Rose Island is a long, narrow island east of Paradise Island, surrounded by shallow reefs and turquoise sandbanks. It is one of the most popular snorkel trips from Nassau because a short boat ride takes you to a picture-postcard setting.
The trip
- Boat departure from Nassau harbor.
- Snorkel stop on a coral reef with tropical fish.
- Seagrass area where wild sea turtles are often seen.
- Time on a white-sand beach with a grilled lunch.
Who it is for
Families and beginners: the water is shallow and the crew provides vests and help in the water. Please do not touch or chase the turtles.
What to bring
Swimwear, towel, reef-safe sunscreen, sunglasses and some cash for drinks.
Best time: all year. June to November is hurricane season: if there is a warning, the date is moved.
