The experience

The day starts with a boat ride through Nassau Harbour past Fort Montagu and Paradise Island, where you'll see the Atlantis Resort and the Ocean Club before arriving at your private Pig Beach. Once there, you feed and photograph the world-famous swimming pigs up close. They're accustomed to visitors and unafraid. After that comes the water: jet ski rides across crystal-clear shallows, banana boat splashes, and time on a water trampoline. Floaties, kayaks, and paddleboards stay available the whole time if you want to drift between activities.

The guided snorkeling session is where the reef opens up. You'll use provided equipment to explore vibrant marine life in waters you've already swum in with the pigs. The coral here is healthy enough to support schools of fish and the kind of visibility that makes the underwater landscape readable without struggle. Between water time, you sit on beach chairs under swings and hammocks, sip unlimited rum punch, and play beachside games: volleyball, cornhole, tug-of-war, hatchet toss, giant Connect Four. Lunch arrives as a plated meal with American favorites, Bahamian classics, and vegan options.

The free photo and video package means you leave with documented proof of the pigs, the snorkeling, and whatever moments mattered to you. Soft drinks and pig feed are supplied. Bring your swimsuit, sunscreen, and a moderate level of fitness for the water activities. The experience wraps in 3.5 hours, timed so cruise passengers can return to their ship on schedule.

What are the swimming pigs like when you get to Pig Beach?

The pigs are accustomed to visitors and unafraid. You feed them directly and photograph them in the water. They're the main attraction before the snorkeling and water sports begin.

What's included in the snorkeling part of this activity?

Snorkeling equipment is provided and a live guide leads the session through vibrant coral reefs. You explore the same waters where you've already swum with the pigs, so the marine life and reef structure are visible in clear, shallow conditions.

How much time do you actually spend in the water versus on the beach?

The full experience runs 3.5 hours from boat departure to return. Time splits between the pig encounter, jet ski and banana boat rides, the guided snorkeling session, and relaxation on beach chairs with games and meals in between.

What happens if you don't want to do the jet ski or banana boat?

Jet ski and banana boat rides are included, but floaties, kayaks, paddleboards, and water toys offer alternatives if you prefer a gentler pace. You can also sit in the swings and hammocks, play beachside games, or simply rest between snorkeling and other activities.

Does the price cover food and drinks for the whole day?

Lunch is a plated meal with American and Bahamian options plus vegan choices. Unlimited rum punch is included throughout the day, along with soft drinks and snacks. You bring your own swimsuit. Everything else for the water and beach is provided.

What's the view like from Pig Beach?

From the private beach, you see Rose Island in the distance, Blue Lagoon Island and Sun Cay across the waterway, and the turquoise shallows that make the snorkeling and water sports possible. The setting is open water and tropical islands, not a crowded resort beach.
