Located in the Exumas (365 cays that are part of the Bahamas), Big Major Cay, commonly known as Pig Island, is the original Bahamas island with swimming pigs. It is accessible from several islands in the Bahamas as well as Florida. Most swimming pig tours include other tourist attractions and experiences, including snorkeling in Thunderball Grotto (a filming location for two James Bond movies) and swimming with nurse sharks at Compass Cay.

The Exuma pigs of Pig Island, Bahamas have been in their tropical paradise for years. Over 6.62 million people went swimming with these pigs in 2018 and the spectacle is slated to continue growing in popularity year-after-year with its social media virality skyrocketing. If you visited the pigs, would you want to swim with them?

When the Exumas gained popularity with the rich and famous in the 1980s and '90s, the resident pigs were too smelly to stay. The solution was to move the pigs to the nearby island of Big Major Cay (later known as Pig Island) where they would boat the pigs' daily feed to them at the same time every day. Soon, the pigs picked up on the pattern; if they saw the boat, that meant their food was nearing. It wasn't long before the pigs began swimming to the boat to be the first ones fed. Now the pig farmers don't have to feed the pigs anymore, the tourists do that for them. There are now several other cays (islands) that host pigs for tourists to visit. Would you rather visit one of these less crowded cays to swim with the pigs?
