Join us on one of our Deluxe Powerboats as we set off to discover the Exuma Cays! Our adventure begins with a visit to the Bahamian Rock Iguanas who inhabit their very own island, Allen’s Cay. We then embark on a picturesque trip through the numerous islands of the Exuma Cays, enveloped in stunning aquamarine waters and pristine white sandy beaches. We’ll make a stop at Compass Cay Marina to see the nurse sharks, before continuing to our main highlight at Big Major Cay (popularly known as ‘Pig Beach’)– the dwelling place of the world-renowned Swimming Pigs! Following that, we’ll head to a local eatery where a warm lunch, included in the tour price, will be served.

Don’t hesitate and BOOK! - A highlight of our recent trip to Bahamas was Aquashores Exuma Group Tour - Famous Swimming Pigs Full Day Tour (Midnight 39ft Boat #2). What an incredible day with the absolute best crew. I am sure all of their tours are equally as wonderful but if you can get LJ and Emilio as your crew you have hit the jackpot. They were a wealth of knowledge, amazing with the kids, super accommodating and not to mention had the best playlist all day! The boat was a machine, cuts through the water like nothing I’ve seen before making for a smooth ride despite the wind. Up close and personal with the animals was a win. Note, the pigs are not exactly how you might imagine from Instagram, way more aggressive and huge - don’t expect to be swimming and cuddling up on them except if you are lucky enough to have visits from the piglets ;). But the crew know all the tricks to keep you safe and capture your perfect photos. A surprise was our lunch visit to Stanley Cay Yacht Club, delicious food and drinks, lovely island escape. Hurry and book your tour today!

Amazing experience! Glad I did it! - What a great tour and Emilio and Rico were great guides! Overall, a safe, unique, and fun day exploring the Exumas! I've been to some 37 countries and have done a lot of tours, and while this one is a bit pricey for sure, given the diversity of unique activities, definitely worth it! I literally had only 2.5 days in the Bahamas but glad I spent one doing this tour The Exumas is definitely the treasure of the Bahamas - an archipelago of beautiful islands and water of every shade of blue. The speed boat cuts through the waves with ease and seats were pretty comfortable, which is good because the ride itself is a bit long (about an hour to the first stop). Good mix of stops including feeding the rock iguanas, swimming and getting to hold the nurse sharks (this was my favorite part!), a surprisingly nice lunch at an actual restaurant, the famous pig beach, and then a little beach time. A few thing to note: there was no snorkeling on this tour, which I thought there was and was disappointed by. We stopped at the sunken wreck of Pablo Escobar's plane but didn't actually get out. Some of the stops (the beach stop) felt a little bit rushed for my taste. Also the pigs at the pig beach are huge and pretty wild! I was a little wary around the pigs, but it was still cool. Got hold an adorable baby pig!

Best full day trip! - This was one of the best days we had in the Bahamas. The views and the interaction with the wildlife we encountered were amazing. A big shout out to our Captains, Leslie and Amilio for making the day so great. They were great with the boat and very knowledgeable of the islands.

Exuma Tour - We went this week to Exuma and the Swimming Pigs tour . The boat staff was amazing and it was a beautiful day for an hour boat ride . The boat at snacks and water . The staff kept checking on everyone . The water was smooth and the sun was out . The kids loved every stop especially the iguanas and pigs . The swimming was great and lunch was an adorable yacht club . We would do it again . The speed boat was a great size with a shared covering and bathroom

Great Time - 6 of us booked the all day trip to swim with nerf sharks, the swimming pigs, iguanas, private island and have lunch the waters are incredibly beautiful, actually they can’t even be explained in words. Our captains, Leslie and Emilio were fantastic, very knowledgeable about the many islands we passed, were very friendly making sure we always had drinks, snacks and an overall great time. Would definitely recommend to anyone that is in Nassau to spend the money and book the adventure and enjoy the day!
