HIGHLIGHTS
A PARTICULARLY PECULIAR EXPERIENCE
Set out on a truly unexpected adventure as you make your way to Crystal Bay in Deadman’s Reef. What was once a treacherous beach for the likes of pirates and rum-runners, is now home to an activity unique to The Grand Bahama Island, enjoying the ocean with the island’s wild pigs. While these friendly mammals are normally found in a barnyard, they’ve made their home on the tropical island, and love to meet new friends from visiting cruise ships.
WADE IN THE WARM WATERS
As you make your way to the warm waters and white sand beach your guide will provide instructions for wading with the beach boars, how to feed them, and enjoy photo opportunities while maintaining a safe environment for yourself and the animals. Once on the beach, head into the calm, shallowdepth waters and watch with eager anticipation while your furry friends swim toward you – as they can spot the fresh apple in your hand from a mile away.
INTERACT WITH THE ADORABLE CREATURES
Bask in the rays of the sun and relax as the pigs splash around in search of your tasty treats. Your interactions with the intelligent creatures are sure to put a smile on your face and remain in your memory for years to come. After all, it’s not every day you get to go swimming with the pigs.

HIGHLIGHTS
VISIT A VIBRANT LANDSCAPE
Experience the natural beauty of The Bahamas on an adventure through the country’s most stunning landscapes. From the botanical paradise to the dark depths of the world’s largest underwater cavern system and of course, a white sand beach, The Bahamas offers much more than water and waves to explore. Head into the vibrant vegetation of the Garden of the Groves, a pristine landscape that fills visitors with a sense of tranquility and peace. Walk through the garden’s trails and witness the beauty of the Bahamas. Be sure to listen for birds singing in the trees and keep an eye out for butterflies as they travel between brilliant floral displays. Enjoy outstanding photo opportunities at the garden’s waterfalls and quaint consecrated chapel.
For a glimpse into the history of The Bahamas, you’ll go beneath the earth’s surface at Lucayan National Park. Home to over six miles of underwater cave systems, the Lucayan National Park is one of the largest charted underwater cave systems in the world. Long before the likes of Columbus and other colonial explorers visited The Bahamas, the Lucayan people thrived off the fresh water of the caves and the island’s flora and fauna. As you explore the caves, your local guide will tell the story of The Bahamas’ ancient inhabitants and the remaining mysteries surrounding them.
BASK IN THE SUN & ENJOY LUNCH AT FORTUNE BEACH

After your adventure, sit back, relax, and enjoy an authentic island lunch prepared at the Banana Bay Restaurant.
