Rose Island Private Beach: Swimming with the Pigs

Posted By : GaryG50Y2020
Voucher printed 5 days before trip had wrong departure time so we were there an hour too early. People booking thru other sites all had correct 10am departure. Also, we only fed pigs (only 4 of them) on beach rather than "swimming" with them

So fun! Well organized and lunch was good. I highly recommend this trip. The pigs were gentle so our 4 year old was not afraid. There was a little piglet too. So cute! The crew were fun and friendly while still looking out for everyone’s safety.

Amazing excursion! I would definitely do it again. The crew and the island were awesome! The pigs were so much fun! Lunch was great…private beach was amazing and the pigs experience was super fun! We’ve done other excursions here before and this one takes the cake! Highly recommended!

We had such an amazing day with the OO7 crew and on Rose Island. This was such a highlight of our trip! Captain Ken and the crew were so helpful and fun - especially in making sure our kids (6&8) had what they needed. The boat ride was great, we had fun snorkeling and the island was tops! So fun with the water toys, the fun vibes, and even the food was really great. Views and water were incredible. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a really great trip that is not over packed or over touristy. 10/10! Thanks for a great day!

The trip itself was pretty good, but was oversold and thus was extremely crowded. The booking claimed small groups of up to 20, but the reality was we had over 25 on a small boat. This resulted in frustration among guests. We were a group of 8 and I got a text the night before saying that our meeting time and place had changed. This would have meant we had to be there 1.5 hours earlier. Upon inquiry this would not have been the small group we purchased and so they kept us on the already arranged plan. This clearly resulted in the overcrowding situation, though, and another boat should have been added. The trip itself was fun. First a stop to snorkel with turtles, of which there were several. Then their island where we had lunch and eventually fed the Pigs. It was a memorable experience in a beautiful location. Unfortunately the boat that returned to pick us up was over 30 minutes late. You should also know that the meeting point is a 5 minute drive from the cruise port and so allow time to find a taxi. It was a typical chaotic port with lots of people hawking services. Ultimately the taxi was $30 each way, so consider this expense when booking.

Our trip was amazing! It started out a little rocky because we went to Margaritaville resort and not Margaritaville pleasure island. The Viator app did not work properly but this was not a problem with the tour. The boat ride to the island was great. The water was rough the day of the tour and Captain Ken took great care of us. He navigated the swells like the expert captain he was. We snorkeled and saw fish but no turtles. It was a great time anyway. We arrived at the island and the piggies soon made their way down to us by the water. The adult pigs were super friendly and the little piglet was the star of the show. This was one of the best excursions we have ever been on while on vacation.

The excursion itself was incredible. Loved captain Ken, love the pigs. However, we were left on the island with no communication of what time the boats were coming back for 3 hours. We were told we would be back by 6:30 and didn’t return back until 9. We got eaten alive by bugs and had no idea when the boat was coming back and it was dark by the time they returned because of boat problems. We had an otherwise fantastic time, but they haven’t had any communication regarding the problems we have

Amazing afternoon, the crew are lovely, plenty of rum punch and lunch. Rose island is stunning with Crystal clear ocean and beautiful soft sand, they have the oasis Ocean 7 Beach Club, with chairs and kayaks. On the way out we stopped for some snorkelling, they had all the equipment ready for us. The pigs look well cared for and are very friendly, the piglet just didn’t want to go back he loved being in the water and on the beach! Coming back they took us to an enclosed shark area, where we even saw some dolphins. It was truly an amazing experience, and we would highly recommend it.
