You've seen them all over your feed — the swimming pigs of the Bahamas, paddling straight up to travelers in impossibly blue water. On the Swimming Pigs Express, you finally meet them yourself.
In just two hours, we take you from Nassau out to the famous Pig Beach, where the Bahamas' world-famous swimming pigs are ready to play. Wade into the warm, crystal-clear shallows, hold out a snack, and watch these charismatic swimmers come paddling over — snouts up, completely unbothered by the cameras. Feed them, splash beside them, and capture the kind of photos your friends won't believe are real.
These aren't pigs in a pen. They're free-roaming island celebrities, and meeting them in their own turquoise water is the moment that defines a Bahamas trip.
Short on time but set on seeing the pigs? This is your trip — built for cruise guests and tight schedules. Roundtrip boat transfer from Nassau is included, so all you bring is your swimsuit and your camera.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Your adventure begins at the Paradise Island Ferry Terminal, located at the East Dock right behind Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville on Paradise Island – just between the two bridges connecting Paradise Island and Nassau. Please check in 15 minutes before your scheduled departure.
