Crystal Waters & Unique Encounters at Sandy Toes, Bahamas

Amazingly helpful and friendly staff and beautiful location. Highly recommended.

Such a beautiful place. The staff, the animals and the beach were all lovely. Plenty of room to stretch out and the animals are well taken care of. Can’t say enough good things! When in Bahamas again, we’ll be back! We all had a great time. Thank you!

We had the half-day experience with Sandy Toes - we did snorkeling (the reef was quite bare, not thriving with life unfortunately, but we did see a stingray) and then had a few rounds of swimming with the pigs. Many opportunities to take pictures, but you have to be creative to take good ones, as the pigs are only interested in one thing - food. They can't care less about anyone in the water; they swim up to the trainer to grab food and then go back to the shore - so that's your opportunity to swim, be in the water with them. It is not like they hang out in the water with you. Also, one has to be careful around them, especially when they go in and out of the water - a few of them are very large and heavy; if one were to step on someone's bare foot, it would most likely crush it (especially a kid's foot), so water shoes for sure and instruct your kids to be careful. Lunch was great; drinks at the bar were also good. The beach and the water were just perfect! Kids got an opportunity to feed a few peacocks on site, ride back to the hotel was informative and fun! Overall, a great experience, unique memories, and cool pictures!

Here's the finished review: --- **Sandy Toes Rose Island Experience — 4/5** We had a great day overall and would recommend this excursion. The organization was impressive from the start — all the equipment was in good condition, and it was clear they take safety seriously. The boat ride out was a lot of fun, and the beach itself was gorgeous and so easy to swim in that we ended up spending almost the entire day in the water rather than in the shaded chairs (which we barely used). The pigs were a highlight — well cared for, well trained, and the feeding activity (apples on a stick in the water) was a fun, organized touch. Lunch was a pleasant surprise too: good quality food served in a lovely, well-maintained picnic area. We also loved the bar on the hill, sipping a drink in the breeze while looking out over the water — that will stick with us as one of the best memories of the trip. My main disappointment was the snorkeling. We were rushed off the boat, hustled into a line for gear, and then walked to the other side of the island — all before we'd even caught our breath. When our mask didn't fit and started leaking, we lost time trying to fix it and the group left without us. For a full-day excursion, offering only one snorkeling opportunity felt like a missed chance, especially since it could easily have been repeated. I'll also note that some of the advertised activities didn't materialize — there was no opportunity to swim with the manta rays as shown on their website, and most of the water toys (tubes, kayaks) were nowhere to be found; we only spotted a single lilypad anchored in the water. Despite those shortcomings, I'd still call this a good value overall, even if the website oversells some of the activities. The scenery, the pigs, the food, and the overall vibe made for a memorable day.

Lugar bonito, mais achei bem caro pelo que oferece!
