enough!
Great Private Group Boat Excursion in the Bahamas

5.00Carlos was our captain and he ensured our safety and comfort. Since we were the only group on the boat, we were able to stay at each stop as long as we wanted to and he was waiting to take us to the next island and then back to port, right on time. We enjoyed the drinks and snacks on board, also!
Once in a lifetime experience you will not want to miss

5.00There simply aren’t enough words to fully explain how amazing this experience was. Captain Eddie and his son were the most incredible, caring, and knowledgeable guides we could have ever hoped for. Full disclosure: I’m an anxiety-ridden, overprotective mom of three young kids (9, 7, and 5), and I was nervous about booking an excursion that wasn’t affiliated with our cruise line. But from the moment we met Captain Eddie and his son, it was immediately clear that we were in the most capable hands. Our safety and the quality of our experience were clearly their top priorities. One of the things we loved most was that the entire day was just for our family of five. We didn’t have to deal with large tour groups, crowds, or waiting in lines—it was a completely private and relaxed experience, which made it so much more enjoyable with young kids. We told them we were hoping for beautiful scenery, snorkeling, and a little history about the island—and they delivered all of that and so much more. We swam with sea turtles, learned about the island’s history, toured Pablo Escobar’s abandoned home, visited what has to be one of the most pristine white sandy beaches on earth, and finished the day with lunch at an incredible on-the-water bar and grill that I’m certain isn’t on any other tour itinerary. I wish I had better words to express just how special this experience was, but I truly don’t. Do this excursion—you will NOT be sorry. Without a doubt, it’s a day of memories my family will cherish forever.
It was very fun. We hung...

5.00It was very fun. We hung out with the pigs, were able to hold and feed them. The kids absolutely loved it. Then went snorkeling and saw tons of fish at rainbow reef. Then went and saw sea turtles. One of the best excursions we’ve been on.
Just a good time tooling...

5.00Just a good time tooling around the Bahamian waters with Captain Paul and his mate. Swiming with pigs, snorkeling and even finding a sea turtle in the wild was a good time.
Fun day on the water

5.00Reserved the tour for my mom’s first trip out of the US and we had a great experience. Snorkeled with fish and turtles, walked on the beach, saw the pigs, and took in all the scenery. Gorgeous day for a boat ride and Captain Chris made us feel right at home. Thank you!
