Snorkeling, the “Holy Grail” of a BahamasUpClose.com Vacay.
Let’s say we have a family of six from France on vacation in the Bahamas. The kids want water sports. Dad wants to fish. Mom wants to sit on the beach all day and do nothing. The grandparents want a culinary and historic tour. They all want to snorkel.
Who’s going to make this happen to everyone’s satisfaction? A Bahamas Up Close ‘n’ Personal Vacay Concierge that’s who!
And how do they achieve this without the kids being bored or the grandparents having to walk in the hot sun or mom feeling overburdened and dad missing out on fishing?
By guaranteeing three things:
Safety
Value
Spontaneity
Because the only way everyone is happy on vacation is if everyone is happy.
That’s what a vacation is all about: being happy, relaxed and having fun in the sun right?
+++
So how does a Vacay Concierge guarantee the first thing, Safety?
Let’s say you wake up for some parasailing and afterward decide you want to jet ski as well. It’s not on the day’s itinerary but if that’s what you want, why not?
Sure you can take an offer from the small-time jet ski operator walking the beach or bar, propositioning tourists. But unless they are wearing a company shirt or tag, you are putting your life on the line.
And, God forbid, if anything should happen you DO NOT need the additional stress of spending the rest of the day (and quite possibly the night) filing a report at a police station. No, you didn’t come here for that.
Safety is the most important thing during your vacation. Safety is the last thing you should have to be thinking about but it’s the first thing on your Vacay Concierge’s mind.
+++
Now let’s move on to the next guarantee: Value.
A Bahamas Up Close ‘n’ Personal Vacay Concierge has their ear to the ground so you can do anything and everything you want for the best price and the best value.
While tour operators might promise you much and deliver little at a high price (assuming you won’t be in town next week) they would never do such a thing with your local Vacay Concierge. He or she knows well the reputation of any given company and which operators never risk a bad review. Speaking of which..
Ask about our additional virtual and online services.
A Bahamas Up Close ‘n’ Personal Vacay Concierge removes hassles. No more research…no more haggling… “Just tell us what you want, what you are willing to pay and we will do the rest, keeping you informed along the way.”
+++
Let’s cover the third guarantee: spontaneity.
It’s your vacation. You’re gonna see a lot of sights, hear a lot of things. Both your mood and mind could change on a dime. Even if you have your vacation meticulously planned down to a Tee, it can all change either because of the weather, or because you stayed up last night drinking or because you woke up this morning and just felt like hitting the beach, doing nothing all day.
You don’t want to be hassled with a cancellation fee or miss a refund phone call and then end up being overcharged because you didn’t have time or energy.
No way! Let your Vacay Concierge handle all this for you with charm, wit and efficacy. Our coordination and orchestration is your dream vacay.
So next time you want to go on vacation in the Bahamas, not only will your Vacay Concierge make sure you get the best services for the best price in town, they also make sure you get it when you want it and how you want it, even if you want it within a few minutes, God willing, weather and life permitting.

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.
