THE BAHAMAS' MOST FAMOUS LOCALS ARE WAITING FOR YOU
You've seen them all over your feed: the swimming pigs of the Bahamas, paddling straight up to travellers in impossibly blue water. On the Swimming Pigs Express, you finally meet them yourself — with a stop at one of Nassau's most beautiful private islands along the way.
In just 2-3 hours, we take you from Nassau to Pearl Island and Athol Island's famous Pig Beach, where the Bahamas' world-famous swimming pigs are ready to play. Wade into the warm 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.

WHY THE EXPRESS?
Short on time but refuse to leave the Bahamas without meeting the pigs? This is your trip. Built for cruise guests and tight schedules, the Express skips the long day and delivers the one experience everybody comes for — fast, easy and unforgettable. Return boat transfer from Nassau is included, so all you bring is your swimming costume and your camera.

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
• Up-close, hands-on time with the real Bahamian swimming pigs
• Calm, crystal-clear shallows — ideal for photos and first-timers
• A friendly local crew to guide your encounter
• A direct, no-wasted-time trip to Athol Island's Pig Beach

These aren't pigs in a pen. They're free-roaming island celebrities, and meeting them in their own turquoise playground is the moment that defines a Bahamas trip.
