The Perfect Day - Our perfect day trip was exactly as it sounds! All of the crew were amazing. They knew all the best spots so we could snorkel, watch the turtles and how to interact with the piggies. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to spend the day looking at turquoise waters and having fun on a boat.

Swimming pigs - This excursion was totally worth it. If you don’t want a full day excursion then I highly recommend this company. I think the entire activity was a total of 4 hours. Although the boat was a little small there were enough seats for everyone and extra. If you are sensitive to the sun then aim for the seats at the rear/ middle of the boat. We booked the excursion mainly for the pigs and it was amazing. They were not forced and came straight down to the beach to eat, 💩 and greet. The water was also a beautiful light blue and clear. The crew is very quick about picking up the pig doodoo, the crew was very professional and friendly throughout the entire experience. Follow their instructions and your experience will be great overall. Boat ride was smooth to my standards. Slightly bumpy on the way back but not terrible. Extras: kayaks, floats pads, hammocks and lounge chairs. Very cool resting area. Clean restrooms. Although some food and drinks were included it doesn’t hurt to bring some light extra snacks and your own water. Nick and Alex highly recommend. Recommendations to crew: I didn’t mind too much showing up an hour early for check-in but waiting an hour in that hot ahhhs parking lot with no shade is not ok especially when shade isn’t available over all the seats on the boat. It’s unnecessary extra sun time. Thank you for a great time and wish the best for the growth and success of this business.

It Really Is The Perfect Day! - By far the best way to snorkel, look for turtles, and of course swim with the pigs. We were staying at The Harborside Resort at Atlantis. Took the 9:30AM tour. Made the whole family walk across the big bridge to The Green Parrot restaurant where you meet up. Pro Tip - that I didn’t take advantage of - was to simply walk over early and have breakfast at The Green Parrot. Anyway, quick walk down to the dock to the boat. Left out of the dock quickly and did some snorkeling and turtle watching. Then went to the beach club on Rose Island. The jungle juice was freely flowing and the BBQ lunch ( burgers/dogs/chips) was perfect. Then the pigs came marching down. Another Pro Tip: Be the last person to have your pig treats left so you get dedicated attention from the pigs. They stay out for a good 30 minutes with you on the beach. Then back to dock. Last Pro Tip - plan on having lunch and drinks back at The Green Parrot before you head back to your hotel/resort. All told , this was a great trip with a great and fun crew. Definitely going again.

You will not go wrong on this trip. It was outstanding. Everybody had a great time. Safe, great customer service. - Take the family, go as a couple or single. This adventure was worth every penny we spent. The three person crew was top notch. Randy was the first mate. He, the Captain and assistant were all INCREDIBLE. We love that they loved their jobs and it showed. You won’t go wrong with this excursion.
