Blast 38 nautical miles down the Exuma chain by powerboat to the only operator with its own private island, where the world-famous swimming pigs paddle out to greet you in waist-deep turquoise. The all-day trip stacks the bucket-list: hand-feed endangered rock iguanas, snorkel a reef, swim with stingrays and nurse sharks, watch a fresh conch-salad demo, then a cooked lunch and open bar. This is the single image the Bahamas is famous for, and skipping it is the one regret a first-timer with one port day will carry home.
What to expect
A full-day powerboat blast 38 nautical miles down the Exuma chain to a private island, where swimming pigs paddle out to greet you in waist-deep turquoise water. You'll hand-feed endangered rock iguanas, snorkel a living reef, and swim alongside stingrays and nurse sharks, punctuated by a fresh conch-salad demonstration and a cooked lunch with open bar. This is the singular bucket-list image the Bahamas is famous for—the day distills the archipelago's marine life and turquoise waters into one unforgettable rhythm of animal encounters and tropical immersion.
Good to know
Departure is ~9am from the Paradise Island ferry terminal with return around 5pm, consuming your entire port day; confirm your ship's all-aboard time before booking and use Powerboat Adventures' own boats to guarantee same-day return. The operator offers 10% discounts for online booking (~$269/adult), saving $60–150 versus cruise-line resales at $359–449/person. Bring swimwear, sunscreen, and a towel; snorkel gear is included. Book directly with Powerboat Adventures rather than through the ship to secure the lowest price and most flexible scheduling.
