Swim with the Pigs West End: Customized Grand Bahama Day Trip

Feed, pet and swim with pigs in turquoise water, then snorkel with turtles the same day.

A customized six-hour day trip from West End, Grand Bahama with a trilingual Bahamian guide who adjusts the itinerary to your preferences. You swim with pigs at Crystal Beach (feeding, petting and holding them in the water), then optionally snorkel with turtles. The tour includes stops at the Open-Air Farmer's Market, Port Lucaya Marketplace, and West End, where you can eat conch fritters and fresh conch salad on the waterfront before finishing at Old Bahama Bay Resort & Marina.

The experience

The day starts at the Open-Air Farmer's Market and Port Lucaya Marketplace, then moves to Crystal Beach for the main event: swimming with the pigs. You get in the water with them, feed them by hand, pet them and hold them: an up-close interaction most visitors travel to the Bahamas specifically to do. After that, you have the option to add snorkel time with turtles for an extra fee paid on site.

Once you're done with the water, the guide takes you to West End, the oldest settlement on Grand Bahama. You can order conch fritters at Rosie's Chicken Nest and fresh conch salad at Shaebo's, both on the waterfront. The day ends at Old Bahama Bay Resort & Marina, where you can order a tropical cocktail from the beach restaurant, swim, walk the sand or rest in a hammock before heading back.

Your guide speaks English, Spanish and French, and the itinerary is yours to shape. If you want to skip a stop or linger somewhere, you say so. The vehicle is air-conditioned, and pickup is included in the price.
