Our powerboat and snorkeling experience has went to another level for 2025 with the addition of our very own private and exclusive location on Rose Island, Bahamas! While our first stop still remains an amazing snorkeling experience at Rose Island Reef, second stop observing turtles at the sanctuary at Green Cay, our final stop is now a unique beaching experience at the official 007 Beach Club on Rose Island. Our private beach club is even more off the beaten path as it’s on the far east side of rose island and isolated from all other establishments. Upon your arrival feel free to immerse yourself in the breathtaking turquoise waters, bury yourself in one of our two person hammocks and explore the lush native foliage . This is the perfect dose of “The True All Inclusive Island Experience”.

Disappointing
There was only 20 min of snorkeling and then 2 hours on a lame beach where pigs poop. The boat was not luxurious - it was like sitting on a Southwest flight. The lunch was horrible. Burger on packaged bread - tasted like cardboard. With a side of Doritos. Nothing else.
via Tripadvisor
Highly recommended!
The staff was awesome! Snorkeling was pretty good but the private beach was very nice. Pigs were fun. Highly recommended
via Viator
Awesome time!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Reef Snorkeling Rose Island Turtle viewing and Private Beach: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nassau.
How much does Reef Snorkeling Rose Island Turtle viewing and Private Beach cost?
+
Prices start at $129 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nassau usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Reef Snorkeling Rose Island Turtle viewing and Private Beach take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nassau is not rushed.
Is Reef Snorkeling Rose Island Turtle viewing and Private Beach worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 583 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nassau, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Reef Snorkeling Rose Island Turtle viewing and Private Beach?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Reef Snorkeling Rose Island Turtle viewing and Private Beach suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Reef Snorkeling Rose Island Turtle viewing and Private Beach?
+
Around 204 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nassau can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nassau and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Reef Snorkeling Rose Island Turtle viewing and Private Beach start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nassau within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nassau?
+
On Outty we rank every Nassau experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bites of Nassau Food and Walking Tour, Pirate Jeep Sightseeing Adventure!, Rum Tasting and Food Walking Tour in Nassau Bahamas. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nassau?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nassau?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Reef Snorkeling Rose Island Turtle viewing and Private Beach?
+

Where is the meeting point for Reef Snorkeling Rose Island Turtle viewing and Private Beach?
+

+
