Swimming Pigs Tours: Questions And Answers
Answers to the questions travelers ask most about Nassau pig swims.
Common Questions
Is Hotel Pickup Provided?
It depends on the operator. Most trips meet at a dock in Nassau and you make your own way there, but a few listings cover transport. Swimming with Pigs in Nassau, Transportation Included, run by J&S Tours, lists hotel pickup in its price from $179 per person. Always check the meeting point on the live booking page before you go.
What Does The Price Include?
It varies by tour. Rose Island trips, from $75 to $258, generally cover the boat ride and pig beach time, while options like Sandy Toes at $258 add lunch and beach club access. Exuma day tours from $378 add stops such as iguanas, nurse sharks and lunch. Check each listing for full inclusions.
Can I Buy Lunch On The Tour?
Many listings include lunch, including the Shore To Shore 3 Islands tour at $122.85 per person and the Born Free Exuma trip at $438.90. Cheaper water taxi options, like the $89 Rose Island trip, leave you to buy food and drinks at the beach bar, so bring cash or a card.
How Long Do Tours Run?
Rose Island trips mostly run 3 to 4 hours, with the Swimming Pigs Express under 3 hours at $79 and Sandy Toes lasting 6 hours. Exuma day tours run 6 to 8 hours by powerboat, and the fly-in Exuma options run 6 to 9 hours. The self-drive speedboat trip is a shorter 2 hours.
What Should I Pack?
Swimwear under your clothes, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and cash or card for beach bar purchases. Snorkel gear is included on many listings. Dry bags help on the faster Exuma powerboats.
What Is The Cancellation Policy?
Every tour on this site offers free cancellation, though the deadline varies by operator, commonly up to 24 hours before departure. Confirm the exact cutoff on the live booking page before you reserve.
Is It Good For Children?
Yes, most listings are family friendly. Pigs can nip when food is around, and some listings do not accept infants, so check age rules on the listing. Shorter Rose Island trips are easier on kids than the 8-hour Exuma runs.
