Real experiences from real travelers
The pigs were so much fun! We booked the 4-hour escape and it was the perfect amount of time. The water was the clearest I've ever seen.
It's a long boat ride but seeing the iguanas, the sharks, and the pigs in one day was incredible. Book the powerboat for the best experience!
Our kids loved the pigs and the snorkeling. The guides were very patient and helpful with the little ones. Highly recommend.
We chose the catamaran cruise and it was so relaxing. Plenty of space to sunbathe between the pig stop and the snorkeling reef.
Swimming with the pigs was a dream come true. They are much bigger than I thought but very friendly and love the snacks!
Everything from the pickup to the boat ride was smooth. The beach club on Rose Island was a great place to relax after the pig encounter.
Seeing the turtles at Green Cay was a huge bonus. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the marine life. Worth every penny!
Wanted to do this for years and it didn't disappoint. The pigs are adorable and the scenery is just like the postcards.

Yes! Many tours offer morning and afternoon departures that fit cruise ship docking schedules, with some providing transport from the cruise terminal.
Yes, the pigs are accustomed to humans. However, they are still animals, so always follow your guide's instructions and avoid touching their snouts.

While you don't need to be an expert swimmer, some water comfort is helpful. Life jackets are provided and the water near the beach is usually shallow.
This depends on the specific tour. Some include full buffet lunches and open bars, while others only provide water and light snacks. Check the 'What's Included' section of your chosen tour.
The Bahamas is a year-round destination. However, the best weather is typically from November to April when it's less humid and outside of hurricane season.
Yes, you can pet them and often feed them (food is usually provided by the guides). Avoid putting your hands near their mouths as they can be eager for treats!
Yes, most tours are family-friendly. However, some high-speed powerboat tours to Exuma may have age restrictions or are not recommended for very young children.
