Spanish Wells Swimming Pigs Excursion
Experience true island life while visiting some of the beautiful islands of Eleuthera!
Our first stop on this journey is Meek’s Patch, where we visit the Spanish Wells Swimming Pigs. These cousins of the Exuma Swimming Pigs love to show visitors around their secluded island. Take time to feed them goodies, snap photos and enjoy the stunning beaches.
Once we have spent some time with our pig friends, we head to lunch on mainland Spanish Wells. Here you’ll enjoy delicious cuisine and have a chance to explore the quaint community.
After lunch, we head towards a secluded beach or sandbar (tide dependent) where you can spend some time relaxing and sunbathing, before heading back to the Nassau Harbour.
Each journey between stops is just over an hour. The above itinerary’s order of stops is subject to change based on tides. Full restroom facilities are available at Bay Street Marina and the restaurant visited for lunch.
All persons must be age 8 and up. Individuals aged 17 and younger will need to be accompanied by an adult/guardian. We regret that this trip is not suitable for expectant mothers, infants or persons with knee, neck or back problems, heart problems or conditions affected by high speed travel. We recommend all participants to be physically fit. Participants must be able to understand basic English.
Price Includes: Chilled bottled water throughout the day, a light snack, food to feed the Swimming Pigs and lunch on Spanish Wells.
