First I want to say THANK YOU CAPTAIN A1! This is a wonderful experience. You get a boat ride from your cruise port or if you’re not on a cruise they’ll pick you up from elsewhere to the private pig island. On the island you’re able to swim, water trampoline, snorkel, paddle boat and relax on the beach until all the pigs come out. The guides offer to take pictures and videos (they do an AMAZING job). After the pig interactions, we had Bahamian lunch which was fantastic! The guides were so nice and knowledgeable. I did not feel rushed at all. Once everything was over with you leave back on boat and then sight see for turtles :) If you decide to drink at the bar get the rum punch 😋10/10 Love this experience I cannot recommend it anymore.

Such a fun experience! You'll take a 30 minute boat ride to the island, then have several hours to hang out on the beach, swim, have lunch and have your pig experience. Very nice people! Beer was expensive - $8 each - but a generous lunch was included.

This was such a great experience with a great company. Da Beach Pig were both personable and hospitable. Anwar was our boat captain and he got us there and back safely. The guys on the island were friendly and knowledgeable and it was so fun spending time with the pigs. Hey Panda!! Lastly, GiGi was there to make sure everything went smoothly with the guests and she served a WONDERFUL lunch. I was ready for a nap afterwards. Also the Bahamas mama I purchased was made with love. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Only tour to go out today to Rose Island, all others cancelled due to weather. I guess some could say we were lucky but I would have preferred cancelled. Boat rides are always fun, but beach and sea were not. We could not go in Water safely to snorkel, battle board, use swings in water or even swim nor did the pigs which I guess is good. So we had about 45 minutes on the boat, 30 minutes with pigs was amazing, 15-30 for lunch (it was good) but only sprite or coke no other options for those that don’t drink soda. We then had over an hour with not a lot to do but sit on beach or covered area because of rain and look at ocean. On a beautiful day this would be a good excursion but today should have been cancelled.

This is a really awesome adventure! We went to assume a few years ago took almost 40 minutes to get there by boat and a lot of people were seasick This company has created its own private beach, setting with chairs, a bar and a nice lunch They have a herd of about eight or nine pics, which is more than enough for everyone to get their full of these pigs. The Exuma activity has too many pigs /tourists and ia hard to keep track of them . They can get mildly aggressive if they see something in your hand. This is a perfect land of meeting other couples lying on the beach for a few hours in a private area very good food and a controlled feeding I would do this again vs exuma . It was only 20 to 25 minutes front and back. On the ship .

A peaceful retreat away to a beautiful island. Only thing I’ll complain about is that the pigs were a bit disgusting when they got into the water 😅 but that’s not their fault and it was an experience, I just probably won’t do this activity ever again😂

It's an excellent experience. The staff is cool and friendly. The area is beautiful. Looks like they're doing more work so will probably be even nicer as time goes on. Lunch was very good. Good amount of food. The pig experience was cool. A little short but fun. The only complaint about the pigs is not as advertised. You can't really pet them they move to fast. You definitely can't pick them up like in the advertised photos. Have to feed them from a stick. I personally had no interest in hugging or picking up a pig so I was cool with it but it's not as advertised. The boat is a little scary looking but seemed mechanically sound. Could use some cool music playing on the beach and more water toys. Other beaches around had more beach games and water activities. Just have paddle boards and a nice beach. Now the down side!! Reason for 4 stars and debated myself to maybe giving it 3 stars. $35 Drinks!!!! Yes not a typo $35 each!!! They never tell you up front and have everyone run a tab til the end. Thank god my wife and I only had 3 ($105 bill). They have limited ice tea and water which is free but again limited to lunch only. Overall we're glad we did it no regrets. Would recommend to my friends and family with a warning label about the drinks.

Absolutely unforgettable experience! Swimming with the pigs in the Bahamas was one of the highlights of our trip. The entire tour was well-organized, fun, and truly unique. The staff made everything even better—they were friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt safe and taken care of. The pigs were adorable, the water was crystal clear, and every moment felt magical. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Bahamas. Worth every penny!

I thought the boat ride to the island and then feeding the pigs was fun but in the description it said snorkeling and paddle boards were available and they were not . So slightly disappointed with that but otherwise a fun trip
