7 Things to Expect to See on a Pig Beach Excursion from Nassau
Go on Pig Island tours to live out a dream!
Check out the top Exuma excursions on your Pig Beach excursion from Nassau:
Staniel Cay Yacht Club
Staniel Cay Yacht Club is often known as the ‘Gateway to the Exumas’ because of its central location between Nassau and Great Exuma. It is a great stopping off point for sailors and fishermen traversing the beautiful Caribbean.
It is also a great place for tourists to take a break from the sun and have a beer (or several) with locals and tourists alike.
Compass Cay Sharks
The Compass Cay sharks are one of the best Exuma excursions from Nassau. The marina at Compass Cay is filled with dozens of Reef and Nurse sharks which are almost completely habituated and harmless.
When fully grown, these sharks can get up to 14-feet in length! But don’t worry, as we said, they are harmless bottom-feeders, not man-eaters.

James Bond 007 Thunderball Grotto
On your Pig Beach excursion from Nassau, you might as well stop at Thunderball Grotto too.

However, swim closer and you will notice the secret natural entrances and underwater tunnels that lead to a hollowed-out paradise with exotic sea life, glistening water, and natural sun windows in the middle of the rock formation. It is one of the more adventurous things to do near the swimming pigs island and you can easily reach it after swimming with the pigs as it is right next door to Big Major Cay (within swimming distance)!
