It was an amazing excursion and such a reasonable price. They took us by Atlantis then to the pigs with plenty of time to feed and play with them. The pigs were super cute and it was really nice there! A little crowded but not too bad. The water was super clear too. The boat was super nice and we went snorkeling somewhere too which was super nice. The employees were all super kind and helpful and overall it was a great experience!

It was a wonderful experience! The guide was very kind and knowledgeable. He took us to all the places of interest and introduced a lot of background knowledge to us.

You can absolutely have a 5-star time and my most negative points are mostly personal.
The pros:
-The meeting point is in an office located in a strip mall. They have free light refreshments in the office and on the beach.
-The staff are all really nice, make sure you’re always hydrated, and apologetic about being late.
-The drivers really went at full speed which was really fun but scary for the people at the front of the boat. Honestly the boat ride there was the best part, and it felt new or upkept and completely safe.
Pigs are very cute. They release about 10 of them but there’s many more in the pen, including piglets. It will be easy getting photos. They are all female and non-aggressive. They tripled checked with the staff that it was too windy to go snorkeling. I actually appreciate that they make these judgments for people’s safety. Instead, we spend 1.5 hr on piggies. You get a cup of 10ish pieces to feed them. Yes it can be crowded but just be smart and wait.
The cons:
-The beach is really small, and you can’t really do anything but feed the pigs or lounge in a chair.
-The pigs are constantly peeing, and they seemed trained to do so in the water. So, so many people, unaware, washing their hands in the poo. There’s no place on the island safe from their diarrhea.
-Water isn’t swimmable. You can but it’s very rocky and with high winds you can get injured easily.
-20 mins late to start. Exactly 1.5 hrs with pigs. And 30 mins for the trip back
-The “tour” is just listing a bunch of rich people houses.
-Without snorkeling, not a very good value for money. You could technically snorkel on the island but you likely wont find anything.
-When we left we got on the boat first and sat in the middle where we did last time, making sure we didn’t end up on the tip of the boat but we had 5 extra stowaways so the boat was “unbalanced”. The guides didn’t remember who were the extras - I could’ve rattled them out but I didn’t - and instead I was punished for some reason and had to swap with the stowaways and sit at the tip. Not. Happy.
-Of course they don’t tell you until you leave the island that no one lives there because there’s bodies buried there. It further irritated me that I proceeded to answer their trivia questions but they couldn’t hear me and the stowaways took credit for my answers. Some of their facts are wrong, and they dare tell another lady she was wrong too. It just ended on a bad, bitter taste.
If you have a choice, don’t choose Athol Island.

They ran out of snorkel gear so my husband and others didn’t get to experience the snorkeling portion or even get into the water for that matter. Snorkeling trip was too short. By the time they got everyone in the water, they were already telling people to get back out.

This was by far the best excursion! Captain Kenny and Sterling made sure we had the best time and were well taken care of. We got to Pig Beach and were greeted with delicious rum punch and so many pigs- little babies we got to hold and some pretty big ones! While we were in the water feeding them, we saw a few rays swimming around us and that was super neat. They took us to a snorkel spot and we saw so many cool fish and lots of reefs! Would definitely do this again, memories to last a lifetime!!

Excellent company & friendly staff. They go above & beyond to accommodate for their guests. Thrilling, quick boat ride past amazing highlights allows more time for the beach, pigs & snorkeling. The snorkeling was outstanding. And the pigs were adorable. Overall amazing experience.

Check in was super easy and the staff were so friendly and professional. We spent the perfect amount of time at the beach with the pigs and snorkeling! The rum punch was also delicious. Would definitely recommend!

Finding the Bahamas jet boat office was a little tricky, but once we found it we were met with the best hospitality and service. The staff provided a safety briefing, an overview of what all we would be doing for the excursion and answered any questions. All of the men were pleasant and friendly. The pigs were SO CUTE!! We fed them chicken hot dogs and apples and even got to hold a baby piggy. You’re at the pig beach for about an hour which is plenty of time to take pics, play with the pigs, lay in the sun or swim. 100000/10 recommend!!!
