- Compass Cay - Compass Cay is famous for their nurse shark population that call this marina home. Here the nurse sharks are not shy, and welcome thousands of visitors per year. Some of the most Instagram worthy photos will happen at this stop while you take a swim in the clear water surrounded by nurse sharks!
- Great Exuma - Enjoy a delicious lunch and a cold drink at a local Exuma restaurant before getting back on the boat to continue your tour. Lunch is a Bahamian style buffet that will not disappoint!
- Pig Beach - Big Major’s Cay the home of the now world famous swimming pigs! These pigs have made their way around the world thanks to shows like ABC’s The Bachelor and many social media influencers who have visited the pigs here and have shared their experiences with millions of followers. Here you will have the opportunity to feed and swim with pigs. Don’t forget to take photos!
- Norman’s Cay - You will have the chance to snorkel at a plane wreck known famously as “Pablo Escobar’s sunken plane”. The plane crashed in at this spot just off Norman’s Cay in the late 1970’s supposedly filled with cocaine. During this time, Pablo Escobar had taken control of Norman’s Cay and its small run way to utilize it as a home base and refueling point for the planes that were running cocaine from Mexico to the U.S. Definitely as must see!
- Exuma - The only way to finish off a perfect day is to enjoy some beach time! You will stop at a beautiful sandbar or beach for swimming, sunbathing, and more photo taking before heading back to Paradise Island.

Must Do - As a former travel show host and producer of Mira Travel Show I will rate this as a must do in Bahamas with Born Free. Imagine being one with nature and animals while enjoying the enchanting waters of Exuma as you journey to swim with nurse sharks, Fred iguanas and feed the iconic pigs. Customer service of Born Free Staff was professional,personable, helpful and exciting. Thank you Nick.

Excellent Excursion - This was an excellent excursion if you are looking to cross off multiple experiences in a single day. The crew were attentive and engaging always offering a hand getting on/ off the boat and getting snacks and drinks continuously. Like previous reviews bring a sweatshirt and pants because it is very cold on the boat, especially after you get wet. This is more like a boat trip with a few short stops along the way. Exuma is an hour each way from Nassau so a lot of this trip is on the boat. The snorkeling is quick but 15-20 mins at each of the other stops (iguanas, pigs, sharks and sand bar) is more then enough time to take a few picks and get on your way. Yes it is bumpy, you are traveling 45 mph across open ocean, but at no point was it uncomfortable it was rather relaxing. Don’t let the price discourage you, this is a very good trip for the money.

Had a great time!! - We had such an incredible time on this tour! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals, you can tell they very much enjoy their jobs. All of the excursions were very fun and didn’t feel rushed. We had just enough time at each location. It does get a bit chilly and windy because of the speed of the boat. Suggest bringing something to cover up with such as a light jacket. Crew provided snacks and drinks the entire time and always made sure that we were taken care of.

Lots of attractions in one tour and lots of time spent on the boat in transit. - There are a lot of interactions in one tour.This tour is ideal for someone who wants to see a lot of attractions in one tour and is fine with being on a boat for four to five hours. There were snacks and drinks on the boat, and the boat very new and had plenty of shade.
First thing we did was go to the iguanas beach and fed them—it was cool. Swimming with nurse sharks felt magical. The pigs at Pig Beach were adorable. Lunch at the yacht club was delicious and included in the price— cocktails are extra and are on your own tab. The snorkeling portion of the tour was beautiful but very short. It was probably no more than 20 minutes total. And, if you want to use fins, you will need to bring your own. Nice snorkels and masks were provided by the tour company.

Pig Island Exuma Boat Tour - Had an absolutely GREAT experience. Our crew was very fun, caring and truly kind (AJ, Keith and Wilson.) They helped make a truly amazing experience.
We first went to iguana island where they provided us with leaves of lettuce to feed the iguanas. After, we swam with the nurse sharks. We also had a chance to snorkel and see a plane underwater. Then, finally, PIG ISLAND!! What a neat experience! They provided carrots to feed the pigs. Some of these pigs were HUGE! Afterwards, we stopped by one of the islands to have lunch. A buffet was provided, which included salad, coleslaw, rice, fried chicken, fried fish and some kind of tender beef dish, along with drinks. After lunch we started making our way back with a 25-30 minute stop at a beautiful sand bar.
I would highly recommend this trip for anyone who wants to experience a little bit of everything! It’s good for friends, families, couples, etc.

Iguana, shark and pig excursion - Beautiful trip, they kept it moving along. Bring coat and pants!!! Cold on the water even though 75+ degrees on land. Very rough ride back. Be prepared to get to totally soaked in the two hour ride.
