The Bahamas' most famous residents
Meet the swimming pigs
Yes, they swim. Yes, it's every bit as brilliant as it looks. And yes — you can meet them on a day out with Dex Adventures.
The welcoming committeeThe experience
Pigs might fly — but here, they definitely swim
Nobody knows exactly how the island pigs first learned that boats mean company, but generations of them have been paddling out to say hello ever since. It's become one of the most beloved experiences in the Bahamas — part wildlife encounter, part comedy, all joy.
With Dex Adventures you'll reach them by boat as part of a beautiful day on the water. Watch them swim, step onto the beach to meet them properly, and take the kind of photos your group chat will refuse to believe. The exact plan depends on conditions on the day — we'll confirm everything when you enquire.
