The Snorkeling was fabulous, and the two Boat Staff guys were exceptional!
I wasn't sure about the Pig feeding thing, but it was actually kind of fun!
The guys shared with us some of the Homeowners along the Shore line and to see Beyonce's house and Jay-Z, and a multitude of others was fun.

Half Day Excursion

We have 2 young children and Captain Shay and LJ were the host of hosts! The entire experience was seamless and our kids had an absolute blast. We should have done the entire day!
Great experience!

Swimming with pigs is so fun, a great experience with captain Leslie, Adam and Emelio. Would definitely recommend everyone to try!
MUST DO!!

WOW! We were pretty apprehensive to book a tour from a country away, but with this company we were in good hands. From their land staff's communication leading up to the event, to the on-board crew's tremendous professionalism and energy, we couldn't have asked for more.
Weather was coming in prior to our excursion, but they emailed us a few times to keep us updated and even called to give us all our options. We ended up with a half day tour instead of a full day, but they credited us fairly without the need to follow up. The captain and first mate (LJ) were a ton of fun. They clearly knew the right locations and have the best local Bahamian music playlist. Do not hesitate to put your faith in this team!

Great experience!!! Captain Shay and Mate LS were awesome! Extremely informative and fun! Visiting the swimming pigs and having lunch on Rose Island were my favorite. Great music on board too!!!
A must do excursion!

Amazing experience! LJ and Shay we’re our captains and they were so much fantastic! They kept everyone engaged pointing out land marks, laughing, singing, playing music and just making sure we had a great time! The speed boat flew across the water! So much fun!
The snorkel spot was awesome we saw huge schools of fish and we saw a couple of turtles as well.
The pigs were for sure the best part, they were so adorable. We had a good amount of time to feed and pet them and even got to pick up the cutest brown 3 month old pig up for pictures.

10/10 Would Recommend & Visit Again!

We had an amazing time with Captain Leslie, Adam and Ashtin on the half-day journey to Rose Island. The views were spectacular, and the crew was very friendly and entertaining - it was clear that among all the other tour boats we saw, ours was the fun one!
We were originally booked on the 8-hour adventure to Spanish Wells, but when weather caused that trip to be cancelled AquaShores offered us the half-day trip to Rose Island as an alternative. We were very happy to see this was a small group tour, unlike some of the larger groups we saw out on the water. Ultimately, we didn't feel like we missed out on any of the activities, despite the shorter duration. The snorkeling at Rainbow Reef was beautiful, interacting with the pigs at Rose Island was a really fun and unique experience, and we loved that there was time on Rose Island to swim and hang out on the beach before lunch. All in all, absolutely no complaints! 10/10 would recommend Aquashores!

A lot of fun on a fast boat
Cassidy5736, 03-01-2023
The best part of the trip was probably the boat and crew... the boat was fast (30 knots) and stable, they played good music, served drinks and the crew was friendly and enthusiastic. There was snorkeling permitted at the sea turtle location following a recent shark attack. The first snorkeling location was just ok, they provided masks/snorkels but no dive fins. The food at the lunch stop on Rose Island was excellent. The swimming pigs were hilarious and friendly.
Swimming with piggies.

We really loved everything about it. The crew were great and entertaining, the locations were beautiful, and the pig experience was so much better given that they were trained (no biting that we've heard about at other places).
AMAZING!!
Paige W, 25-01-2023
This was such an amazing day! It was my 26th birthday and they definitely made me feel special by singing for me. Captain Leslie and Emilio were so much fun and so nice. The music was amazing and Emilio had so much knowledge to share with us about what we were seeing on the tour. The pigs were AMAZING!! And SO CUTE! It was the best time and money ever spent. Highly recommend!
Great family trip
AJH3202, 21-01-2023
So much fun for family of 5! Children ages 8, 10, 13. Shay, Adam, and LJ were absolutely great - we felt safe and they answered questions about everything we wanted to know, as well as telling us the history and fun facts of the places and things we were seeing.
The snorkeling was a favorite part for 4 of us. My 8 yr old did not want to go but still enjoyed watching from the boat and loved the whole trip since there were plenty of other things to do. Her favorite part was seeing the sea turtles - we saw around 10 I would guess. You can see them at the bottom, but a few swam up with shells and heads out of the water which was really fun to see!
As other reviews have said, the pigs were there for the food and then gone, but they were cute and the the kids really liked petting them. They teach you the sign language they teach the pigs and it works wonderfully. There were a few larger ones that my daughter was uncomfortable with so she did the “no more food” sign language (while holding a cup full of food) and they immediately swam away from her.
The whole experience, including the boat ride, was very relaxing and fun, and the sights were unbelievably beautiful!
The absolutely best part - the people! From the check in lady to the the boat crew, pig trainers, lifeguard, island crew, and every single person we came in contact with! My children commented many times on how nice everybody was and I agree!
100% recommend this trip!

Leslie and LJ you were awesome!
Melani C, 19-01-2023
What a great morning out on the water! The crew, LJ and Leslie, were fun, knowledgeable and courteous. Lunch was good and paddling with the pigs a great experience. If you have water shoes take them as there were lots of rocks in the water where we met the pigs. The music onboard is loud, so if you have sensitive ears take ear plugs! A bit on the pricey side but worth the cost. The crew certainly earned their end of tour tip :)
Great!
nickyd975, 16-01-2023
This was a great tour. You dont actually swim with turtles but if you are lucky you will see some. The pigs are super cute and fun to feed. Was a good trip - the bar/restaurant was a little short serviced and rude but our tour guides were great! I would do it again.
