The phenomena and history of swimming pigs in the Bahamas is quite fascinating.
Many a century ago, pirates seeded these islands with chickens, goats and pigs in the event that they were shipwrecked or beached (banished) for disobeying Captain’s orders.
And so every time pirates returned to these islands they were often met by swimming pigs. and this is how the phenomenon of swimming pigs in the Bahamas began.
In the last decade or so most visitors could not afford to go to Exuma or Eleuthera for a full day swimming pig trip which can cost up to $500. A price well worth it too. For that, you get a full day excursion of pigs, stingrays, iguanas, sharks and lunch.
This led to tour operators coming up with a cheaper alternative, particularly for pregnant ladies who can’t make the bumpy 3 hour family island boat trip and cruise ship passengers who have limited time. For about $120-$250 you visit nearby cays such as Rose Island, Pearl island and Atoll for a swimming Pig Excursion.
Depending on the tour operator this half-day trip may also include lunch, drinks, snacks, snorkeling and also wonderful beach time with family and friends.
Specifically, when you have a pig encounter, a pig handler will walk everyone through the procedure. They also supply you with apple bits in a cup on a skewer, you will then go out into the ocean waist deep and the pigs will swim to you in order to be fed.
There are no booty biting pigs near Nassau, however the pigs on the family Islands, having been there for generations with no one to care, train or feed them; are often sunburned, thirsty for fresh water and starving.
I’ve often been told that you have to hold your hands up in the air when you’re around these pigs because if you have your hands down they will assume that you have food and being hungry they will bite you. Of course that’s not always true. But it’s important to remember that nature is not your playground and when you are out in the wild, well…wild things can happen.
No booty biting pigs in Nassau!
I’m quite sure we’ve all seen posts from various Instagram girls who went to Exuma and got a little too friendly with a wild pig. The result: a booty bite from Bahamas wild pigs on the beach.
In Nassau I’ve heard people who grew up on a pig farm say they hated feeding pigs as a child and now they can’t believe as an adult, here they are paying to feed pigs and yet they always find it unbelievably satisfying.
To see happy free range pigs running around, with their floppy ears and cork tail screw tails happily wagging. It’s a sight to behold. They’re very friendly as well as intelligent, more so than dogs.
Nassau pigs love to frolic with the tourists and look forward to encounters every day, often twice or three times per day.
One standout thing I’ve noticed is that tourists often don’t even want to swim with pigs. On most occasions they just want to feed them on the shore. So if you have a water phobia and you don’t want to go in the water, no worries, you can still have fun with swimming pigs. No swimming required.
We all know that the Bahamas, with its stunning turquoise waters, powdery white sand beaches, and abundant marine life, is a paradise for families seeking adventure and relaxation.
So any family planning a trip to this tropical haven, there’s no shortage of activities to enjoy, both on land and at sea.
From swimming with pigs and snorkeling with turtles to thrilling watersports and cultural tours, the Bahamas offers something for everyone. At Bahamas Up Close, families can easily book a wide range of activities to make their vacation truly unforgettable.
Swimming with Pigs and Snorkeling with Turtles:
One of the most unique and popular experiences in the Bahamas is swimming with pigs on uninhabited islands such as Big Major Cay in the Exumas.
For expectant mothers and cruise ship visitors with time constraints, Rose Island or Pearl Island and Atoll Island are perfect half-day alternatives just 15 minutes away from Nassau.
Either way, just imagine frolicking in the crystal-clear waters alongside these friendly and adorable creatures — it’s a memory your family will cherish forever. Additionally, snorkeling adventures allow you to explore vibrant coral reefs teeming with colorful fish and graceful sea turtles gliding through the water.
Thrilling water sports:
For families seeking an adrenaline rush, the Bahamas offers an array of thrilling watersports activities. From jet skiing and banana boat rides to parasailing high above the ocean, there’s no shortage of excitement. Imagine the thrill of speeding across the water on a jet ski or soaring through the sky while parasailing, taking in breathtaking views of the coastline below.
Encounters with Marine Life:
The Bahamas is home to an abundance of marine life, and families can get up close and personal with dolphins, stingrays, and even iguanas. Dolphin encounters offer the opportunity to swim and interact with these intelligent mammals, while stingray encounters allow you to feed and touch these gentle creatures.
For a unique experience, visit Allen’s Cay in the Exumas, where you can feed iguanas right out of your hand — an experience that’s sure to delight kids and adults alike.
Land Adventures:
Beyond the water, the Bahamas offers a variety of land-based activities for families to enjoy. Explore the island’s natural beauty on ATV tours, where you can zip through quaint villages along rugged coastlines. Alternatively, hop on scooters and explore the charming streets of Nassau, taking in the vibrant colors and rich culture of the city.
For a deeper dive into Bahamian history and heritage, consider booking a guided taxi city tour of Nassau, where you can visit landmarks such as Fort Charlotte, Queen’s Staircase, and the vibrant Straw Market.
Sunset Cruises and Pirate Adventures:
As the day winds down, families can unwind and enjoy the breathtaking beauty of a Bahamian sunset on a sunset cruise. Set sail aboard a luxurious catamaran or speedboat and watch as the sky is painted in hues of orange, pink, and purple — a truly magical experience for all ages.
For a more immersive adventure, embark on a pirate-themed harbour tour complete with swashbuckling entertainment, treasure hunts, and pirate-themed activities.
For those who prefer to stay dry while still experiencing the wonders of the underwater world, glass bottom boat rides offer the perfect solution. Cruise over vibrant coral reefs and observe colorful fish, sea turtles, and other marine life through the glass bottom of the boat — a fascinating experience for budding marine biologists and nature enthusiasts alike.
Additionally, families can enjoy a variety of other activities such as fishing charters, island hopping excursions, and cultural experiences showcasing the rich heritage of the Bahamas.
In conclusion, the Bahamas offers endless opportunities for family fun and adventure, from swimming with pigs and snorkeling with turtles to thrilling water sports and cultural tours.

I’m glad we did it though ‘cause now…here we are in Maldives for 7 days getting all the beach we wanted! It’s really adds to what little beach time we had in Nassau.” -Maria, Texas
I love the flexibility. Not only am I able to determine when and where I want to go but also however luxurious, rustic and authentic I want my travels to be. I’m not boxed in by my wallet.” -Frank, New Jersey
