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!

Great excursion! We snorkled wirh sea turtles and pretty fishes. Lunch was barbecue chicken or hot dogs. I had chicken, it was great! Open bar! The pigs were good swimmers and did not crap in the water ( I heard they did but that was false). No vulgar music on the boat while in transport. Captain steve plays classic rock! Every employee was helpful and knowledgeable. Great experience, Highly recommend !

This may be the best excursion I've ever been on, and if you're worried about 6 hours being too long it flew by so fast! I could've easily stayed another two. The drinks were great the animals are fun and well cared for, this lunch was good, the chicken was way good. The best part is that you're only hanging out with people that were on your boat. So everyone has time to interact and take photos. I really can't say enough good things, I would do it again

Sooo much fun!!! I don't know if myself or my 10 & 11 year olds liked the pigs better! Great overall excursion and experience. The pigs come out every half hour at least, and plenty of chances interacting with them:) The barbecue lunch was great, as well as the OPEN BAR:) Woukd highly recommend and we will definitely be back thank you!!

Very fun , kids loved it. Boat ride felt safe the entire time. Only 20/25 min ride to island. I didn’t care for the pigs but kids enjoyed it. This is pretty much a private beach day
