What to Expect: The Highlights

1. Bahamian Rock Iguanas at Allen’s Cay

First stop? Hanging out with some of the OG island locals—the endangered Bahamian rock iguanas. These guys are big, scaly, and surprisingly photogenic. Just don’t try to pet them. They may look chill, but they’ve got a strict no cuddles policy.

2. Swimming with Sharks at Compass Cay

Next up: a casual swim with nurse sharks. No big deal, right? These guys are basically the golden retrievers of the sea—gentle, friendly, and always down for a snack. But let’s be real, telling your friends, “Yeah, I swam with sharks,” makes you sound like an absolute legend.

3. Swimming Pigs at Big Major’s Cay

Now, the main event—the world-famous, Instagram-approved swimming pigs! Yes, these pigs actually swim. No, we’re not sure why. But watching them paddle over for a snack (that you’ll be providing) is both hilarious and oddly heartwarming. Just hold onto your food—these porkers are enthusiastic eaters.

4. Snorkeling Pablo Escobar’s Sunken Drug Plane

Because no Caribbean adventure is complete without a little touch of history (and a sprinkle of mystery). This sunken plane is said to be from one of Pablo Escobar’s many smuggling operations. Today, it’s a coral-covered snorkeling hotspot, and let’s just say the fish have definitely claimed it as their own.

5. Lunch at a Local Restaurant

At this point, you’ll be hungry—like, “I just fed pigs, swam with sharks, and became one with the ocean” hungry. Good thing lunch is included. Fresh seafood, island flavors, and an ocean view? Yes, please.

6. Sandbar Chillin’

The grand finale? Kicking back on a stunning sandbar, where the water is crystal clear and the vibes are immaculate. This is your “main character” moment—soak it up.

What’s Included?

• Lunch at a local restaurant (because adventure requires fuel)

• Local beer, soda, and water (hydration = key)

• Snorkel gear (for those shipwreck vibes)

• Landing fees (no surprise costs, we love that)

• Food for the animals (because the pigs expect treats)

Important Stuff You Need to Know

• This is a shared tour with up to 25 guests. So, new friends? Likely. Unforgettable memories? Guaranteed.

• Not suitable for pregnant women. Safety first, mamas-to-be!

• There is no wheelchair access and you’ll need to be able to climb a vertical ladder.

• If you have chronic neck or back issues, this may not be the trip for you. The boat ride is fast, fun, and occasionally bumpy.

• Children under 2 years old are not permitted. Sorry, tiny travelers—this one’s for the big kids.

• Bring your own sunscreen and reapply generously. The Bahamian sun is beautiful, but it doesn’t play around.

• There’s a 48-hour cancellation policy, so make sure you’re locked in!

• Transportation to the check-in location is not included—so plan ahead!

  
  

Final Thoughts: Is It Worth It?

A full day of adventure, breathtaking sights, close encounters with iconic animals, and the chance to say, “I swam with sharks and pigs in the same day”? 1000% yes. This Exuma day trip is THE must-do experience if you’re visiting the Bahamas.

So, pack your swimsuit, charge your phone (for ALL the pics), and get ready for the boat ride of your life.
