The Swimming Pigs Express departs from Elizabeth on Bay Marina, just a short walk east of the Nassau Cruise Port.
Your ticket will show your exact departure location. Please arrive early: check-in closes 15 minutes before departure.
You really can! And they’re surprisingly good swimmers! Meet our famous pigs in the shallow, turquoise water, where our guides stay right beside you throughout the experience. You’ll get the chance to feed them, interact with them, and capture plenty of unforgettable photos. And because the encounter takes place in shallow water, you don’t need to be a strong swimmer to enjoy it.
Almost certainly. Our full-day experiences return to Nassau around 4:00 PM, giving guests on most cruise ships plenty of time to get back on board before departure. If your ship’s all-aboard time is earlier than 5:00 PM, contact us before booking and we’ll confirm whether the experience works with your schedule.
