Spend a custom six-hour day from Freeport meeting the pigs of Crystal Beach, sampling West End conch, and optional snorkeling with turtles. This private tour combines wildlife encounters and local food stops with a trilingual guide who tailors the day to your pace.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off an air-conditioned van into sunlight that pours across pale sand and water so clear it reads like glass. The pigs are already in the shallows, nosing at the surface and waddling through turquoise, utterly unconcerned with human company. A trilingual Bahamian guide sets the rhythm for the day, and the shoreline becomes a small stage of curiosity and laughter as you feed, pet and get in the water with the pigs.
