Nassau: Bahamas Swimming Pigs & Pearl Island Beach with Lunch
Overview
You've seen the swimming pigs all over your feed — now it's your turn, and a full island day comes with them.
From Nassau, head out to meet the Bahamas' most famous locals: the world-famous swimming pigs. Wade into the warm shallows, hold out a snack, and watch them paddle straight over — snouts up, unbothered by your camera. These aren't penned pigs — they roam free in their own turquoise water.
Then it's over to private Pearl Island for the full beach escape. Two white-sand beaches (one social, one quiet), plus kayaks, paddleboards, water mats all included. Climb the island's iconic lighthouse for sweeping views across Nassau Harbour, rinse off under a fresh-water shower, and settle onto a shaded deck or beach chair. A traditional Bahamian lunch is cooked fresh on the island.
No resort wristbands, no day-pass queues — just the pigs and a private island for the day. Roundtrip ferry from Nassau and lunch are included; just bring a swimsuit and a camera.
