Swimming with Bahama Pigs - Nassau Excursion from Carnival Freedom
Just a quick video of our excursion to go swim with the famous Bahama Pigs while we were in Nassau. We were on the Carnival Freedom over New Years and took advantage of the great weather in the Bahamas to go swim with pigs. Definitely a fun time and if you are going to Nassau, I would recommend it.

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.

We spent one week in paradise on Great Exuma by end of November. We dreamed for a long time of seeing the Swimming Pigs and our dream finally came true. Besides that, we have never seen such crystal clear water and stunning white beaches before.
We got to see the Swimming Pigs, some crazy dogs, nurse sharks, stingrays, and iguanas and snorkelled the Thunderball Grotto with many fish.
When watching the video, don't forget to turn on HD 1080!

We offer many types of adventures including sightseeing to the original and now famous Staniel Cay swimming pigs. Swim with the sharks at Compass Cay, hand-feeding turtles at Farmers Cay, and snorkeling on a old drug plane & natural aquarium in the land and sea park. Visit a blowhole, jump into Nature’s Bubble Bath, walk on a mile-long sandbar and visit an island that only Iguanas inhabit. Snorkeling is a must at Thunderball Grotto which was the scene of a James Bond 007 movie. Located just west of Staniel Cay, this fantastic underwater cave system is great for snorkeling, diving, and wading. It is teeming with exotic marine life and a kaleidoscope of brilliantly colored coral reefs and fish, like yellow-tail snappers, Angel fish, Sergeant Majors and the like. The grotto’s mystique is heightened by the small, almost hidden entrance. It is advised to enter at ebb tide (low or slack tide) and snorkeling equipment is optional.We haven’t even started to share all the memory making adventures available to you in the Exuma Cays.
Want to Scuba Dive? As a boutique scuba diving experience, we cater to small group of six people or less and focus on personal attention, comfort, safety and environmental responsibility. We have a luxury boat and keep our service very personal. Join Cameron Siewruk a PADI Dive Instructor for a dive or two in crystal clear water. Not certified? No problem! Take our Discover Scuba Class for ages 10 years and up.
Want to head out fishing around Staniel Cay? Try conch diving, bone fishing, spearfishing, deep sea fishing, reef fishing or traditional Bahamian-style hand line fishing. We have all the gear to get you catching the fish for dinner.

THE SWIMMING PIGS OF THE BAHAMAS!
The swimming pigs are located in the Exumas, which are an archipelago of 365 islands and cays just southeast of Nassau. In particular, the pigs live on Big Major Cay, a stretch of land that is uninhabited by humans. However, you might know this island better by its unofficial name—Pig Beach.

BAHAMAS FILM CHALLENGE: The Exumas: Bruna Fionda: 'I done reached'
Ray Lightbourn (my Envoy from the Exumas) and I searched for peoples treasure stories of the Exumas and found ourselves helping Jeanie, Bahama Mama find her treasure: For 55 years Jeanie has wanted to go to Hog Cay, where her mother was born, just to step foot on the beach and pay homage. Jeanies parents separated when she was three years old and was deprived access to her mother. Jeanies mother, Emmie Vivienne Knowles-Sweeting was a professional photographer and was also one of the first to develop colour photography with Agfa. Jeanie recalls meeting her Mummy on three occasions, before Emmie died at the age of 29. This is a personal journey of a daughter bringing closure to losing a Mummy that she hardly had or knew. Jeanie said, Id die happy if I can get to Hog Cay, Id die happy anyway but Id die even happier. On this journey, 87 year old singer/songwriter Prince Fawkes sings his calypso song on Exuma down by the sea.
