“There are several snorkel/pig/lunch/turtle tour options available and I'm so grateful we choose this one! Communication through WhatsApp (in response to some questions I had before the trip) was very prompt and professional. The boat was clean and beautiful, crew was fun and helpful and the water and beach club at Rose Island just breathtaking. We got some lifetime-memory type photos! They are doing some renovations of the beach club (including building infinity swimming pool) and I would love to return once that's complete. Lunch was Caribbean rice and jerk barbecue chicken, light but delicious. Pigs were a blast. They even were attentive to the fact that we had to…”

“We loved this excursion, it was so well organised and fun. Highlights of the trip were visiting Bitter Guana Cay where iguanas live, spending some time with nurse sharks, feeding the pigs on the pig beach. I recommend to take warm clothes, a hoodie, because it is very windy on the boat, and it takes a lot of time to get to this attractions. Food and drinks are offered, there was also a stop for a buffet lunch. The staff is great and helpful, totally recommend this experience!”
