What Makes Exuma’s Swimming Pigs Unique

The Original, Wild Experience: The pigs on Big Major Cay in Exuma are the original swimming pigs of the Bahamas, living wild on an uninhabited island. This location is steeped in local lore and is considered the birthplace of the swimming pigs phenomenon.

Wild and Unscripted: Encounters with the Exuma pigs are less structured. The pigs are wild, and their behavior can be unpredictable—sometimes friendly, and somtimes aggressive especially when food is involved. This can make the experience feel more adventurous and authentic, but also requires caution.

Scenic and Iconic Setting: Pig Beach is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and is a bucket-list destination for travelers seeking the classic, untamed Bahamian swimming pigs experience.

Part of a Broader Adventure: Tours to Exuma often include visits to other attractions like the endangered iguanas and nurse sharks, adding to the adventure.

More about this tour

Ada Ciganlija

Warm, welcoming and a hell of a lot of fun – everything you never heard about Serbia is true. Exuding a feisty mix of elan and inat (national trait of rebellious defiance), this country doesn’t do ‘mild’: Belgrade rivals Berlin as a party destination, the northern town of Novi Sad hosts the epic EXIT festival, and even its hospitality is emphatic – expect to be greeted with rakija (fruit brandy) and a hearty three-kiss hello.
