About this experience
Step aboard one of our luxury powerboats and get ready to explore the breathtaking Exuma Cays! Your adventure begins with a visit to Allen’s Cay, home to the famous Bahamian Rock Iguanas, secluded on their own island. Next, enjoy a scenic cruise through the Exuma Cays, surrounded by stunning aqua-blue waters and pristine white-sand beaches. View the remains of Pablo Escobar’s sunken plane, an iconic and fascinating photo opportunity, before heading to Compass Cay Marina to swim with the friendly nurse sharks in their natural habitat. From there, we continue to the main attraction—Big Major Cay, also known as Pig Beach—home of the world-famous Swimming Pigs, where you can take selfies and capture unforgettable moments with the pigs. After the adventure, we’ll stop at a local restaurant to enjoy a delicious hot lunch, included in your tour. To end the day, relax on a beautiful sandbar (tide dependent) or unwind on a white sandy beach surrounded by crystal-clear waters.
