The experience

The boat leaves from downtown Nassau and heads out past Paradise Island, where you'll see the pink towers of Atlantis Resort and the Ocean Club's elegant beachfront before cruising past Fort Montagu, the oldest fort still standing in Nassau Harbor. The guide shares the history and folklore of the islands as you move through the water. On the quick version, you skip straight to Pig Beach. On the full tour, you get the full harbor cruise first.

At the private beach, you wade into the water to hold and feed the swimming pigs. They're friendly and used to visitors. The beach has lounge chairs, hammocks, and swings facing the turquoise water. Snorkeling gear, kayaks, and paddleboards are ready to use. Water toys and floaties are there if you want them. Jet skis are available to rent separately if you want more speed. Unlimited rum punch flows all afternoon, along with snacks and soft drinks.

Beach games run the length of your stay: volleyball, cornhole, tug-of-war, hatchet toss, and giant Connect Four. A water trampoline sits at the edge of the sand. The whole time, a photographer and videographer move through the group, and you leave with a complimentary photo and video package: no extra charge, no separate order. Infants can come in a stroller or specialized seat, and the beach works for all fitness levels.
