Experience a full-day catamaran cruise from Paradise Island, suitable for travelers interested in marine life, local culture, and beach relaxation.

Description

Start your adventure at the waterside check-in booth at Margaritaville Restaurant on Paradise Island. After a safety briefing, board a 62-foot luxury catamaran staffed with a professional captain, crew, and tour guides. Enjoy coastal views while complimentary snacks, water, and sodas are served during the cruise.

The first stop is Rose Island, home to the famous Swimming Pigs. Spend 45 minutes feeding, swimming with, and photographing these unique animals.

Next, snorkel at a vibrant coral reef with guidance from expert snorkel guides who ensure safety and an enjoyable experience among colorful marine life.

Return to the boat for a light lunch during a scenic one-hour cruise towards Rose Island. During this time, the onboard rum bar opens, offering cocktails while you relax with the sea breeze.

On Rose Island, watch a live conch salad demonstration on the beach. You can also participate in beach games, explore the sandy shore, or unwind amid turquoise waters.
