The boat slips away from Montague Beach and the skyline of Nassau shrinks into a bright band on the horizon. Salted wind pushes the bow forward, gulls argue overhead, and within an hour the water has a different color — Caribbean blue that dares you to dive in.

The boat slips away from Montague Beach and the skyline of Nassau shrinks into a bright band on the horizon. Salted wind pushes the bow forward, gulls argue overhead, and within an hour the water has a different color — Caribbean blue that dares you to dive in.
This half-day run to Rose Island and nearby cays mixes easy coastal history with live coral, protected turtle habitat, and an unexpectedly playful shoreline attraction: a supervised swimming-pig interaction on a private beach club. Rose Island sits just off New Providence, a low, sandy rim of limestone and coral that formed behind reefs which have guided Bahamian sailors for centuries. Green Cay sits in a designated sanctuary where boat visitors observe turtles from the surface; snorkeling is restricted there to protect nesting and feeding grounds.
Expect two primary water stops — a 20–30 minute shallow reef snorkel (mask and snorkel supplied, no fins) and a turtle-observation pass by Green Cay — then a long beach-club visit with lunch, drinks, and the pig encounter. Terrain is flat sand and low reef; the day moves at a social, accessible pace rather than a technical dive tempo.
Practical notes: check in at Montague Beach Dock 45–15 minutes before departure, bring reef-safe sunscreen, and plan for a moderate level of fitness — some boarding ladders and short beach walks are required. Respect marine rules around the sanctuary, follow crew guidance during the pig interaction, and time your arrival to avoid the midday heat. The day delivers approachable marine life viewing and shore relaxation for travelers who want action without a full-day commitment.
Mask and snorkel are provided; fins are not included — if you prefer fins bring your own and check with the operator first.
No — Green Cay is a protected sanctuary and turtle watching is done from the boat in accordance with local law.
Yes — the interaction is supervised on a private beach; children must be supervised by guardians and follow crew instructions at all times.
Montague Beach Dock is 7–10 minutes from the Nassau Cruise Port by taxi; operators recommend taking a cab that can pick you up at return.
