Swimming Pig Tours from Nassau, Bahamas
Swimming with the pigs is one of The Bahamas' most iconic experiences.
Choose from three unforgettable swimming pig tours departing from Nassau. Spend a full day island hopping through the Exuma Cays, explore Eleuthera and Harbour Island, or stay closer to Nassau with a half-day Rose Island adventure.
Each shared tour combines the swimming pigs with its own mix of wildlife, snorkeling, beaches and beautiful Bahamian scenery.
Which Swimming Pig Tour Is Right for You?
All three of our swimming pig tours depart from Nassau, but each offers a different experience.
Choose Exuma for the biggest island-hopping adventure and the famous pigs at Big Major Cay. Choose Harbour Island & Eleuthera for swimming pigs combined with wild green turtles and Pink Sands Beach. Or choose Rose Island for a shorter half-day experience with swimming pigs, reef snorkeling and lunch at a beach bar.
Whichever you choose, you'll travel by speedboat with an experienced local captain and crew and enjoy a carefully planned day exploring The Bahamas.
