Overview

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.

Itinerary

Elizabeth on Bay
15 min
Your journey begins at Elizabeth on Bay Marina on East Bay Street, Nassau — just east of the Nassau Cruise Port. Meet your crew, find your seat and settle in for the short, scenic crossing to your adventure.
Nassau Harbour
Pass by
Pulling away from the dock, you cruise out across Nassau Harbour — turquoise water, passing cruise ships and the Nassau and Paradise Island skyline as you head toward open Bahamian sea.
Atlantis Paradise Island Bahamas
Pass by
You set off directly across from the towers of Atlantis Paradise Island, then glide along the Paradise Island shoreline before it opens into quiet out-island water.
Pearl Island Bahamas
1 hr
Sailing out from Nassau, you'll arrive at Pearl Island — a private island crowned by its iconic white lighthouse and ringed by clear turquoise water. Take time to explore the island, relax on the beautiful beach and soak up the setting before you transfer boats and continue to the pigs.
Pig Beach
1 hr
The main event. Step into the warm, crystal-clear shallows of Pig Beach, where the Bahamas' world-famous swimming pigs roam free. Hold out a snack and watch them come paddling right up to you — snouts up, completely unbothered by the cameras. Feed them, splash beside them and capture the photos everyone comes for.
Pearl Island Bahamas
30 min
Heading back, you'll make a quick stop at Pearl Island to switch boats, with a moment to enjoy the island and have a quick visit at the lighthouse before returning to Nassau.
Elizabeth on Bay
15 min
Get ready and settle in for the short, scenic ride back to Nassau — sun on your face, camera roll full, the whole trip done in about three hours.
