What are people saying about Rose Island
Gideon_B, Sep 2023
Swim with some pigs, enjoy a complimentary and well prepared lunch, and drink to your heart's content!
My fiancé and I enjoyed the privacy of Rose Island, the bottomless alcoholic selections, and of course the swimming pigs! It's one thing to see a pig at a farm, but to swim with one for some reason just comes off as a spectacle. I'm not sure if they were actually smiling, but those pigs gave off a feeling that they were being treated right and well on Rose Island, one we definitely came away with ourselves!
Hannah_D, Sep 2023
Amazing experience
Amazing trip! A small group not too large. All well organised no waiting around! Quick straight on the boat to the island and into the experience same with the way home. The experience was perfect time on the beach, time with pigs and a delicious lunch! The staff couldn’t have done more to make it a great time! Would recommend 100%
Maggie_D, Sep 2023
So fun!
This was a really great experience, and the islands were so beautiful! We got to do so much and didn’t feel rushed at all!
Terri_C, Sep 2023
Family fun for all
The kids loved the pigs but the beach is also amazingly beautiful! We had such a great day from pick up until drop off. Snorkeling was good we saw a sea cucumber, starfish, and swam with the sea turtle for awhile. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating.
