Overview

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!

Q: Will I get seasick on Sandy Toes The Original Rose Island and Swimming Pigs Tour?
