Captain Ron was fantastic. Kind, happy and attentive. He was ready to take us where we wanted and allowed us to linger in all the areas we liked most. We asked to stop in the middle of the sea to dive in from the boat on the way back, which was one of the best parts.
I would not recommend the Swimming Pigs addition and wish they did not either. It is a complete waste of money and would have much rather given most of that as a tip to Captain Ron. The moment you arrive to pig island, you are accosted by sellers trying to get you to feed the pigs, hold them, take photos and move on. They all ask you for more tips on top of the $50 per person you already take. You are not swimming with the pigs. You are just going through their factory line of posed photos. They are pushy and it is is overall a very negative experience. Our kids didn't want to stay more than 15 minutes.
Rose Island was incredibly beautiful and so worth taking a private tour there to spend personal time with your group rather than one of the shared excursions.
