Swimming Pigs. Rose Island, Bahamas.

Only 25 minutes from Nassau/Paradise Island

The Bahamas Swimming Pigs are quite well known in the beautiful islands, and you may have thought you had to travel so far to see them; Not anymore! Sandy Toes is home to a sanctuary of protected wildlife including our Royal Peacocks, curly tail lizards, ocean reef life and our beloved “farm – saved” beach going, swimming pigs!

Meet Babe, Wilbur, Pumba, Larry, Curly, Mo, Ginger, Pepper, and Spice, just some of our awesome Rose Island piggies! Our wide range of big guys and some little guys are vet checked and cared for on the regular, and only given the cleanest diet served with plenty of love, sunshine, and sunscreen (yes, sunscreen!) With tons of space to run around, the ocean next door to take a dip in, and a protected and shaded pad to call their own, they’re living the dream on Rose Island! Come see for yourself!

The swimming pigs are part of our Full Day Excursions from Nassau to Rose Island. The experience (which is totally optional) is included in your price along with access to the island, snorkeling, lunch, and all of the other amazing Sandy Toes amenities already available to our guests!

What You Need to Know About The Swimming Pigs

As if your day wasn’t action packed enough with the Sandy Toes day excursion, we’ve thrown in some face time with some of the most lovable animals you’ll ever meet. They love the attention and we provide healthy, hearty snacks for you to feed them with while you get your swimming pig selfies.

We also take great pride in making sure our piggies are as healthy and as happy as they can be. That means we seek the highest level of veterinary certification through the Government of The Bahamas. See our official seal below:
