Can we swim with the pigs in the Exumas?
Yes. The swimming pigs live at Big Major’s Cay near Staniel Cay, and nearly every Exumas charter stops there. Go early, before the day boats arrive from Nassau.
It is genuinely a highlight, and genuinely busy by ten in the morning. Staying aboard a yacht is the advantage: you can be in the water at seven with the beach to yourself. The same stretch takes in Thunderball Grotto, the cave from the Bond film, which needs slack water to snorkel comfortably. Do not feed the pigs anything the crew has not given you, and keep fingers out of the way, because they are large animals and not tame.
