SWIMMING PIGS AT PIG BEACH REVIEW
If you are staying in Exuma Bahamas it's rather easy to find a local tour company that offers daily tours to pig beach which is where the swimming pigs are located. If you are staying at one of the other islands in the Bahamas, you can still find a day trip, but it is not as accessible.
We stayed in Georgetown, Exuma (at Sandals Emerald Bay) where most tours will include a round-trip shuttle from your hotel. Guided group tours will run about $100-$200/per person depending on a full vs. half day tours. Private tours will run you $2000+.
We took a private tour through Robert's Island Adventure and had such an amazing experience with them. They were very relaxed, took us where we wanted to go, gave us insights into certain things about Exuma Bahamas. Overall a great company!
Most likely, you’re part of a half or full day tour making other stops along the way around the Exumas. Those stops include:
--Seeing iguanas
--Swimming with the nurse sharks at Compass Cay
--Snorkeling Thunderbolt Grotto
--The mile-long sandbar
All while weaving in and out of remote islands and celebrity homes surrounded by some of the bluest water in the world.
The nice thing about the swimming pigs at pig beach is that its seclusion. Making it tough to get there. Tour groups shuffle in and out throughout the day but there is a good chance that you’ll have the entire pig beach to yourself, even if it's just for 5-10 minutes.
Upon arrival, the boat will pull up to shore so that you can hop in the water but the swimming pigs waste no time. They know that more boats, mean more tourists with food for them.
Most Exuma tours will stop there for 20-30 minutes. Enough time to get some fun video with the swimming pigs as well as pictures of you playing in the water and on shore with the swimming pigs. The swimming pigs come out into the water to get some food but on shore, they try to stay in the shade.
Keep in mind, these are still animals. The swimming pigs eat and go to the bathroom so do not be surprised if you see something brown floating in the water around you.
Unfortunately, a couple years ago, tourists either fed the swimming pigs alcohol or spilled alcohol on pig beach, enough that the swimming pigs were able to digest it and killing most of them off. The pig population there is slowly coming back, but if we want to continue to be able to marvel at some of these attractions, we need to be humane otherwise they’ll ban tourists from visiting the swimming pigs at pig beach altogether.
The swimming pigs were such an amazing experience with being able to interact with, feed and swim alongside them. Something you cannot find anywhere else in the world.
