The number one thing visitors and locals to The Bahamas want to see is the Swimming Pigs! These unique animals love visitors, and this is the best way to see them from Nassau!
Join us as we zoom through the stunning Exuma Cays, with stops to explore the beauty up close.
Our first stop is to see the Bahamian Rock Iguanas – secluded on their very own island in paradise. From there we head to the main attraction at Big Major Cay (a.k.a. ‘Pig Beach’)– home to the world-famous Swimming Pigs! Enjoy interacting with these guys, feeding them, and listening to them tell tales of being marooned on an island!
Afterwards, we will visit a local cay for lunch; where we’ll often see shark and sting ray visitors at the dock. Lunch is included in the trip price and food options will be presented at booking.
The day continues with a final stop in the Northern Exuma Cays, at a secluded beach or sandbank (tide dependent).
The last leg takes you back to Nassau, where the sun setting over the capital of the Bahamas welcomes you back to Nassau Harbour!
Each journey between stops is just over an hour on the unique bench-seat Contender 39ST. The above itinerary’s order of stops is subject to change based on tides. Full restroom facilities are available at Bay Street Marina and the restaurant visited for lunch.
