EXPLORE THE ISLAND

Spend a day with us.

One island, a few encounters worth knowing about. Move through them at your own pace and pick the day you want.

Begin the tour
01 MARINE ENCOUNTER

Step in. They'll come to you.

The pigs run the meet-and-greet. They wade in at their own pace, sniff out the camera, and decide who they like. Your job is to stand still in calm water and stay in the moment.

02 MARINE ENCOUNTER

Shallow water, slow hands.

A sandbar in clear shallow water. Southern stingrays glide past your ankles while a guide walks you through how to read them. The whole thing moves quietly. Kids love it.

Swimming Pigs

The pigs are the island's most photographed residents, and they know it. They wade in from the shoreline at their own pace, sniff out the camera, and decide who they like. A guide stays nearby to keep the encounter calm and to make sure the pigs lead. Stand still in calm shallow water, keep your hands out of their faces, and they'll do the rest. Plenty of time for photos, no rush back to the boat.

What's Included

  • Guided encounter with an island host
  • Calm shallow-water staging area
  • Plenty of photo time

Southern Stingrays

A guide takes a small group out to a calm sandbar in clear, shallow water. The southern stingrays come through on their own schedule, gliding past your ankles like they own the place. The guide walks you through how to read them, how to stand still, how to respect their space. The whole thing moves quietly. Kids love watching them and adults relax into it.

What's Included

  • Guided wade-in encounter

Safety + Guides

Guides who grew up in these waters keep the rays comfortable and the guests respectful. No feeding by guests, no chasing. The rays glide on their own time.

Accessibility

Soft sand entry, knee-deep water at the sandbar. Shore-side viewing is available for guests who'd rather not enter the water.

The Island

Twenty-two private acres on the edge of the Berry Islands. The shoreline runs long and soft, the water stays calm into the late afternoon, and the grounds are easy to walk in flip-flops from one end to the other.

There's a deck for shaded seating, cabanas if you want one to yourself, and a quiet stretch of beach past the boardwalk where the pigs sometimes wander up on their own time. No itinerary needed.

We built the place so the day moves at island pace. Guides check in but don't hover. The only rush is the boat back to the ship.

Photo Moments

Six spots photographers come back for. The dock at golden hour catches the light low and turns the water glassy gold. The swing on the south point sits where the shoreline curves, framing the open water behind it.

The shoreline where the pigs wander is the most photographed spot on the island. It's worth knowing when to be there: early morning and late afternoon, when the pigs are most likely to come close and the light is most flattering.

There's a small ridge above the main beach with a clean horizon line, and the boardwalk between the deck and the boat dock catches a wide shot of the whole property. Bring a phone, or work with our shooters.

More from the day

A private island, yours for the day.

Twenty-two acres in the Berry Islands, open to guests for the day. Swimming pigs along the shoreline, southern stingrays on a calm sandbar, and a shaded deck above the bay. Reserve through your cruise line and the whole island slows to your pace.

PACK LIGHT

Bring a little, leave with more.

Six essentials. The rest is already on the island.

  • Swimwear

    Wear it under your cruise clothes. The day moves easier without the detour.

  • Reef-safe sunscreen

    The pigs swim in this water too. Coral-safe keeps the bay healthy.

  • Sunglasses

    Golden-hour light reflects off everything. Polarized lenses do best.

  • Hat or visor

    Plenty of shade on land, less in the water. A brim helps.

  • Light cover-up

    The boat ride gets breezy in either direction. Easy to throw on.

  • Cards

    For the gift shop and the bar. Tap-to-pay welcome, no need for cash.

Island Goods

Souvenirs worth keeping.

A small collection of branded apparel, plush, and souvenirs. Pick one up on the island, or order online after your visit.

Cruise Partners

Discover your Island experience.

Twenty-two acres, a few famous pigs, and a day you'll be glad you carved out. Reserve through NCL or Royal Caribbean.
