Pearl Island and nearby pig island / Nassau · Added 2026-09-20

Guest flags pig-bite warning, jellyfish and limited shade on Pearl Island day trip A visitor describing a September 2, 2024 excursion says staff warned guests they would need to handle any pig bite themselves. The account also mentions jellyfish stings, limited shade and a tiring walk back to the ship. It does not say the writer was bitten. The same reviewer praised the clear water, animal interaction and straightforward transfer, and said the day delivered what they expected overall.

Crowded Pearl Island stop and concerns about food and bar cleanliness

Pearl Island · Added 2026-09-20

Crowded Pearl Island stop and concerns about food and bar cleanliness In a discussion of shore excursions, one visitor describes Pearl Island as overcrowded and says the food and cleanliness of the bar made them uncomfortable. They felt multiple excursion groups were competing for limited space. This is the visitor’s assessment of their beach stop, not a food inspection, laboratory result or report of confirmed food poisoning.
