Swim with the Pigs/West End Experience
Overview
"No Crowds, No Buses, No Time Schedule but Yours!"
You will be on an exclusive personalized daytrip with your
trilingual Bahamian guide for the day. With me, your itinerary
can be changed to suit your preferences. We will visit all of the
local sites of interest in Freeport, Lucaya and the West End of Grand Bahama.
The highlight of this customized daytrip is Swimming with the Pigs at Crystal Beach. This is a unique fun activity for all the family to experience where you get to feed the pigs, pet them, hold them, swim with them, and enjoy the beautiful turquoise clear waters of the Bahamas. You will be interacting with the pigs, up close and personal.
After Swimming with the Pigs, you do have the option to Snorkel/Swim with the Turtles. Rental snorkel equipment is available at an additional cost. Afterwards, we tour West End, where you can try the best conch fritters and fresh conch salad on the waterfront in the oldest settlement and visit the Old Bahama Bay Resort and Marina.

What To Expect
This daytrip starts with touring the Open-Air Farmer's Market and visiting the Port Lucaya Marketplace. We will then head out to Swim with the Pigs for their first tour of the day. After you have swum with the pigs, you have the option to snorkel with the turtles if you like for an additional fee on site. After you have done both of these activities, we will then make our way to West End, the oldest settlement on Grand Bahama. During our tour of West End, you can sample the best conch fritters at Rosie's Chicken Nest and the best fresh conch salad at Shaebo's on the waterfront. We will then visit the prettiest beach at Old Bahama Bay Resort & Marina where you can enjoy a tropical cocktail sitting on the deck of their outdoor beach restaurant or simply take a stroll, have a swim or kick back in a hammock on their beautiful beach.
The perfect ending to a fabulous day enjoying these two most exciting activities of Swimming with the Pigs as well as Snorkeling/Swimming with the Turtles all in one day. My daytrips are exclusive and customized to suit your preferences and you will be touring with your very own personal trilingual Bahamian island guide for the day.

Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Cool Bahamas snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Cool Bahamas tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
