Nassau: Swimming Pigs and Snorkel Tour w/ Lunch & Beach Club

About This Experience

The pitch here is time. Two and a half hours is the shortest trip on this site that still includes a beach stop, lunch, snorkelling and an open bar, and it collects you from the cruise port rather than expecting you to find a dock.

The run out passes Atlantis, Paradise Island, Fort Montagu and the Versailles gardens, then stops at Athol Island for the pigs, the reef and the beach. The operator lists a substantial kit inventory for that stop — kayaks, paddleboards, volleyball, cornhole, hammocks and floats — which is generous for the length of the trip.

Two honest caveats. The listing names a dozen locations in its itinerary, but most are viewed from the water on the way past rather than visited. And the marketing copy reads considerably grander than two and a half hours can deliver. Judged as a short, well-equipped cruise-port excursion at $119, it holds up.

Good to Know & Caveats

• GetYourGuide lists this at 2 hours 30 minutes. The operator's own description calls it a full escape, so plan around the stated duration rather than the marketing.
• The itinerary names a long list of stops, but most are passed by from the water. The beach time is on Athol Island.
• Cruise-port pickup is included, which is the main reason to choose this over the longer catamarans.
• Rum punch is unlimited and included.
